Pitt Warns Wilberforce About War, Explained：run with blood
Pitt visits his ailing friend Wilberforce, but the talk turns to war. France may declare war within the year, and Pitt warns that once it does, "opposition will soon be called sedition." Wilberforce answers with a question that cuts to the bone: by who? By you? The two old friends are on opposite sides now.
あらすじ
Wilberforce is gravely ill, and his old friend Pitt, now prime minister, comes to see him. Their reunion becomes an argument about the French Revolution and the coming war. Pitt refuses to push abolition while Paris is in chaos, and warns Wilberforce that wartime will turn ordinary opposition into something far more dangerous.

What's really going on
This is the friendship that runs under the whole film finally cracking over politics. Pitt is trying to protect Wilberforce and himself: with France at war and Paris in blood, anything that looks like dissent becomes dangerous. "Opposition will soon be called sedition," he warns, and the line is both a threat from the state and a plea from a friend. Wilberforce hears the threat, not the plea, and answers with two questions — "By who? By you?" The exchange also shows Pitt's own bind: he says the only man he would trust with the bill is Wilberforce, yet he asks him to wait. Their loyalty survives the fight, but the alliance that once carried abolition has to be put on hold.
Theme

The only man I would trust is you.Pitt's backhanded tribute to Wilberforce: he won't hand the fight to anyone else, yet he still asks him to wait instead of pushing ahead now.
I am warning you as your prime minister that when war comes, opposition will soon be called sedition!Pitt puts the power of the state behind his advice: once Britain is at war, political opposition will be branded treason. It's a warning and a thinly veiled threat.
I can't be seen to openly oppose the king when the streets of Paris run with blood.Pitt explains his caution: with the French Revolution turning violent, publicly defying the king would look like supporting revolution.
So you will keep your precious conscience intact and let the rest of us do the war's dirty work.Wilberforce's bitter counter: Pitt can stay morally pure while everyone else takes on the ugly tasks of war. It names the cost of Pitt's compromise.
