He murders a caricature of old William Cecil himself,

He on her belly falls

He simply believes he is your royal equal.

He still lives?

He tells the truth.

He wanted his grandson to be an earl.

He was a character.

He was born the son of a glove maker,

He was doing my bidding! Yours?

He was something

MARLOWE: Ben! Tell me. We can go to him together.

MARLOWE: Do what?

Marry you to his daughter, and after Elizabeth's death, proclaim you...

Marvelous, marvelous.

Marvelous.

My daughter is young and impressionable.

My father in law's men felt it quite seditious.

My father told me all his secrets. All of them.

My father took it and hid it.

My father's death has been a great loss for us all, Your Majesty.

My God, the main knows his villains. Not even the Greeks compare.

Nor any trail that leads back to you or the queen. The foster parents

Nor could he have predicted that you would commit incest.

Nor made to court an amorous looking glass.

Not a day too soon for Cecil!

Not in the playhouses of London,

Not in this household.

Not just Essex and Southampton.

Not literally, of course.

Not swords.

Nothing.

Now and forevermore as King James the First of England,

Now l think we should move on to the Punta Sopramano.

Now my tooth hurts.

Now? Yes, now.

Nowhere is bloody safe anymore, l'll tell you that.

O for a Muse of fire,

O me, what hast thou done?

O mistress mine,

O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright.

O, stay,

Of a stage conquered and a throne lost.

Of course he did. What was it about?

Of course it is.

Of course not. But l could if l wanted.

Of course, Your Majesty.

Of course! As soon as Robert told me you were ignoring my express orders

Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,

Of power and betrayal.

Off to Stratford, then.

OFFlCER: Open fire!

OFFlCER: To your positions!

Oh, and congratulations.

Oh, and have you ever tried?

Oh, he can read well enough. How else could he learn his lines?

Oh, no. This isn't a request, Ben. l'll have more money.

Oh, well, worry not. A one trick pony. He'll never do it again.

Oh, which would you prefer, Sir Robert Cecil? A pastoral?

Oh. Heh.

Oh. Ow!

On any stage.

On Monday.

On the 25th day of February in the year of our Lord,

On truth.

On what subject, Your Grace?

On your horses, everyone!

One does not cross my father in law lightly.

One was the procreation of children,

One way or another,

One you shall stage Bankside.

One, you will not acknowledge the child.

Only then is my mind quieted.

Only when l put their words, their voices, to parchment

Only Will Shakespeare can pump the life into Romeo's veins.

Ooh. l like this.

Ooh. Then you have to do it then, don't you?

Or an l?

Or l can bring you so much

Or manuscript.

Or may we cram within this wooden O,

Or Romeo?

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,

Or what? You'll slit my throat, like you did Kit's?

Or your plays

Our authority comes from Elizabeth and from God.

Our bruised arms hung up for monuments,

Our dreadful marches to delightful measures.

Our Shakespeare

Our Shakespeare, rise!

Our Shakespeare.

Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings,

So good night unto you all.

So it's a boy.

So let me offer you a different story.

Thank you. And it's all written in verse. Thank you.

That can kiss,

That dogs bark at me

That dogs bark at me

That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's Day!

That have dared on this unworthy scaffold

That is all we have to give at the moment.

That is rumor alone, Henry.

That is the question.

That is, of course, if Your Majesty so desires.

That only Essex can save lreland from revolt.

That plagued my soul.

That showed your betters as fools who would barely get food

That the one ought to have of the other in prosperity,

That would ascend the brightest heaven of invention,

That would ascend the brightest heaven of invention.

That you have but slumber'd here while these visions did appear.

That you...

That's a terrible bet, Ben!

That's power, Essex.

That's the smell of your theater going up in flames!

That's why l was arrested. Wasn't it?

The Act of Succession.

The applause, delight

The author of 37 plays,

The book?

The Cecils.

The cheering of the audience, the hands clapping,

The designs of a murderer, the pleas of his victims.

The Earl of Essex.

The Earl of Southampton, Your Majesty.

The Earl of Southampton? But with whom?

The flat unraised spirits

The foundling, of course, had to be reared a nobleman.

The French are bravely in their battles set

The glory Liar.

The grandson of Henry Vlll.

The herald just finished it about an hour ago.

The King of Spain, Mary, four French kings, eight popes,

The lady is pregnant.

The Lord Great Chamberlain of England, Viscount Bolebec,

The love l dedicate to your lordship is without end,

The maids love the romantic tragedies.

The measure done, l'll watch her place of stand,

The men!

The most beautiful of flowers, do you not think?

The most performed playwright of all time.

The name.

The Netherlands?

The other one?

The other one.

The perilous narrow ocean parts asunder.

The queen and l hope to make that so.

The queen has decided to release you.

The queen,

The realm lost a great man with your father's death.

The right man succeeds Elizabeth.

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

The son of Mary.

The stagecraft is quite spectacular.

The stench. He's done.

The sweet longings of a maiden, the surging ambitions of a courtier,

The theater is full!

The theater is full! There is no more room!

The tinkers, the cobblers, the bricklayers of London.

The Tower!

The Tragedy of King Richard the Third

The Tudor rose.

The very casques that:

The voices, Anne.

The voices, l can't stop them. They come to me.

The weather? Or the food?

The whole bloody thing in verse.

The women?

The women.

The wonder of our stage

Then cosmography with Dr. Richards. RlCHARDS: My lord.

Then take it,

There are reports of his sending financial aid, even troops.

There is a play to be performed

There is a...

There is more, Your Majesty.

There is no record of the true birth

These are my...

They all wanted me dead, but here l am,

They are to be beheaded.

They didn't sit there like the reptilia of court,

They do not wait to be taken.

They have already tried to kill you once.

They have not been very discreet.

They say Essex is in peace negotiations with Philip of Spain.

They say she's dying.

They say you're an earl as well.

They were destroyed.

They were more, uh, clear...

Thou wretched, rash, intruding fool, farewell!

Though he couldn't prevent the public theaters

Though he is my own advisor first, Your Majesty, my son second.

Though never so old,

Though our story is finished, our poet's is not.

Though the most fascinating

Though you never know with the Tudors.

Three, you will avoid court at all costs.

Thus endeth the brief career of one Ben Jonson.

Time does indeed, it seems, heal all wounds.

To be brought up in the fear and nurture of the Lord and faith of God.

To be the conscience of our times. The soul of the age.

To be the most celebrated playwright of his time,

To be, or not to be,

To beget is thy duty.

To bring forth so great an object:

To bring forth so great an object.

To ch change the world, not

To crown James of Scotland the next king?

To die, to sleep,

To die: to sleep, no more,

To Essex House!

To James? Elizabeth would never

To lreland.

To quell the Catholic rebellion.

To release you in my father in law's name.

To remind me of that beauty. That love.

To set my brother Clarence and the king...

To Shakespeare!

To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub.

To that end, l have the honor of introducing you to your tutors.

To the collected works of the man we call

To the queen! Hyah!

To your family's line of warriors.

Two cycles have passed, my lord.

Two thousand? Maybe more.

Two years is too long without such excellent amusements.

Two, you will never see the mother again.

Watch who you judge, Ben.

We are betrayed! Unh!

We are glad of your return from the continent.

We are not interested in your plays, Mr. Jonson.

We band of brothers.

We believe such activities to be the worship of false idols,

We can claim self defense.

We cannot maintain authority if we are laughingstocks!

We do what we have to to survive and survive well in this life. All of us.

We feel a terrible void without your father.

We few, we happy few,

We fought at Crecy, at Bosworth Field, at Agincourt.

We go as we are now.

We had seen some of this Shakespeare's plays

We hope not too soon, Your Majesty.

We hope you will be happy in our house.

We keep your noble head from the executioner's block.

We leave with the tide.

We must act quickly. We must replace the Lord Lieutenant of lreland,

We must arrest this Shakespeare and

We must discuss our daughter's dowry.

We must do as we have done before. You must go on progress,

We must yield!

We shall lose all of our royal licenses, our property!

We value his counsel greatly.

We very much liked your play tonight.

We would have protected you.

We yield!

We're interested in the plays given to you by Edward de Vere,

Well, heh, what in God's name is it?

Well, it wasn't all in verse.

Well, it's certainly big.

Well, off to Essex House, then.

Well, that will be expensive, keeping all the actors ready,

Well, then. We shall be earls together, shall we not?

Well, why not?

Well, you haven't got any ink.

When l hear the applause,

When l inherited my earldom,

When l return to London on Monday next. lt is decided.

When l sleep, when l wake, when l sup. When l walk down the hall.

When the relationship began.

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, must give us pause.

Where are the plays?

Where are you roaming?

Where did she go?

Where you may see the inmost part of you.

Where? There.

Whereof this pamphlet,

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer,

Which one, Your Majesty?

While l am with her, you will come not with an army or swords,

Whilst your husband put ink to paper.

Whither should l ride but to the court?

Who else should the queen turn to but Essex?

Who told you?

Who was that man? l've seen him here before.

Who?

Who's gonna pay me, then?

Whose great, great acting

Whose high, upreared and abutting fronts,

Whose labors l have so enjoyed.

Why did he work so hard to become your guardian after your father died?

Why do you think Will hasn't been arrested?

Why don't you disperse William Cecil's arse?

Why is Oxford's man with the groundlings?

Why must you continue to humiliate my family?

Why must you write?

Why would l lie?

Why, Lord Cecil, we may very well have found your replacement.

Why? Because the queen has bade it so.

Will be remembered solely because we had the honor to live

Will ever carry your name.

Will isn't even a writer.

Will Shakespeare! Hello, Ben.

Will Shakespeare.

Will Shakespeare. That is not ale in that goblet, is it?

Will you shut it down?

Will, he's part owner, and, uh...

Will!

Will?

William Cecil convinced the queen

William Shakespeare, however, spent the remainder of his days,

William Shakespeare.

William...

William...

Wipe his memory for all time.

Wisdom,

With cunning. With ruthlessness.

With King James of Scotland.

With their desires. When they want something, they take it.

With whom? l would recommend

Without a dowry becoming to the daughter of the Earl of Oxford.

Without a superfluous moiety.

Without direct order. Yes, my lord.

WlLLlAM: Essex's martial abilities are,

WlLLlAM: I cannot be certain, Your Majesty,

WlLLlAM: King Philip of Spain sees the current Catholic revolt in lreland

WlLLlAM: Murdered?!

WlLLlAM: Robert!

WlLLlAM: Tell me about this play.

WlLLlAM: Your whore gave birth last week.

WlTCHES: Double, double, toil and trouble.

WOMAN 1: l agree, my lord. My Lord of Southampton.

WOMAN 1: l'm asking why you thought you didn't have to be on time.

WOMAN 1: Most definitely.

WOMAN 1: That's the Earl of Oxford. OXFORD: Majesty.

WOMAN 2: Finally. God, come on.

WOMAN 2: Yes, and doesn't he look handsome?

WOMAN 3: l'd like to see his arse dispersed!

WOMAN: A curse on you, Robert Cecil!

WOMAN: Oh, Will, Will!

WOMAN: Thank you. Drink up, Francesco. Another one where that came from.

WOMAN: We'll follow you!

Wonderful theater. Wonderful.

Wonderful, wonderful.

Wondrous

Words will prevail with Elizabeth.

Words.

Words.

Would never have What?

Would rather bow to a Tudor, bastard though he may be, than a Scotsman.

Would you risk your throne for him? Hm?

Write something for us.

Writers do not have time to act.

Writing again.

Yeah. At last.

Yes, but which? You know, don't you, Ben?

Yes, master.

Yes, my lord.

Yes, Your Grace. Though not from me.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Yes! Freedom! Freedom!

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Why not? Why can't a man change the world with words?

Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

Yes. Yes, yes.

You

You alone watch my plays and know them as mine.

You already make more than any playwright Bankside.

You are Benjamin Jonson, playwright.

You are commissioning Englishmen to help fight their cause.

You are sure?

You are the sun, Majesty.

You as well.

You at least kept my name from him?

You came to me, Ben.

You came to me.

You can't get through the crowds. We've turned hundreds away.

You cannot have him.

You cannot play Romeo.

You caused this. Your play, your words.

You don't know,

You have been released.

You have never told me...

You have placed me in a grave position, Edward.

You haven't read it?

You informed on one of your own? To the Tower?

You know he's illiterate, don't you?

You know you need not ask.

You know your places.

You left the hump on.

You lie!

You look old.

You lot are about as funny as the plague.

You lying knave. You went to him. Can l get you a drink? Billy!

You may have betrayed me...

You mean Essex.

You must compensate with the gifts God did give you.

You must flee quickly, Majesty. He means to kill you

You must think more deeply, Robert.

You must've known she would go elsewhere.

You reported on me as well, didn't you, Kit?

You said you wished to become a great man of state.

You sound like one of your plays.

You suggest you be reimbursed the rest of my estate through your daughter's bed.

You think my name can be bought?

You went to him, didn't you?

You were losing anyway.

You will stay in England,

You will tell him that l am gravely ill, but that all is in hand.

You, um...

You, your family, even l,

You, your friends, your blasphemous theater

You? My loyal earls? Hm.

You...

You...

You...

You're certain of this? William Cecil was murdered.

You're neither the first nor the last of her lovers!

You're Puck.

You've had a poem published today.

Young, valiant and wise and no doubt right

Your father knew me as such.

Your father tells me you wrote this evening's play yourself.

Your Grace, he is already married.

Your head should be cut off, not his.

Your Majesty.

Your service to his lordship is once again greatly appreciated.

Your son is going to be killed...

Your sword!

Your thoughts that now must deck our kings.

Your true love's coming.

Your wife must be pleased to have you once more present at her side.

Your wit.
