TVTranscript
00:00Charles has been on the throne less than a year.
00:24In public he's towing the line and working with Parliament, but behind closed doors he's
00:29taking matters into his own hands.
00:32And right now, he needs the name of the men behind the plot to kill him.
00:36Do you think the people you're protecting give a fuck about you?
00:41Trusting your fellow men is a bedrock of a just society, without it what do we have?
00:50Kings don't normally interrogate prisoners, but Charles just loves an interrogation.
00:57Your fellow man, that's your fellow man over there, cruel, venal, self-servant, he'd kill
01:10his own brother if he thought he could get away with it.
01:14Your fellow man's an animal, White.
01:19We all are.
01:23Me, you, and the bastard Regicide.
01:28It's hunt or be hunted, I'm afraid.
01:34It's kill or be killed.
01:37Just give me a fucking name!
01:45Edmund.
01:47Ludlow.
01:59Edmund Ludlow, of course.
02:01The bastard murdered one king and now he thinks he can take down another.
02:05Well, wherever Ludlow is hiding, Charles is going to find him.
02:10Whatever it takes.
02:17Fight my little brains.
02:22Fight my little brains.
02:26Fight my little brains.
02:31Fight my little brains.
02:35Fight my little brains.
02:40Fight my little brains.
02:48Fight my little brains.
03:04Charles has executed ten regicides on his kill list, but nineteen are still on the run.
03:10London has erupted in violence.
03:14Watch it!
03:16That's the sound of the sword going in.
03:18Fifth monarchists, a sect of religious fanatics, terrorise the streets.
03:24Open up in the name of King Jesus!
03:26Do it!
03:31But what the hell did Charles expect?
03:33He cut off the head of their leader, Thomas Harrison, along with nine others, and now
03:37their supporters want revenge.
03:39This means war!
03:41Charles' vendetta is backfiring.
03:52But Charles has other pressing business to attend to.
03:59For the Lord Chancellor, Edward Hyde, this rebellion is a nightmare.
04:05How to distract the public when the country's in trouble.
04:09How about the most ambitious coronation ever staged?
04:15You'll process to the triumphal arches thus.
04:20What's your name?
04:22This is rebellion.
04:25Satan's eldest daughter.
04:28And this is chaos.
04:33You are the Emperor Augustus, bringing peace and stability.
04:40How well you know me, I.
04:43Now, when Charles returned to the throne, Parliament granted him a yearly income of
04:48£1.2 million.
04:50But Charles has almost burnt through it, and every time he needs more, he has to go back
04:55to Parliament.
04:56And with the coronation coming up, costs are spiralling out of control.
05:01Five days of celebration.
05:05Do you realise what that will cost?
05:07Charles' money issues are triggering for Hyde.
05:10Charles first tried to rule without Parliament.
05:13He levied new taxes directly from the people.
05:17It's exactly what sparked the first civil war.
05:21How many do you suggest?
05:22One.
05:24It's customary.
05:28Four.
05:31Final offer.
05:34Yeah, fine.
05:35Four.
05:37The King's mistress, Barbara Villiers, might be on the make, but more than anyone, she
05:42understands the power of public image.
05:45She's stage-managing Charles' persona as a merry monarch, which she knows is a powerful
05:51weapon in the battle against the regicide's ideas.
05:55Make no mistake, this whole merry monarch act is just that, an act.
06:11Behind the scenes, Charles is crushing the rebellion.
06:16He's using the insurgency to instigate a wider crackdown on religious minorities.
06:21The people asked for stability.
06:23They can't complain when he gives it to them.
06:25They've forgotten what strong leadership looks like.
06:31Charles sends soldiers door to door, breaking up meetings, arresting prominent Republicans
06:35like Henry Vane, looking for the 19 regicides who signed his father's death warrant, and
06:42who are still on the run.
06:45But the guy Charles really wants to find is Edmund Ludlow.
06:51Where's Ludlow?
06:53No-one knows.
06:54Some say he's in the east end of London.
06:57Others say he's gone to America.
07:00Between you and me, he's in Catholic France, and, um, he hates it.
07:08He hates it.
07:20For English Protestants, France is one of the most dangerous countries on the planet.
07:25A Catholic police state ruled by Charles' despotic cousin, Louis XIV.
07:32The deadly conflict between Catholics and Protestants in Europe has defined the last century.
07:41Over eight million people have been killed.
07:51Now there's a bounty on Ludlow's head, and France is crawling with mercenaries eager to cash in.
08:02Jesus' finger.
08:05Very sacred. Excellent price.
08:08Be gone, Hulkstar.
08:11Or I'll have your death to atone for along with all the rest.
08:21If you're the most wanted man in Europe, you need to keep your head down.
08:27I will give you Jesus' finger, and you won't even have to pay.
08:36Oh, Jesus' fucking finger.
08:39It's a special circle of hell reserved for creatures like you.
08:42It's a special circle of hell reserved for creatures like you.
08:55If there's one thing Ludlow hates more than Charles, it's Catholics.
08:59Why?
09:00Well, where to start? How about the Spanish Inquisition? Suppression of scientific inquiry? The disenfranchisement of women?
09:09That's rich. The problem with these self-righteous Republicans, they're always blaming someone else.
09:15Ludlow's precious republic massacred thousands of Catholics in Ireland. Make no mistake, his hands are drenched in blood.
09:24Bunch of hypocrites.
09:39Ludlow uses an underground network of Protestant sympathisers to evade Charles' agents.
09:46Criss-crossing France from safe house to safe house, trying to reach Republican Switzerland.
10:01Back in England, his wife Elizabeth, the wife of Charles,
10:05Back in England, his wife Elizabeth, his eyes and ears, coordinates a network of sympathisers to send him the money and intel he needs for his journey.
10:17Together they're a dangerous alliance, and right now they're the best hope for the Republican movement.
10:30Charles has issued a proclamation that any house can be searched.
10:35If there's a genuine fear of revolt.
10:43Seen anything you like?
10:46If you won't tell us where he is, we'll go looking ourselves.
10:51In my drawers.
10:53Prynne's the man who found the King's death warrant, but that's just put more pressure on him to deliver arrests for Charles.
11:01The innocent virgin act won't work with me, although it is rather becoming.
11:11If I knew where he was, which I don't, I wouldn't tell you.
11:18I'm going to ferret out every one of your dirty little secrets.
11:24Once I'm done with you, we'll be the best of friends.
11:31Charles.
11:43Get out!
11:47Charles has another trick up his sleeve.
11:49The explosion in written communication via the newly established post office gives him access to his subject's private thoughts.
11:59The machine reseals it, and the letter arrives on time. It's undetectable.
12:06How underhand.
12:10This is amazing. Charles is a geek at heart. He loves science, and he's a genius.
12:16Charles is a geek at heart. He loves science and innovation. Who cares if the technology was developed by Charles's enemies to spy on him?
12:25Now he can turn it on them. See how they like it.
12:30Your predecessor told me you can't be a great statesman unless you open people's letters.
12:36My father said that.
12:38I mean, grandma.
12:41Oh.
12:43Where's that bastard Ludlow? You must have an idea.
12:47There are so many theories it's impossible to know.
12:51Algernon, Sydney. Not a regicide.
12:55No, but a Republican.
13:01Charles has a bold new idea. What if it's not just the regicides he targets, but their Republican friends?
13:13If Charles doesn't know where Ludlow is, why not apply pressure on sympathetic Republicans like Sydney, who surely do?
13:22He'll know you've…
13:25He will know I've…
13:29These are scary times, so Charles needs to use the power of surveillance to keep law and order.
13:43This is Algernon, Sydney, a prominent Republican who's been watching the situation in England from a safe distance.
13:53Sydney's young, idealistic, a bit of a hothead. He has lofty ideas about himself.
13:59Sydney thinks he's destined for a role on the world stage. He just hasn't figured out what it is yet.
14:05But Vane did not sign Charles's death warrant. He's maddingly non-violent.
14:08But Vane did not sign Charles's death warrant. He's maddingly non-violent.
14:12And yet he's in prison.
14:14For criticising the King.
14:16Sydney's just learnt that his beloved mentor Henry Vane has been arrested.
14:21He can't yet see what this says about the path that Charles is taking.
14:32My father.
14:38The unmistakable sign of the Royal Seal.
14:46Republicans like Sydney need to learn an enemy of Charles is an enemy of the state.
14:53That's what you want your country to be, Algernon? And what it really is?
15:02So first it was regicides, now Charles can just go after anyone whose ideas he doesn't like.
15:08That's most of the bloody country.
15:23With his coronation fast approaching, Charles is perfecting his image as the wise, magnanimous King.
15:31But behind the scenes, Charles is haunted by the spectre of Edmund Ludlow.
15:40Ludlow cannot be allowed to gather Republican allies abroad.
15:50The longer he's at large, the greater the threat he poses.
15:54Charles needs a new approach.
15:56That Hyde? That's quite enough of that shit. I'm fucking roasting under all this.
16:04What about an inside man? Someone with links to the regicide? Someone who can be bought?
16:11In other words, someone who's not Edward Hyde.
16:16Using Cromwell's spies is one thing, but this man is a…
16:21What? Oh, come on, Hyde, just say it. Come on, it'll make you feel so much better.
16:27He's not a respecter of form and order.
16:33Well, nor am I, in case he passed you by.
16:36I have men I trust.
16:39And have any of these cretins managed to even locate Ludlow?
16:45No. No, they haven't, have they?
16:48No. No, they haven't, have they?
16:59No one has done more in the last decade to bring down Charles than this man.
17:05George Downing.
17:08And to Hyde's horror, Charles wants to meet him.
17:11Your friends are running around Europe like rats.
17:16They're breeding.
17:19Your Majesty, you are mistaken.
17:23I have no friends.
17:26Why should we trust a man with no friends?
17:30It's really very simple.
17:33You need to avenge yourself on your father's enemies, I need to demonstrate my loyalty to you,
17:38given my past associations.
17:41No one is more feared by the Royalists.
17:44Downing was Cromwell's ruthless spy chief in the Netherlands.
17:48Responsible for the deaths of many of Charles' friends, and very nearly Charles himself.
17:53You fought me tooth and nail, didn't you?
17:57I did it because it was expedient and profitable.
18:01Just as I come to you now, in the expectation of your loyalty.
18:05Just as I come to you now, in the expectation of financial gain.
18:12A man after my own heart, unlike Algernon Sidney.
18:19Sidney? He's not a regicide.
18:23I'm certain the little prick knows where Ludlow is.
18:26Then he must tell us.
18:28And if he won't?
18:29Then others must understand that to conceal a regicide is tantamount to being one.
18:46You see Hyde? Set a cunt to catch a cunt.
18:51Well, that's one word for him.
18:54Another would be snake, turncoat.
18:58He'd sell his soul if he had one.
19:02Why the special interest in Sidney?
19:07Well, he recently declared that the murder of Charles' father was the justice and bravest thing he had ever done.
19:15That's a stupid thing to say. He's asking for trouble.
19:30Charles has tasked Downing with bringing Sidney back to England, with or without his consent.
19:37You're not dressed for Italy, George.
19:40I don't plan to be here long.
19:44I find the English climate more agreeable.
19:48Remember, when Charles returned to the throne a year ago, both these men were ambassadors.
19:55But their lives have taken very different paths.
19:58Yeah, well, Henry Vane does not share your way with words.
20:02Or perhaps it is your lack of principle.
20:05Vane? Vane has a maddening habit of saying precisely the wrong things.
20:12He's a man of his word.
20:14He's a man of his word.
20:16He's a man of his word.
20:18He's a man of his word.
20:20He's a man of his word.
20:22He's a man of his word.
20:24He's a man of his word.
20:25He's a man of his word.
20:27He's a man of his word.
20:29Charles has been rounding up not just regicides, but prominent Republicans like Henry Vane,
20:36though he's promised not to execute them.
20:39And Charles always keeps his promises, right?
20:44Stop playing games, George.
20:47Where's Edmund Ludlow?
20:50It's not my job to know that.
20:52No? I rather thought it was.
20:53I thought it was.
20:54And I rather thought it was yours, George.
20:58An Englishman belongs at home,
21:01not in this pimpest hellhole!
21:10Downing has a soft spot for Sidney.
21:12He's trying to make him an offer,
21:14but Sidney's too headstrong to listen.
21:17It's not 1660 anymore, Algernon.
21:22The king's not just coming after his father's enemies,
21:26but his own.
21:34Well, always fun talking with you, George.
21:39Is Sidney entitled?
21:41Very.
21:42Does he think he's better than everyone else?
21:45Definitely.
21:47But one thing I'll say, the man has principles.
21:51Unlike Downing, he'd never work with Charles.
22:21This was a citizen's arrest, an ex-rape.
22:51An extradite, an enemy of the state.
22:53Not an assassination.
22:56Sidney didn't have to kill him.
22:57It just goes to show what a dangerous threat he is.
23:00Why would Charles want Sidney dead?
23:02He's only useful alive.
23:08Sidney has no idea,
23:10but he does know he needs to get out of Rome.
23:21No one knows where Ludlow is.
23:26Soldiers, mercenaries, and bounty hunters
23:28are searching for him throughout England and France.
23:32But they're nowhere near.
23:39He's just crossing the Swiss border.
23:43He's not going to be long.
23:45He's not going to be long.
23:46He's not going to be long.
23:47He's not going to be long.
23:48He's not going to be long.
23:49He's not going to be long.
24:07The day Charles has been waiting for his whole life
24:09has finally arrived.
24:14As he's anointed with the sacred chrism oil,
24:17he asks himself,
24:19will he finally feel like a king?
24:37And guess what?
24:39He does.
24:40And how can he not?
24:41A huge day of celebrations,
24:43the likes of which the country has never seen before.
24:46Peasants take to the streets
24:48to catch a glimpse of their new king.
24:58The coronation procession is so long,
25:00it takes five hours to travel.
25:02And it's not just for the king.
25:04It's for all the people of England.
25:07The coronation procession is so long,
25:09it takes five hours to travel across London.
25:14There's so much gold on display.
25:17It hurts to look at it.
25:20The people adore Charles.
25:22And he is loving every second.
25:25What an utter farce.
25:27This charlatan's bankrupting the country
25:30and rubbing everyone's faces in it.
25:32The Republicans claim to love the people.
25:36Charles.
25:42Elizabeth Ludlow can see
25:43Charles is putting England on a highway to hell.
25:51Oi.
25:53Give me those.
25:56Up and down this land,
25:58people are being hunted because when they were young,
26:00they thought they'd make a name for themselves.
26:03But the world turns,
26:05and it will turn again.
26:08Keep your powder dry till it does.
26:21As Charles celebrates his coronation,
26:24his agents are making slow progress
26:26in their attempts to catch Ludlow
26:28or the other 18 regicides on the run.
26:31To make matters worse,
26:32news of the foiled abduction of Sydney
26:35has spurred more Republicans to rally to Ludlow's cause.
26:44Rather than ridding me of my enemies,
26:45you're spawning new ones.
26:48Where is he now?
26:50He killed one man, the other fled.
26:52He's gone.
26:53No, he's gone.
26:54He's gone to find Edwin Ludlow,
26:56and I bet you he does.
26:58Don't return until you have him.
27:07There is the matter of funds.
27:12Kidnapping operations are complex.
27:18It would be cheaper if we simplified the operation,
27:22sort it all out on the continent,
27:25save on extradition costs.
27:30Look, what you need to understand
27:31is that hunting the regicides is a deliberate spectacle.
27:35He doesn't just want to bump people off quietly.
27:38He knows that justice is pointless
27:41unless it's witnessed.
27:46I'm the king, Downing.
27:50They're the fucking murderers.
27:52Just bring them to me.
27:55Bring me someone I can execute.
27:59You shall taste regicide blood before the year is out.
28:04We'll have to make do with yours, won't we?
28:08Your Majesty.
28:19Charles has spent his whole life begging for money.
28:21Now he's crowned.
28:23He vows never to get on his knees again.
28:28Charles' longtime mistress, Barbara Villiers,
28:31also craves money.
28:33But she's got a plan to ensure
28:34they never have to worry about it ever again.
28:42Parliament suspect me to live on a fucking pittance.
28:44That's so humiliating.
28:47It shouldn't even be money.
28:49Everything should just be mine in the first place.
28:54You know, Louis wouldn't put up with it.
28:58No, he wouldn't, would he?
29:00Imagine what Louis would do to him.
29:02He'd fuck them up.
29:05But even Louis relies on taxes.
29:08Not like the Spanish royals or Portuguese.
29:14Catherine of Braganza, for example.
29:19Isn't she meant to be dull?
29:24She is eligible.
29:28It's hard to tell.
29:30You're not marrying her for her looks.
29:32Does she speak English?
29:33She comes with Tangier and Bombay in India
29:38and two million crowns.
29:45I don't really think I'm the marrying type.
29:49Marriage doesn't have to be a big deal.
29:51Look at me and Roger.
29:54Hasn't he finally left you?
29:58Nothing's worse than having no money.
30:02And only people who grew up without it like we did understand that.
30:07A rich, unsuitable princess who barely speaks English.
30:12Sounds like my mother.
30:15The richer and more unsuitable, the better.
30:19Now, there's one tiny, tiny drawback.
30:23Great. She's ten years old.
30:26She's Catholic.
30:28But name me an eligible princess who isn't.
30:32Parliament won't like it.
30:35Fuck Parliament.
30:38Yeah. Fuck Parliament.
30:47You've got to hand it to Barbara.
30:49Charles thought she was just a bit of fun
30:51and an insiderable political operator in her own right.
30:58With bags of money on the way, Charles doesn't hold back.
31:01He ramps up his spy operation and takes Downing off the leash.
31:06The pressures on Downing to deliver ahead for Charles.
31:13As Cromwell's ambassador to Holland,
31:15Downing built up extensive spy networks on the continent.
31:20And these he now uses to identify the English merchant
31:24who is passing messages between the regicides in hiding.
31:29With the merchant in his pocket,
31:31Downing just needs to use his typical sleight of hand
31:34to lure them into a trap.
31:37He is now the spider at the heart of a regicide web.
31:44He uses forged letters from the exile's wives,
31:47suggesting a meeting in Delft.
31:50Three of the regicides respond.
31:53Oakey.
31:55Barkstead.
31:57And Corbett.
32:04Downing only has one shot.
32:07Once he strikes, the regicides will know
32:09that their network has been blown
32:11and that Downing can't be trusted.
32:14But before he can spring his trap,
32:16Downing needs assurances
32:18that Dutch authorities won't stand in his way.
32:31You have come to the head of Holland for an expert permit.
32:36Well, for these kinds of black market goods,
32:39you do not require a permit.
32:42Very well.
32:44An assurance, then, will suffice
32:47that you won't intervene.
32:50And in return?
32:54A trade deal.
32:57A trade deal so attractive
32:59you'll want to take it to bed and fuck it.
33:03The Dutch might be Protestant Republicans,
33:06but there's nothing they love more
33:08than money and trade.
33:11Downing gets the all clear.
33:20Betrayed by the Dutch,
33:22Oakey, Barkstead and Corbett
33:24now have a trade deal.
33:26Betrayed by the Dutch,
33:28Oakey, Barkstead and Corbett
33:30never stood a chance.
33:37The men are piled onto a ship for England.
33:51John Oakey, John Barkstead,
33:54John Oakey, John Barkstead
33:57and Miles Corbett
33:58are the latest victims of Charles's blood feud.
34:05You know, before he left for Holland,
34:07Oakey contacted his old protégé Downing
34:10to make sure it was safe.
34:13But Downing sent Oakey to his death
34:15for his own profit.
34:17And you know what he did with the money?
34:19He built a street in London.
34:21And, being Downing,
34:23he named it after himself.
34:30Things are going pretty well for Charles.
34:32Three regicides have been stitched up
34:34by their old pal, George Downing.
34:36He's struck Oakey, Barkstead
34:38and Corbett off his kill list.
34:40He's put on a public spectacle.
34:42It's justice in action.
34:44But this time, people have had enough.
34:48Theresa!
34:50Mother!
34:53The mood on the streets is nothing short of mutinous.
34:56Something has to be done.
35:01This is how movements start.
35:06Posters are plastered all over London
35:09inviting people to a peaceful vigil for Oakey
35:13to remember the dead men
35:15and show opposition to Charles' brutality.
35:20It's rumoured that 20,000 people
35:23are gathering in Stepney.
35:25That's no peaceful vigil.
35:27That's an uprising.
35:38Hyde knows this is disastrous for Charles.
35:41But the King
35:43is increasingly indisposed.
35:49We're a little bit busy, Hyde.
35:5120,000 people are marching
35:53to meet the funeral procession.
35:55What do they want?
35:57Oakey's body.
35:59Can you believe it?
36:01Charles has delivered justice
36:03but instead these ingrates
36:05are mourning the regicides.
36:07Well then, burn it.
36:09Toss it in the Thames.
36:12You'd better make love to it if you feel inclined.
36:14He'll put it in an unmarked grave
36:16and send in the troops
36:18to remind them who's boss.
36:20I would advise...
36:22If you can't solve any of my problems...
36:24Then what the hell's the point of you, Hyde?
36:42Maybe Hyde's your biggest problem.
36:48Troops easily dispel the mourners
36:50but Charles is feeling slighted.
36:52He decides to send a message
36:54to republicans everywhere
36:56by making an example
36:58of a prominent republican thinker.
37:02And he just happens to have
37:04the worst culprit under lock and key.
37:06How many opportunities
37:08have you had?
37:10How many opportunities have you had
37:12to renounce your critical words
37:14and save yourself, Henry?
37:16I lose count.
37:18Yeah.
37:20Henry Vane.
37:22Where do I start?
37:24His ideas gave intellectual cover
37:26to the murder of Charles I.
37:28Along with Edmund Ludlow
37:30he did more than anyone
37:32to stop Charles II returning to England.
37:34And now he continues to deny
37:36the king's right to rule.
37:39What is it you seek?
37:41I want to be free
37:43to live in a country
37:45where I can criticise my king.
37:47Then I fear you will not live much longer.
37:51Goodbye, Henry.
37:59When Charles arrested Vane
38:01he promised parliament
38:03that he wouldn't have him executed.
38:09What can I say?
38:11People change their minds.
38:13Look, ultimately
38:15kingship is about dignity.
38:17Vane insulted Charles' dignity
38:19and Charles gave him
38:21every opportunity to apologise.
38:35I have been unjust to you.
38:37I have been unjustly tried.
38:39And I'm answerable
38:41only to God.
38:43And in a final insult
38:45Charles orders
38:47his trumpeteers to drown out
38:49Vane's last words.
39:07You want to talk about murder?
39:09This is murder.
39:11There's no legal basis for this.
39:13The regicides killed Charles' father.
39:15Vane attacked Charles personally.
39:17How could he let him live?
39:19Henry Vane was a thinker.
39:21A non-violent man.
39:23He opposed the execution of Charles I
39:25for Christ's sake.
39:27Charles is now killing
39:29with impunity.
39:31He's a tyrant.
39:33As bad as his father. Or worse.
39:37People
39:39are outraged.
39:41Charles lied so
39:43brazenly to Parliament.
39:55These are
39:57treasonous.
39:59Today I saw Henry Vane
40:01executed at Tower Hill.
40:03Charles
40:05is as bad as any tyrant in Europe.
40:07Worse
40:09I fear.
40:11You have helped him
40:13every step of the way.
40:21It will take more than
40:23pamphlets to stop him.
40:35I shall always treasure this.
40:49Prynne won't debase himself further by
40:51supporting a king he no longer respects.
40:53Charles has lost
40:55his most ardent follower.
40:58Look, Charles
41:00isn't stupid.
41:02You can see his vendetta
41:04has spiralled.
41:06His enemies are uniting.
41:08The public have turned their backs on bloodshed.
41:10Charles has been wearing
41:12a mask but he's lost sight
41:14of who he really is.
41:16He's now wondering
41:18is he actually no better
41:20than his father?
41:24Well, Charles
41:26...
41:40Sydney vows
41:42to avenge his mentor.
41:44He writes,
41:46let there be revenge for the blood
41:48of the just.
41:50Charles has made
41:52a dangerous enemy in Sydney.
41:55He's given this young man
41:57in search of a purpose
41:59the ultimate
42:01destiny.
42:03Overthrowing a tyrant.
42:11Elizabeth's seen the country
42:13she loves sliding into violence.
42:15If she can get to Ludlow
42:17maybe, just maybe
42:19they can spark a
42:21revolution of ideas which could
42:23reshape the world as they know it.
42:35Ludlow has reached the safety
42:37of Switzerland in the republican stronghold
42:39of Vevey.
42:41He knows at any moment
42:43he might be discovered and killed.
42:53...
43:05If there's one bastard
43:07tough enough
43:09to topple Charles Stewart
43:11it's you.
43:13...
43:21The spot of hunting is in order
43:23regicides are in season.
43:27This is a gangland murder.
43:29Charles is out
43:31of his depth here.
43:33Great men don't ask for permission
43:35they take what they want
43:37and they get it.
43:43...
44:13...
