| 01:15 - 01:17 | The Germans Promised me! |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | How dare the Germans lie to me! |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | Is this what it has come to? |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | Parliament has been lying to me. |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | Even the army and the navy! |

| 01:37 - 01:40 | Frederick and Maria Theresa are liars! |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | My King, the Royal Navy holds the Channel, and the Army will die for you. |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | What does it matter if the French are in London?! |

| 01:48 - 01:52 | The English are scum, the worst of humanity. |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | No sense of honour, they welcome the Pretenders. |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | I am the rightful King of Britain and Ireland... |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | ...Not the Jacobites, not the French, Spanish or Dutch, me! |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | The Germans promised me a Reichskriege after I gave up my Hannover. |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | The army, the navy, and the Whigs all failed me! |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | The Tories are all traitors! |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | What I would not give... |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | ...To have Marlborough here, he would not have failed me! |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | I never wanted Britain... |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | ...I wanted to be in my native Hannover. |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | My Hannover. |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | Traitors. |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | I have been betrayed and deceived from the start. |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | Such an enermous betrayal of Protestantism. |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | But all our enemies and traitors... |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | ...will pay in blood. |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | They will drown in their own blood! |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | The Scots are still loyal. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | All my orders have failed. |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | How can I be the King under these circumstances? |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | It is over. |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | The war is lost. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | But if you think this means I will surrender... |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | ...I would rather flee to the Thirteen Colonies. |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | Do your duty. |
