There is no past.

And tell me, when all the blood is spilled,

Only the future. There is something more I must tell you. I am with child. A speedy settlement. I will bring forward new proposals to the Parliament soon.

Your Majesty, my heart is filled with joy to hear that promise. But I must tell His Majesty. From the love that I bear Your Majesty, And ever will, there are some in the army that are put to worry. By the many rumours that His Majesty. Yet seeks an intervention from the Scottish force. No, no, no, no.

And that is also a promise from His Majesty?

Of course it is a promise. Thomas Rainsborough. What of him, Majesty? He is a fanatical. A Leveller. Should such a man be in such high command? I would sleep easier in my bed.

All matters.

If he were removed from our affairs. Thomas is the best man in England, sire. And my friend. Well, then let any man here tell me a better way. Let any man here tell me any other way. This ship can be brought into harbour. Other than to talk to Charles Stuart? He game me solemn undertakings. Promises from his own lips. Which will prove false as ever before. We have Royalist uprisings in south Wales,

In Yorkshire and in Cheshire. Then let us crush them! Aye Thomas, we can crush them. We can spend our lifetimes, and our children's lifetime,

That man is you.

Killing and killing again. But when the killing stops, where is England? We cannot achieve all, my friends, But we can achieve. a sufficiency! A sufficiency of Charles Stuart? A sufficiency of bloated thieves in the Parliament? A sufficiency of soldiers who fought for their country, Only to be told they must now starve for the wages promised. I fought not for that sufficiency! Hear, hear! Well, what then, Thomas? More death, more destruction, what? We exile Charles Stuart.

None such in England then?

Let him depart. Let us govern the country through councils elected in the streets. The guilds, the universities. Elected in the streets? By whom?

By all men. For I think the poorest he that is in England.

He will be charged with making unlawful war on England.

Has a life to live is the greatest he. No more Parliaments for men with property only. We should burn it down. Well, then, Thomas. .and all of you, my friends and comrades,

I must tell you this. What Colonel Rainsborough urges this council to accept. Is a form of government unknown on this Earth, And one that will straightway fall into anarchy. Rather than let this beloved England fall into such misery, I tell you now, I would pull promises out of Charles Stuart's mouth. Another thousand years. Then it's clear, General. In this beloved England, one of us will not live.
