Elizabeth: The Golden Age Page #5

I'd like to do more.

So why don't you?

All right, then. I will.

You see? You lie.

You don't want me on your

ship at all. You're a liar.

Bess. Would you

like to go to sea?

I'm afraid

that's not possible.

Women bring bad luck

on board ship.

Do they?

Lock up a hundred men in a

space smaller than this room

for months at a time.

Men have needs.

A beautiful woman

would drive us all mad.

Men have needs?

Let them stay on land

and see to their needs.

Mr. Raleigh is eager to sail

away to his maiden colony.

We must persuade him to stay a

little longer. Mustrt we, ladies?

Bess?

No!

Wait! What do you want?

Who are you?

Let me go, damn it!

Who the hell are you?

If you won't assist me,

perhaps your father will.

No.

Enough.

Enough.

Enough.

Yes?

You cannot

save England now.

The Enterprise

has begun.

Ambassador?

What do you know of the

Enterprise of England?

The Enterprise? Forgive me,

Majesty, I'm not familiar...

Two armies landing on the

coasts of Sussex and Norfolk.

Mary Stuart is to be set free

and placed on the English throne,

and I am to be

assassinated.

Does any of this

sound familiar?

I know nothing

of any invasion plans...

Well, I refer to this plan

as the Enterprise of England,

it should more accurately be

called la Empresa de Inglaterra

because it is

a Spanish plan.

The plan of my

one-time brother-in-law,

your king,

to attack my country.

Your country? It is my

country that is under attack.

Your so-called piratas, your pirates

attack our merchant ships daily.

And you... You think we don't

know where the orders come from?

The whole world knows these

pirates sail up the Thames,

all the way

to your royal bed.

You will leave

my presence, sir.

Go back to your rat hole.

Tell Philip I fear neither him,

nor his priests, nor his armies.

Tell him if he wants to shake

his little fist at us,

we're ready to give him

such a bite,

he'll wish he'd kept his hands

in his pockets.

You see a leaf fall and you think

you know which way the wind blows.

Well, there is

a wind coming, madam,

that will sweep away

your pride.

I, too, can command

the wind, sir!

I have a hurricane in me that will

strip Spain bare if you dare to try me!

What are you staring at?

Lower your eyes.

I am the Queen!

You are not my equal, sir,

and you never will be!

DR. DEE. The alignments of the

planets is most unusual this year.

Mars is due to take

the ascendant

three days after the anniversary

of Your Majesty's birth.

And also on that day,

there is a full moon,

which governs the fortune of

all princes of the female gender.

Princes of the

female gender.

I mean to say, a prince

who is also a woman.
