(classical music) - [Cromwell] Gardiner.
- [Gardiner] Late.
- [Cromwell] Me or your good self?
- You, he's waiting.
- The boatmen were drunk.
- I'm surprised you didn't take an oar yourself.
You grew up on the river, didn't you?
God bless you.
- Thanks.
(classical music) - Oh, the king sent for me this morning.
Exceptionally early.
- [Cromwell] What did he want?
- Pity.
A son.
The king wants a son.
18 years of marriage with no heir.
Now he's decided some sin must have been committed to cause this curse.
Where did you learn this?
- At the docks.
A little after I left home.
Earned a living from it for a while.
Everyone thought they could beat a child.
- What else should I know about you, monstrous servant?
(classical music)
