"Truly." "Well that is sad news indeed." "Indeed." "Give this man three of our best horses." "I have further news Your Majesty." "Speak it." "I fear this news will incur your wrath." "Speak it, man." "There is a rival claimant to the throne, Your Majesty" "Princess Isabella" "A Catholic." "I have no rival claimant.... for I am no claimant." "I am the next King of England, and no human being, no mere mortal will stand in my way else I will show them what "mere mortal" means." "I will put them to the sword." "I will have his head." "He is a Catholic." "Cut off his head?" "What message would that send to the Catholics of England?" "To hell with them." "They will take up arms." "And I will destroy them." "And what if you fail?" "And should you succeed you would rule forever a divided kingdom." "You have waited for blood to take the crown of England, now it is within your grasp, do not let it slip for the lack of words."

"I am a King, Thomas Percy." "A king does not succumb to threats." "A person who threatens a King must die." "So be it." "A noble, heroic man." "That is for others to say, Your Majesty." "I say it." "Then I thank you." "Have you no thought, Thomas Percy, for those less noble, less heroic?" "We have twisted limb, and cowardly halved an evil soul have we not endured enough?" "Must we look upon people such as thee and suffer even more in that comparison?" "So what would you sacrifice, for your faith?" "I would give my life, Your Majesty." "Sacrifice, ones life for ones faith, means you go straight to heaven." "I see your courage in that." "But your honor, would you sacrifice your honor, for your faith?" "No, for to sacrifice my honor in this way, is to sin against my faith, Your Majesty." "Sacrifice your honor to me and I will grant you all that you wish." "Oh, I see that look of disgust in your eye." "I know it well," "I see it in the eyes of my good wife, my eldest child, it is a look no man can disguise." "Honest and true, and I have grown so very, very fond of it." "Why don't you strike me?" "Why don't you strike me?" "Is it because I am a King, to strike me is to die?" "Is it cowardice?" "Do you suffer this for your faith... for an end of the persecution of all that share your faith?" "If that is so Thomas Percy, why stop at this?" "Why have half a hog, when we can have whole?" "Regina died!" "Long live The King!" "Long live King James VI of Scotland and the first England!" "Out!" "Out!" "Queen Elizabeth is dead." "We must ride to England." "My Lord, we cannot ride before the funeral." "The soul of England must not lie on thee." "We must wait." "We wait for men to make us the finest carriage the world has ever seen." "It will be drawn by horses from Arabia." "We wear expensive gowns from France." "For this one moment I've endured pain, and humiliation and I warn you my dear repulsive husband, we will enter London as a great King and Queen, not as Scottish beggars." "You have Catholics custody Lord Cecil, release them." "Is that wise Your Majesty?" "Do not the people love me?" "Is there a man in England who wishes me harm?" "No, Your Majesty." "Therefor release the Catholics." "There will be persecuted no more" "To decide such a thing so early in your reign," "Your Majesty, is rash" "Release them!" "As Your Majesty wishes." "Robert." "What say The King?" "He has promised us tolerance." "Tom, good to see you." "Francis." "And if he breaks his promise?" "Then I will kill with my bare hands." "Not long now, Majesty." "Just a little." "We are impoverished." "Yes, Your Majesty." "I am a king, who lacks the money, to act as a king." "We fight a war with Spain, Your Majesty." "And Elizabeth's funeral was also costly." "When you lavished money upon the old Queen's funeral, did you not have not think about the new King's coronation?" "She was much loved, Your Majesty." "Were Elizabeth had 100 horses to pull her coffin," "I will have 200 to pull my carriage." "Where she had thousands at her funeral," "I will have tens of thousands at my coronation." "The country will see as the rising sun." "We will ask Parliament, Your Majesty." "Huh, ask?" "I will not ask I am the anointed king of England." "I have a divine right to rule, I will not "ask."" "Only Parliament can grant you the money, Your Majesty." "That is how things..... that is how things are done in England." "You know, the price I paid for this." "Was it a boy or a girl?" "A girl." "Then it could have been worse." "The coronation may not be as grand as we had hoped." "I saw her face." "A taunt, disnatured torment, just like thee, and God showed mercy on a creature with such ugliness and snatched it away er the world could see it." "Can Parliament be persuaded?" "We will write a speech to move mountains." "You see ugliness, disfigurement, but I am every inch a King." "A King of England and Scotland." "Two great countries that have been at war with each other since time began are now united and at peace through me." "Peace makers also with Spain." "A war that each of you has has sanctioned, a war that emptied the coffers of this country, is now, through the wisdom invested in me, by Almighty God, seen to end." "I have three children," "Two of them male." "I've provided you with a line of future Kings." "Did the barren Elizabeth?" "Already, I have done more for this country than Elizabeth did during her entire reign." "Am I to suffer the coronation of a pauper, while she had the funeral of an empress?" "Gentlemen, all those in favour with this submission say "aye"" "and those against say "No" Nay, nay!" "It was the phrase "the barren Elizabeth", I did warn you warn you, Your Majesty." "To hell with Parliament." "You can turn this to your advantage, Your Majesty." "Speak." "There is plague in London." "A king who loves his people, would not bring them together at a time of plague." "Damn it!" "There is a plague London, woman!" "A king who loves his people does not bring them together at a time of plague!" "Not even for his own coronation!" "Three children are enough." "You may take lovers now, but men I will not." "Blast, men aren't discreet." "I thank you." "Soon the war with, Spain will be over;" "soon we will be rich." "And more men and arms are needed in France." "More?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "Spain has scored a great victory." "Spain should sue for peace." "Well they wish to sue for peace from a position of strength." "That is diplomacy, Your Majesty." "We cannot afford it." "No, Your Majesty." "What is this?" "The figures in the right hand column." "What are these?" "You would be appalled." "Tell me." "Offended, disgusted." "Tell me." "They are fines paid by Catholics during the reign of Queen Elizabeth." "Is it much?" "Yes." "But you have stopped the pursuit of Catholics, and therefor, of course, you have stopped that particular source of income." "I have always acknowledged the Roman Catholic Church, to be the true Mother Church." "I am not her enemy." "There are certain failings and corruptions I would wish to put right but still, that does not make me, their enemy." "SinceI accededto thethronehowever, therehasbeenamarkedincreaseinthe numbers attending Roman Catholic services," "Thishascomeaboutbecausepriestsand Jesuits have taken advantage of my clemency andhavegoneaboutthecountry openly saying Mass." "This should stop." "Accordingly,I issuethisproclamation of banishment on payment of death."

"I think that Your Majesty has forgotten his promise!" "I think that Your Majesty forgotten his promise!" "Our day will come" "I think that Your Majesty forgotten his promise!" "Your Majesty forgotten his promise!" "Children are sobbing!" "That is indeed, unusual." "It's not hanging enough with these priests, must we also butcher them?" "Henceforth priests and Jesuit must be merely hanged, the butchery will cease." "If only that was possible." "Explain yourself." "Your Majesty, we deal with fanatics." "They welcome, death, martyrdom." "We deal with religious fanatics." "They welcome death, martyrdom, for it is their gateway to heaven." "When death itself will not deter the process of death should do so, and it must be slow." "So degrading, so agonizing that it, and it alone, would dissuade the would be martyrs." "The butchery will continue." "You and your children, may absent yourself." "I thank you for that at least." "Have you chosen yet, you lover?" "No." "Then I will come to your bed tonight." "To see men executed is........" "English, Signora." "Guy Fawkes!" "Fawkes, you fight for Spain?" "I fight for the Catholic faith." "You admire Robert Catesby?" "I admire all men of courage." "Whenever taken up the sword for their faith." "A man may fight in other ways." "You have fought?" "Yes." "How?" "I have always spoken out..." "You've spoken out, Tom but what have you done?" "What have you actually done?" "We must take up arms." "We'll be slaughtered." "So be it." "Better to die than live on one's knees." "Francis!" "The Ladies miss your company." "We will be in soon Margaret." "I'll tell them." "Let me seek the help of Catholic Spain." "No.." "Spain's sent ship after ship and not one Spaniard has landed on our coast." "I'm not asking for Spaniards, I will ask them for money." "If no money is forthcoming, return via Flanders, return with Guy Fawkes." "Tomorrow I journey abroad." "The King has resumed his persecution of Catholics." "And this necessitates your journey abroad?" "It does." "What do they intend?" "To take up arms." "And you?" "We must leave this place." "We must avoid these people like the plague." "Look what we got, momma." "Your Majesty!" "He would have killed you." "He wished only to give me the flag of my dear country!" "A man named Guy Fawkes has entered the country." "He is an assassin." "This might have been he." "She's here, Fawkes." "You are sir?" "This is..." "I'm John Johnson" "I trust this woman with my life!" "Do not trust her with mine." "There are rooms, beneath, Parliament." "Thomas Percy will rent one of these rooms." "We will fill it with gunpowder." "Fawkes will light the fuse and blow the King and his Parliament to hell when next they meet." "There are Catholics in Parliament... scores of innocence." "In a just and holy war the Church accepts that innocents will have to die." "You will engulf innocent people in a Hugh ball of fire" "They will be martyrs." "A man has the right to choose martyrdom, not have it thrust upon him." "Then we will warn those who deserve to be warned." "These are details." "Details?" "Yes." "What then?" "The king is dead." "Parliament is no more." "Chaos reigns." "What then?" "We seize power." "Huh, we four?" "When the time is ripe, You will recruit your brother Robert." "He has men and horses." "Other Catholics too have men and horses." "We will raise an army, and with that army, we will restore order through chaos." "Catholic order." "You think of the great suffering that we cause." "Yes." "History will discount it." "In a hundred years time people will look back and think not of the pain and death but only of our audacity." "Fawkes" "The name Fawkes is known to Cecil and his men." "Outside this room you will call me John Johnson." "From now until the act itself, we must all abstain from alcohol." "I will light the fuse." "Fawkes will light the fuse." "Whoever lights the fuse will be seen as central to the plot." "It should not be a mere soldier." "Fawkes will light the fuse." "Do not you not trust me, Robert?" "I trust you Thomas." "I trust Fawkes even more." "Will you abstain from alcohol?" "No." "You are with men who would sacrifice their lives for the Catholic faith." "How dare you!" "You will not even give up alcohol." "I have sacrificed more for the Catholic faith than you will ever know." "Thomas....will you abstain?" "Yes" "Women too, can loosen the tongue." "Beware of them, and be aware of the informer." "The informer will be close to you." "Someone who claims to be an ardent Catholic, an enemy of the King." "This person will mock you pious words and say," ""What have you actually done?"" "Tell this person nothing, this person is an informant." "I'm a Christian soldier at war with a corrupt Catholic Church." "A fat Catholic priest sold my father a week off his time in purgatory." "Sold it for a guinea, another guinea and he sold my mother a week off her time in purgatory" "On two guineas three weeks," "Four guineas six weeks." "My parents spent all the money they had in this world on peace and happiness in the next." "And the fat Catholic priest bought with that money?" "Fine food, fine wine and a fine house and some fine horses." "To hell with fat Catholic priests." "Blood of Christ." "Behold the example of Christ," "Christ who was born and lived in poverty, who drove the money changers from the temple, fed the hungry, and tended the sick, and gave to the poor." "Blood of Christ." "The example of Christ shames them." "The devil promote the Mother of Christ." "They sell trinkets in her name." "The mother of Christ who never bled as I bleed." "The mother of Christ who never knew man, as I have known man." "The mother of Christ who makes all womankind ashamed of their sex." "To hell with her." "I'm a Christian soldier, and behalf of my puritan faith, on behalf of all my sex, on behalf of my dear sweet parents, on behalf of Christ Almighty himself," "I wage war on the corrupt Catholic Church." "My Lord Cecil." "My Lady." "This room is smaller than the others I fear." "I'll take it." "Number of barrels required?" "Four dozen." "People say to me peace makers." "Why deal in gunpowder, when peace beckons?" "Your reason for purchasing the gunpowder sir?" "To fight in Flanders for my King and country." "Your name, sir?" "I fear it's a requirement." "Thomas Percy." "Thomas Percy, Your Majesty." "My armor, go." "You know Thomas Percy, My Lord?" "Yeah, get away!" "I trust I have done Your Majesty some service." "and I trust Your Majesty will remember me...." "You will have your reward, I will see to that." "Enough!" "Your Majesty." "Thomas Percy." "Thomas Percy visited me in Scotland he aaya...." "He wished me to promise an end to the persecution of Catholics." "and did you, Majesty?" "You must apprehend him." "You protect yourself and neglect your wife and children" "Bring my wife armor!" "I will not wear armor!" "Then why did madam did you complain?" "I complain on behalf of our children." "Your children complain well enough on their own, they never cease!" "You must apprehend him now." "As your Majesty wishes" "He has gunpowder, enough for an army, a huge army." "I could be shot at any moments." "Apprehend him now!" "As Your Majesty wishes." "Speak man!" "Should this plot widen, then you will have not one traitor, but all who follow him." "We will hang them all, and confiscate their money and houses, bring untold wealth for your purse, and destroy forever the Catholics." "Let it widen." "Widen?" "The king is nervous." "Tom Winter is not a complete fool." "I can not ask him direct question." "I'm sure there are things that might loosen his tongue." "I'm not a whore, My Lord," "and I do not do this for money." "But it helps." "Excuse me." "it's good to see you again Mister..." "Johnson." "Johnson, forgive me." "She sings well, does she not?" "Yes." "You should lie down." "You've uttered two words, you must be exhausted." "I receive the blessed sacrament, taste the wine and it becomes the blood of Christ, and I can not stop." "To keep my promise to abstain from alcohol" "I promise to abstain forever from the holy sacrament." "Would you ask that of every Catholic man?" "You seem less fond of Catesby today." "I do?" "Why is that?" "I've grown fond of someone else, perhaps." "Who?" "I cannot believe it is I." "Come." "Fawkes told me to be wary of women." "Fawkes is a fool." "I wish to help you in your enterprise." "It's dangerous." "So be it." "What would you have me do?" "You cannot help us Margaret." "For I am sworn to secrecy." "You yourself is danger?" "Perhaps." "Promise me you will not take on any super plods." "I promise you that." "There will be many men along side me." "Many?" "Many." "I will pray for your enterprise." "then will pray for you safe return." "And now we speak no more of it." "Good powder." "Tomorrow night we'll take it up river." "Good evening." "Good evening." "Good evening Fawkes." "I'm not Fawkes, I'm Johnson." "Forgive me." "He's not Fawkes, he's Johnson." "Yes." "He's not Fawkes he's Johnson." "Tom what's wrong?" "He not Fawkes he's Johnson!" "You frightened me." "Where have you been?" "I've been walking." "In such weather?" "Yes." "Want to whispered sweet nothings in your ear?" "Did you bathe when I left?" "Did you wash me away?" "Did you say to yourself, 'Stay with him it's the price I have to pay for the words he utters."" "Where did you money from, Margaret?" "You know where I get my money." "Your Aunt?" "Yes." "An aunt whom have never met." "Do you a spy for Lord Cecil?" "How dare you!" "I said Fawkes told me to be wary of women." "You did not say "Who is Fawkes " you said "Fawkes is a fool"" "Yes!" "How do you know Fawkes?" "I've spoken with...." "How do you know his name?" "Fawkes told me his name!" "When?" "Only days ago." "You, have not heard the name Fawkes from me or any of my colleagues." "Therefor you have heard it from Cecil, or one of his spies." "I believe I heard those words from the man that I've grown to love." "I love being with you." "I will do anything you ask of me, anything, anything." "A spy and a whore !" "With women such as thee, virility, it's weakness, impotence is strange!" "I will bring the King to the Palace of Westminster." "Assemble four dozen armed men there." "Whenever the King leaves the safety of the palace he is to be surrounded by guards." "Close up the house!" "It is she." "We will move you to the Palace at Westminster, Your Majesty," "You'll be safe there." "You no longer have a spy in their camp." "We know who they are, Your Majesty." "Fawkes, Catesby, Percy, Winter." "They will be followed night and day." "If their bowls move...." "You will know it!" "Did you know they would murder your spy?" "I beseech, Your Majesty, show a fraction of the courage that your mother did when she laid her head upon the block." "If you cannot muster that courage, she died in vain." "You will be forever a pauper King." "You blame me, Lord Cecil," "I am an instrument in your hands" "I serve you, Your Majesty." "Did Elizabeth a threat such as this?" "She did." "How did you protect her?" "We had a double, a woman who seemed her mirror image." "It was she who walked amongst the people." "But in your case, Your Majesty, that would be....." "Impossible!" "Difficult." "Let the plot widen." "We will apprehend them now!" "I care not for my safety, I care less for yours, but I will not endanger the lives of my children!" "Your children!" "It would be cheaper to fight a war with Spain, than it is to provide for the needs of you, and your children madam!" "To bear those children I had suffer you in my bed." "I was fearful enough, must I now endure assassins at my gate?" "Move!" "Let the plot widen." "My family and I, have moved into these premises because of security." "Your job must be to protect and every entrance." "Repel any attack, any attack!" "Must, must repel, any attack, for as long as it takes." "As long as it takes!" "When their reinforcements arrive," "repel them all." "This is a map of the Palace of Westminster." "For the King of Denmark loved his country." "He loved rich brown soil that fed the valley, oats and rye, the potatoes and beets that grow within it." "Thick green grass that fattened the cattle, and the fruit trees and the forests with the wind blowing through the pines trees." "And the needles dropping and carpeting the ground, and gulls, hanging and swooping above the sea." "Below, salmon and natural oysters." "Who were these things without care for?" "How your grandfather loved Denmark." "For we intend to blow the King and his Parliament to Hell when next they meet." "Damn you!" "If you do not wish to join us" "I have no option but to join with you." "The other option is to betray you, my own brother, that is no option at all." "Do you think the King will understand when I say" "I knew of this plot and said nothing of it because I did not want to betray my brother?" "No Tom, I am to hang when you are hanged." "You came to me because I have horses and wealth." "I have them still, despite years of persecution." "I have labored and protected all that I own so that I may pass it onto my children." "Now it is all in vain for they will be branded traitors." "My children will be penniless." "You know nothing of this plot, we have never spoken." "Look around around fool!" "The man by the window followed you in, others still hear us." "The King will know that I know of this plot." "I was doomed as soon as you spoke." "Thomas!" "What would this achieve?" "You'd do it for our faith but our faith will be branded evil because of this." "The King will seize his chance and persecute us all." "No sir!" "No sir?" "Do you follow me?" "No, I do not follow you." "If you follow me, follow me close, damn it." "Enough!" "Follow me close!" "Enough!" "Go sir!" "I am your brother." "I am with you to the bitter." "Parliament must meet." "I accept that." "Does the King?" "He does not." "If doesn't announce a date for the opening of Parliament, then we will simply meet without his permission." "Informally?" "Formally." "That will create a schism between King and Parliament." "Absolutely it." "He will hang you." "Then he will hang himself." "Threaten to meet informally, that will be threat enough." "The king will announce a date." "And you will see to that?" "Yes." "And I have your word?" "You wish to see me Peers?" "Parliament wishes to meet, Your Majesty." "Does it now?" "If I refuse?" "That would be provocative." "I am a king!" "I do not give a damn whom I provoke!" "The 5th." "of November." "I thank you, Your Majesty" "Go." "Your Majesty." "You cannot serve two masters, Lord Cecil." "I serve you, Your Majesty." "Go." "Tell me about Denmark." "November 5th." "I swear never to divulge that which I am about to hear." "I swear never to divulge that which I am about to hear." "I swear never to divulge that which I am about to hear." "I swear never to divulge that which I am about to hear." "Our day has come, Gentlemen." "Our new friends here have armed men and horses in the North." "They will combine and move south on word of the explosion, and I will remain in London to announce the death of the King and urge the people to follow us." "Londoners will not side with Catholics." "I will say nothing about Catholicism." "For 300 years fellow Englishmen, we have fought Scotland, for what?" "For a Scottish King to sit on our throne, surrounded by Scottish cronies." "Join me now and we will chase them all back to Scotland." "And when they discover that it was, after all a Catholic plot?" "Then it will not matter, we will have absolute power." "My wife's brother will be in Parliament that day." "No one is to be warned." "There are many to be warned." "But, if we succeed wife and will lose her brother, and if fails her husband Catholics have suffered enough" "No one is to be warned!" "If my own child, were in Parliament," "I would still say nothing!" "They are good men who must be warned and I will warn them." "You have taken a vow of silence." "I will break that vow rather than disobey my conscience." "Then I must kill you." "So be it." "You will have to proceed without my money, my men and my horses." "You will each offer one name to be saved." "One?" "One!" "Lord Monteagle will not be one of them." "She's my wife's brother!" "He can not be trusted." "He will go straight to the king." "Then you'll have to kill me, and do without my money, my men and my horses." "We will." "Without your help, this plot is endangered," "With Lord Monteagle, this plot is doomed!" "Mr. Fawkes, when this meeting is ended, kill Francis Tresham." "I will." "A name, Robert?" "The Earl of Arundel." "Warn him." "Thomas?" "None." "Tom?" "None." "The Earl of Northumberland." "None." "You have the power, to save a good man's life." "Earl of Northumberland." "Earl of Northumberland." "Warn him." "Digby?" "None." "Fawkes?" "Francis?" "None." "You accept that we cannot warn Lord Monteagle?" "Yes!" "What should I do?" "My Lord Monteagle." "Francis." "My dear sister." "I have came to I invite you to the Strathford Hunt, My Lord." "Good man, when?" "5th November." "Damn you!" "My Lord?" "I will be in Parliament." "William people are talking about you." "What do they say?" "May I be blunt?" "Yes." "They say you attend Parliament only to win favour with the King." "I attend Parliament to protest against the persecution of Catholics." "I know, my Lord." "Would they sooner I do nothing?" "Well yes My Lord...." "The King doesn't listen to Catholics, therefor Catholics aught to shun his Parliament." "That too is nonsense." "That's what people say." "Then to hell with them!" "You are determined to attend?" "I am." "My Lord, if you attend Parliament," "I fear you will suffer a great blow." "How?" "I.." "I,can't say." "Ward , mark the kill." "Yes, My Lord." "How can I act upon it?" "Speak man or go!" "Will you wear before Almighty God?" "I will swear nothin, tell me of this injury?" "Promise me at least, you won't go straight to the King?" "I will swear nothing and I will promise nothing." "There is gunpowder beneath Westminster." "Parliament will be blown to hell when next it meets." "William." "William Stop." "Stop!" "Where are you going?" "I must warn the king." "They will execute my husband!" "I will tell the king I learned of this plot from your husband, he will spare him." "But what about Percy and Catesby and all who are involved in this plot?" "They will cut my husband's throat." "Damn you!" "You must tell the King that someone passed you a letter." "Who?" "A stranger." "I will write it." "Attend to the horses." "I advise you to find an excuse not to go to Westminster." "My Lord, though there be no appearance of any stir," "I tell you there should receive a terrible blow this....." "Blow!" "Gunpowder!" "Open the cellars!" "Who leased this one?" "Thomas Percy, My Lord." "Wait!" "Open." "This is how they killed my father." "The children." "We must hide away the soldiers." "All must appear normal." "It's Ward, your brothers servant." "My Lord." "He talks to Catesby." "He'll be telling him that your brother's been warned." "I'm finished." "They approach." "Sweet Jesus." "Sweet Jesus." "Will you walk with us Francis?" "Of course." "Will you excuse us, Anne?" "Of course." "Do you think us fools?" "You were asked not to warn Monteagle." "and Monteagle received a letter." "I do not think we will spare you." "But before you die you must speak the truth!" "What do we do with a fool such as thee." "I swear!" "I swear!" "I did not write that letter!" "I swear on my life!" "I swear, on the lives of my children!" "I swear on the Blessed Sacrament!" "Robert." "For God sake Robert, no!" "Robert!" "He was a traitor." "I have done God's work." "I long to see my wife and children once more in Kingdom of Heaven." "Would I do anything to endanger that?" "I, have done God's work......" "Blood of Christ." "Blood of Christ." "Blood of Christ." "Amen." "We must not act in haste." "I agree." "We must exploit this letter to the full." "A Catholic plot so vile it will destroy the Catholic Faith, and tantamount the King and his Parliament." "Attempt?" "This is no mere attempt." "This plot must succeed." "Succeed?" "The keepers of the cellars must die." "Of course." "And Monteagle." "Monteagle will do what ever you want him to do." "This plot must succeed, Your Majesty." "Yes." "An accident must befell this man." "Away, Away!" "No!" "No, no, no." "Please!" "You can hold your tongue?" "I can, Your Majesty." "You will be rewarded for your loyalty." "The plot must succeed, Your Majesty." "My enemy will destroy my enemy." "Catholics will destroy Parliament." "A parliament that has denied me everything I've ever asked for!" "A parliament that me unable to act as a King!" "But no more." "Parliament will be destroyed and I will rule as God intended." "As Your Majesty wishes." "This attempt on Parliament is evil, yes?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "It gives us license to wage war on Catholics, yes?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "But if it succeeds, it succeeds." "If people are blown to pieces, burned alive and buried alive how much more license will we have?" "We could lay waste to half the world." "There is a gunpowder merchant in Temple Lane;" "an accident must befall him." "Away!" "Away!" "Run." "Run." "As Your Majesty wishes." "We let my mother die, Lord Cecil." "My mother." "An anointed Queen." "The death of a few hundred, a few thousand mere men, are they more significant than that?" "As Majesty wishes." "His Majesty wishes you to speak!" "I have reports of armed men in the Midlands, armed men north of London too." "I hear rumor that Catholic exiles will land on our coast." "The destruction of Parliament will be their signal to attack." "How, Your Majesty will we defend ourselves?" "We will raise an army." "Form where will we raise this army, when all who could give you arms and men will be dead?" "This letter is vague." "We will tell Parliament, no man could see the true meaning of this letter, save our King." "In the nick of time, only hours before Parliament was assembled," "The King searched the cellars." "The King found the gunpowder." "The King saved the lives of you all." "Parliament would be grateful, Your Majesty." "How grateful?" "Three hundred thousand pounds?" "Tell them all is well." "When next we we meet, the King will be dead." "What is your name?" "John Johnson." "I think not." "Some will call this this plot, daring, brave." "I will say, his plan was to be elsewhere when the fuse was burning." "Elsewhere when the powder exploded." "Because he did not wish to see the bloodshed, to smell the burning flesh, to hear the screams of the dying." "Take this coward away." "You're despised, sir." "Fawkes is taken!" "What?" "We must flee." "They died for this." "Mister Fawkes." "What implement does he use?" "Thumb screw." "I told him to take care and not to crush his hand." "That is merciful." "He must be able to sign his confession." "Of course." "Our birds have flown, Your Majesty." "We pursue them." "We will have them all." "Our birds have flown;" "that is extraordinary." "But what I find even more extraordinary, 48 barrels of powder, beneath this Parliament, in a room leased out to Thomas Percy a notorious enemy of the King, and yet you knew nothing." "It was the enormity of the undertaking." "The complete disregard for human life." "No mind could anticipated such a thing." "No?" "Even you, Your Majesty." "With your intellect." "Even you did not envision it." "I need you Lords Cecil," "But I do not love you." "Remember that." "We must make haste." "To where?" "We ride on London." "Is the King dead?" "It was agreed that we ride on London." "Is the king is dead?" "Yes." "And Parliament is destroyed?" "Yes." "Then why haven't bonfires burnt throughout the land?" "I know not why." "They're a sign of rejoicing, of deliverance from evil, therefor your plot has failed." "It may yet succeed." "We have horses and arms and men." "They are ill prepared." "If you ride with us, we will win." "If we ride with you, we will die." "If you die you will go directly to heaven for you do God's work." "I envy your faith." "I beg you, ride." "No." "Then damn you!" "Damn you all!" "You find his pain distressing?" "He would have destroyed my children." "His cries are like music to my ears." "Thomas Percy must not be taken alive." "He will say we promised the Catholics toleration." "And that of course is a lie." "The gunpowder is sodden." "Useless." "Thomas." "I am Sir Richard Walsh, the High Sheriff of Worcestershire" "In the name of the King will you surrender yourself to me?" "Forgive me." "For the last time, do you surrender?" "Stand by me." "All you who will, that we shall die together." "We did not seek power.We did not seek advantage." "We did not even seek equality, we sought only toleration, and even that was denied us!" "We intend to die here, sword in hand." "For God, and the Catholic faith!" "Be upstanding before The King!" "Have you chosen yet?" "Your lover?" "I have not." "Then I will visit your new bed tonight." "This prospect no longer appeals to me." "Forgive mm." "Be seated." "I here the confession of Guido Fawkes." "A Catholic, who was found amidst four dozen barrels of gunpowder, beneath this very spot." "A confession, signed of his own free will which proves beyond doubt, the guilt, of those whom we have tried." "Had this attempt succeeded, we would all be dead." "This plot failed only through the great wisdom invested in me by Almighty God." "Lord Monteagle, stand." "Order!" "Order!" "Lord Monteagle received a vague letter, he brought it to me, and all of those around me advised me to ignore it," "I saw in it, a warning of powder." "These conspirators will be executed in the appropriate manner." "To the scaffold they will be drawn, for they are not fit to walk the earth." "They will be drawn backwards at the tail of a horse, for that would represent their backward nature." "They will be drawn upside down, for God made the head of a man the supreme part of his body." "Yet these traitors have abused God's work!" "Thew will be hanged by the neck between heaven and earth, for they are fit for neither." "Robert Winter." "Sir Everard Digby." "John Grant." "Tom Bates." "Thomas Winter." "Ambrose Rokewood." "And last but not least," "Guy Fawkes." "They will have their private parts cut off, for they are not fit to have children." "We will have their hearts cut out for in there, they conceived this treason." "They will have their heads cut off, for in there, they developed what their hearts conceived." "Their bodies will be quartered and they will be hung aloft, to be devoured by the birds of the air, and their heads will be set upon pikes and they will be left there as a reminder to all of our people, of the consequences of" "gunpowder, treason and plots." "There have been allegations, that I once promised Thomas Percy toleration of the Catholic faith, and that I broke my promise," "That is a lie!" "I have never promised toleration, nor will I ever do so." "For what this plot has shown, is that" "Catholicism must never be tolerated." "It is evil!" "And I tell you, it will be destroyed." "Ruthlessly." "Order!" "Order!" "There is a motion before this Parliament, to vote the King, 300,000 pounds." "All those in favour say "Aye"" "Aye!" "All those against say "Nay."" "The"Aye's" have it." "God save The King!" "God save The King!" "God save The King!" "God save The King!" "God save The King!" "If you could only see me now."
