BBC world theater; 60; Don Carlos (Reel 3)

Didon had good odds the prince that I quote was behind because he just people see him. As if he's really done cos Who's that. The friend you. You have sold me. Oh that's good of you. I had a notion that Carlos might be needing his old friend. You thought that thought of me that touches me deep in my heart I knew that you still care. I have deserved that you should know it. Yes I knew that too. We understand

each other. Oh yes I know quite well how much you suffered victim and priest I know I understand as you prepared me for the sacrifice cutoffs sacrifice which I would contend. I know that you are complete the mighty work I was too weak to do and spared you shall have a golden age again but not through me through you. For when this fatal fated love destroyed me as God's instrument and yours and chance o God himself offered the king you bought him with my secret you did well for I could not be saved but space could be perhaps through Philip's feeling for you. So he has nothing to condemn in you or me except my dazzled folly that refuse to see that by betraying me my friend proved himself great indeed. No no no no. Never reckoned on this Miracle of loyalty that cloaks my plots

with its divine excusing. All I built collapses Karlos your heart. Had it been possible to spare the queen these miseries then Roderick you would have known what gratitude can say and do. But what's my weight against the general good forgive me. I'm just not only on this charge. If this reproaches then all of that so I should not stand before you as I do. Here are the letters which you trusted to me safe with you. I thought the king had read. And who told you that. You trust him and he told the truth the king has read your other letters yes.

But can you think he read the vital list you choose once more to make be able to be your confidant. Yes. The king has sent me to set you free. I am instructed to return yourself to express how gratified first time made prison in me why then I am set free again none tells me why. I understand your highness. That the King was for a while misled by what the king ordered my arrest when the king the king should make amends. I would not take my sword from any hand but if I may bring him to the king he will I'm very sure. No I stay here until the king himself. Or else the people free me from prison. As your Highness pleases. What's all this explain explain the long minutes no longer.

But how did you hear the plan succeeds. Thanks be to Him Who let the plan succeed. My whole life which I climbed to this divine moment of time. So I. Hope I never saw your eyes so bright. My last we must say goodbye. Starting but it's goodbye in my car those fools would say we part for ever. Let's Carlos my friend where are your thoughts. Come back and you will hear it. My interview in private with the King and how it went to the world. But that someone had betrayed you. That the Queen's desk had been rifled and your letters taken to the king that he himself told me that I was his confident.

Yes Carlos I hate. To let you fall until this point I'm blameless but I knew it. But partly that the case was delicate but I confess it partly out of pride singlehanded my boat. I did not tell you of my secret plans. That's where I overreached myself. It was a madness of self-confidence but based upon my confidence in you and your confidence in me. So when the queen was hurt and when officials lay out about told told tales of me I still said nothing. You would be lost to you would get you unable to think of nobody close by naked guilt for such it seemed to you in room and then abandoned by our only friend you would turn to Princess that devil. Trade you call us to the King and I were the king. I saw

you what her goal alarmed I followed to find you at her feet begging to see the queen that told her all oh no she pitied me went black. What could I do no help no way at all to say if you were able or you had heard the truth. She must not hear. But I drew my dagger Carlos cos I thought so I could trick the keeper if I could make him think that I myself was guilty. You would go free. What did you do. Sat down and wrote a letter to a friend among the rebels. Oh no I love the Queen. And now I had leave to visit her at will. That you had sought out able to bidding her warn the Queen against me then to stop your mines I had ordered your arrest to give me time to get away to process the letter I had dispatched not by the post context his head is all it has. Every letter is censored by the King of Texas no doubt it will do

his duty. Then I am lost. And why the kid will not endure to know that he's been to see you. Tell him I will wait. He must be told at once. By God my God I linger here and all the while the king gives orders to his killers. Let me have no loss when you played the whipping boy and save my skin was I so scrupulous and conscience ridden. Save yourself for Flanders. Truly is your affair to die for you. Is mine all wrong. He can't resist death both I'll bring you to him father. I should say father a friend did this to save a friend. He'll look at us and offer me for my father is not inhuman when he understands. Yes he will suffer then forgive us both. That man who was it called.

The king acts with glee. I had hoped for longer. Plus you're skinny you're too skinny. The queen has all in her hand. Columnist. I can. Not. Pay and I granted your requests. And come to free you. Rise. Saud come to your father's arms. You may love it there. I've come to touch back. I say fear not. He's safe from me as safe as Mark is on his folly.

God Himself has branded him look this is what he did. This man of blood. This is his masterpiece. With my gentleman here not for me. Are we not son father and await whatever the new enormity. He's new to a church forgotten murder is the word. Look here. Look murder was innocent until this hour. Is there no God in heaven. To toys so cutely it's all for you too you know what you have done. He'll never know this thief of life who stole away the beauty of the world who blotted out for ever in one man more treasures of the Spirit virtuous truth than he and all his century can show. If I get to rationally with him you should not judge me.

I defended you defended me. God still does not know. Oh tell him someone help this old wise fool to understand. This was my friend and he is dead because he died for me. It was yes you were fooled. You who know men so well. Youth was too quick for you and took you away and yes we were brothers. His whole life was love of me of all the world he died for love for while you played with him he played with you. You were a tool to use in his design for universal freedom. The idea of a prisoner is part of his design for when my fall a shattered it and once he planned to save me wrote that lie the first he ever did to his friends in Flanders then arrange that your doll I should read it. Thus he

flung himself on death to save me you whom you loved. You offered him your favor with your scepter for a toy. He flung them both aside. To die for me. He was so easily deceived by such. A thought him good enough to be your friend. But when he tested you were not good enough. No no our subtle code was not for you were. And he was not your man as well you knew when you rejected kingdoms Glory's powers and you you could not play upon that knew your iron fingers broke in spring training you could not use him. So you murdered him. So. This unnatural silence. We are here.
