:21:00
l have something in mind
l think may interest you.

:21:05
l trust that we did not take you away
from your duties to our mourning Queen?

:21:12
No, my lord. May l offer my sympathies
over the death of your brothers?

:21:16
Thank you. l suffer
but perhaps England suffers more.

:21:20
They were great men.
:21:22
But history does not pause.
The pages keep turning.

:21:27
You could be of great service
to your country, Mistress Shore.

:21:31
l? l am of no influence at court, my lord.
:21:36
You underestimate your position.
:21:38
Since the death of your mother
you are the only person still alive

:21:42
who was present
at the birth of the young Princes.

:21:46
- That is true.
- ln the pain of birth

:21:48
a woman screams, cries out,
becomes confused in her mind.

:21:53
She calls out the name
of the man dearest to her.

:21:57
Often husband
:21:59
but sometimes lover.
:22:03
- l don't understand.
- With your help, Mistress Shore,

:22:06
the birthright of the young Princes
could be easily discredited.

:22:11
Who would believe
such a monstrous lie? The Queen...

:22:14
- The Queen would do nothing.
- No!

:22:17
You defend a woman whose family
stands accused of murdering my brother?

:22:22
- My lord, if l may go...
- You may not.

:22:24
You ask me to take away the legal
birthright of two innocent children.

:22:29
Yes.
:22:34
Now?
:22:37
Ratcliffe, escort Mistress Shore below.
:22:40
Perhaps the great persuader Gelder
can remind her of her loyalties.

:22:44
No, my lord, l beg you.
:22:50
lf you change your mind,
you may yet know l am a patient man.
