Heads are going to fall!!!

Sadly I'd start to watch it on second season, how all those dramatic happenings over Anne Boleyn always thrilled me due by historical interest, I'd began to follow this fine series, in this episode the Sir Thomas Cromwell makes the last attempt to get the oaths from the Sir Thomas More and jointly with Cardinal Fisher, also offers to King Henry VIII a middle course at least, fully reject by the unwavering King, all or nothing, who actually has afraid to set a dangerous precedent, that later could be costly, meanwhile Anne Boleyn fail on another pregnancy, The King Henry revenge at their humble citizen's wife, taking her at any moment, at last at public square Sir Thomas More and Cardinal Fisher faces their destiny at executioner's axe!!
