:04:00
England is no longer
a country for a young man.
:04:02
l recall you spoke
out in Parliament for the rights...
:04:05
...and privileges of common people.
:04:09
That was a long time ago, Mr. lreton.
:04:12
l had a vision then.
:04:13
A great nation.
:04:15
Prosperous, God-fearing,
good laws, strong...
:04:20
...respected throughout the world.
:04:23
That was the England l dreamed of.
:04:25
Well, sir, you are a squire now,
a man of property.
:04:29
Perhaps you no longer care
for the common people.
:04:33
Perhaps l"ve been misinformed, sir.
:04:35
l thought, as a Puritan, you
would see it as your God-given duty...
:04:39
...to do the Lord"s work in this land,
regardless of sacrifice.
:04:42
Mr. lreton, l was fighting
for the liberty of the common people...
:04:47
...when you were in knee breeches.
:04:49
Then why are you leaving?
:04:54
l am leaving because this country
crawls with greed and corruption.
:04:59
lt is governed by profiteers...
:05:01
...who think more
of their pockets than their principles.
:05:04
l am leaving because we have a king
who taxes the rich beyond its means...
:05:08
...and steals land
from the poor to maintain...
:05:11
...his lavish court
and his Catholic wife.
:05:13
When Parliament objected
against these injustices...
:05:17
...he closed his Parliament down.
:05:19
And our man dare not speak
his mind for fear of imprisonment.
:05:22
Oh, yes.
:05:24
All my life l believed it was God"s work
to fight against such tyranny.
:05:28
But God has turned his back
upon this nation, and we are leaving it.
:05:35
And what if Parliament
should be recalled, Mr. Cromwell?
:05:39
-And why should a king do that?
-He needs money, Oliver.
:05:43
-What? To build another palace?
-No.
:05:47
To fight a war.
:05:52
A war, John?
:05:56
A war against whom?
:05:58
The Scots have assembled
on our border.
