Previously on "Reign"...

Husband? You can't have
found someone already?

We both know you just want
to be rid of me.

Greer, are you telling me that
lord castleroy is a protestant?

Yes.

Did you hire montgomery
to kill our father?

No, I did it myself.

I took montgomery's place.

Narcisse knows,
he's blackmailing me.

He has montgomery hidden
away somewhere.

This is no longer
just about you.

Mary and catherine planned
henry's murder

During private mass.

I spoke
to the attending priest,

And he told me all the details.

Conde: This is
the protestant minister

Whose church was burned down
by catholics.

I did come here
to beg for a new barn.

We have stolen gunpowder,
packed tightly and hidden.

Mary: When we didn't kill
their minister,

They did it themselves.

Man:
This the crown's doing.

Mary: This is what
the radicals wanted.

This is their bomb.

(sheep bleating)

Pierre...?

Pierre?

(clank, thud, man yells)

(startled shout)

(grunting with effort,
panting)

What do you want with me?

You're going to change
the face of France.

(fast tempo acoustic
intro playing)

♪ they all need something

♪ to hold on to,
they all mean well ♪

♪ you could never
feel my story ♪

♪ it's all you know... Oh!

♪

Ah.

Allow me.

For you and
your family.

And spread the word about
the feast of st. Nicholas.

It will go on as always
with gifts for the children,

Music and dancing,

And extra food
and provisions for winter.

This is just the start.

More supplies
will be coming.

Begging your majesty, but some
folks were scared to come today.

For those uneasy about
a public gathering,

My representatives
will come to your home

With food and supplies and
no discussion of your faith.

It is the season for
giving, not judging.

The minister hung, right there,

Beaten to death for asking
for a new church.

The crown did not murder your
minister, as I've said before.

I ask you to look ahead,
not backward,

And we will do the same.

Please.

We were
neighbors once,

Living side by side.

We can be again.

Thank you, cousin.

Your presence here means
a great deal,

Given our recent
disagreements.

My politics have left you
more aligned with mary.

At least today, we're united,

To stop France from
tearing itself in half.

I wonder if we can.

Guard:
Your majesty,

Your brother sebastian asks
you return to the castle.

Lively, skipping steps.

Ladies, you haven't
been practicing.

Oh, let's...

Let's take a break,
shall we?

(laughing)

Was that supposed to
be the tarantella?

Princess claude.

It's a new dance.
From Spain.

I would have invited
you to the lesson,

But seeing as you don't respond
to any of my invitations...

Your invitations?

To tea, for riding,

Perhaps a simple thank you
for the tiara I sent you?

The servants get worse
every year.

I swear they forget
I live here now.

But here I am.

And I need all three of you,
desperately.

What do you know
about lord narcisse?

Really? Is it that bad?

Fantastic.

What is he, a whore chaser?

Uh, we cannot
speak to that.

Well, what kind of woman does
narcisse enjoy?

Well, you can't be
asking for yourself.

We can speak to the fact that
he kept his last wife in a cage.

A cage? For punishment,
or for erotic purposes?

Claude, lord narcisse is
completely unsuitable for you.

He's schemer, a liar,
and he's dangerous.

Perfect.

Mother's been foisting me
on boring suitors

Utterly beneath me.

An affair.

A very public, juicy affair,

With a notorious old
man would obliterate

Any chance she has
of marrying me off.

Mary: Catherine would
have you shackled,

Bound and thrown into the sea.

As to these
other suitors,

Why would catherine
want you to wed

Beneath your station?

Who you marry, it's
a strategic alliance for France.

Claude: The only alliance
I'm interested in is

Temporary, delicious, in bed.

Francis...

If this is about the village
this morning,

I didn't ask you because
things there are still tense.

Things are tense
across France,

But I have an idea,
so hear me out, please.

What if your sister
claude married condé?

Marry a royal to one

Of the most prominent
protestants in the country?

Yes.

An interfaith marriage.

In your family.

It sends a message.

It certainly does.

Marriages have been making
alliances for centuries.

It's a custom the
people understand.

By bringing condé
into your family,

You exemplify
acceptance, tolerance,

People living
together in peace.

I can't.

The nobles will rise against me.

The marriage won't confer any
real power on the protestants,

But it would be
a balm to them.

Insurance from them
rising up against you.

Against us.

I'm sorry, my answer...

Is no.
As I knew it would be.

You have fallen
completely to the nobles.

But I had to try.

Francis: You said there was
a development with narcisse.

Did you find
montgomery?

No, but I'm hoping the
man inside can help.

It's father michael, the
priest catherine was going

To use to
poison henry.

The one narcisse was hiding
to use against us.

Please, your grace,

I've been a loyal servant
to your queen mother for years.

Ask her.

Narcisse threatened
my parents and sister

If I didn't do what he said.

You mean stand ready to indict
queen mary and my mother

Of attempted regicide?

(quietly):
Yes.

Father michael, do you know
where lord narcisse was keeping

Another hostage--
lord montgomery?

No, the only man I saw, rather
than the guard, was balfont.

Narcisse's man.
He brought food

And checked on me
every two or three days.

I did hear balfont say once,

Because the guard was
sick of watching me,

That the man who was guarding
montgomery had it much worse.

Balfont also checked
on montgomery?

He seemed to be
in charge of us.

When is balfont due
to visit you next?

He came two days ago.

So, perhaps today,
or tomorrow.

When balfont sees
that father michael's missing,

He'll run straight to narcisse.

Balfont could be on his way
to the farmhouse now.

Narcisse will know that we're
eliminating his witnesses.

And play his hand by
bringing montgomery

To court to accuse
you of regicide.

We have to find
montgomery.

There's no turning
back now.

I have to get out
from underneath narcisse.

I've lost control
of my country,

And my own wife
can hardly look at me.

I'll have
balfont followed.

Or we capture and torture him

Till he reveals
montgomery's location.

No, we can't be sure
that he'll talk.

And narcisse will miss him.

Narcisse will order balfont
to fetch montgomery.

We follow balfont.

It's a dangerous play.

For all his threats, narcisse
might not want you gone.

Your successor could
be worse in his mind.

Then I'll have to push him.

And I know just how.

Francis:
Mary...

I've changed my mind
about claude and condé.

You were right.

The marriage is a good option,
a viable path towards peace.

We'll announce
their engagement tonight

At the st. Nicholas feast.

Well, what
about the nobles?

I'll deal with the nobles.

Using your argument
that a stable France,

Cheaply bought with a marriage,
benefits them most of all.

I'm afraid
to believe you.

You've been so erratic lately,
as you are now.

Please speak with
claude and condé.

I could force
their engagement,

But it would hardly engender
good will, on either side.

Don't go back
on your word, francis.

I'm trusting you.

Don't give me hope
for France, for us,

And then take it away again.

Mary: It's strange--
though you never set out to be,

You are the most visible
protestant leader in France.

You're a noble,
and a prince of the blood.

They look up
to you, louis.

Now I feel a creeping
sense of unease.

Because you've come
to know me.

I ask for things.

And I am asking you
if you would become

A symbol
for all of France.

Would you consider marrying
the princess claude?

You're serious.

You and francis?

Yes, francis has agreed.

Your marriage would help ease
religious violence and distrust.

The realm seems calm now,
but that's only

Because those who have been
beaten down are terrified.

We must do
something now.

Claude is not my choice
of an ideal wife--

She's young, and I admit I
haven't met her officially,

But I've heard enough
to know she's a terror.

Yes, you prefer
your women more mature.

And married.

Ever since I converted,

My brother, the king of navarre,
has been in negotiations

For me to marry a
protestant duchess.

But you'd be marrying into
the royal family-- a princess.

It's a far superior alliance
for him to make.

And have you even met
this duchess?

She could be worse.

I didn't fully agree
to her, either.

Louis, we've been given so much,
just by birth.

And I know that
I'm asking you to give up

Something enormous in return.

But if it saved lives,

Changed France,
and possibly

Brought you happiness with a
spirited, beautiful princess...

Isn't it worth considering?

You know you could
sell the ocean

A cup of water, don't you?

Are you saying...?

Yes, I'll do it.

I'll marry claude.

This will change everything.

I'll be your
brother-in-law.

Living at court,

A part of your
family, forever.

Our children will grow up
side by side.

The times we have
banded together,

You have been a brave--
a very brave--

Like-minded friend.

Which is why we will
be overjoyed

To bring you
into our lives.

Both mine and francis's.

So when do I meet
my future wife?

Who are you
to arrange my future?

I don't need a husband.

I already have a mother
to make me miserable.

Condé would hardly
make you miserable.

He's young, dashing, rich,

Powerful--
the list goes on.

At least meet him before
you dismiss him out of hand.

He sounds like
a charming pair of shackles.

Claude, in this moment,

The very future of France
rests in your hands.

Oh, then we are in dire,
dire circumstances.

Oh, sweet lord.
Claude:
Incredible.

The merest whiff of marriage
brings you running.

Like a bloodhound.

One needs to be quick
to keep track of you.

I will not have
a protestant,

Let alone a bourbon,
marry claude.

Lord condé could make a claim
to the throne--

He has royal blood of his own.

Condé will never rule.

And I will never marry him.

Oh, hallelujah!

We're
in agreement.

This may be a bona fide miracle.

Stop. The truth is,

If the king wants
this marriage to happen,

It wilhappen.

Tell the king--

My brother--
that I am not a brood mare

To be bartered and sold.

By any of you.

Catherine, help me.

It's a good marriage.

You've been dying
to marry claude off.

Condé is a protestant,
yes, but he's rich,

And his brother is a king.

He resides here now.
At the moment, yes.

Then he solves
nothing for me.

Claude will only be happy
away from the castle.

And why is that?

She is my daughter.

It is my right and duty
to map her life.

Uh, if you ever

Have children,
you'll understand that.

Do not lay a hand on her future.

In all our ventures
together,

I've never seen
your husband so happy.

There's a light in his eyes
that clearly you put there.

He is a charmer.

What's happening
with the school?

Did my funding
help it complete?

Jacob: Hugo, can you
update us all?

Hugo's our money man.

He's been on top of some issues

With the construction.
Hugo:
Yes.

Fighting in chambord
delayed the materials.

We're working
on another route.
I'm sorry,

Am I to understand you're
financing this movement?

Building a school, dear.

In an under-serviced
region.

And I...
I'm merely one of the donors.

Lily: It feels good
to be involved.

Can I share with you
some of our other projects?

I'd like that.

But first, let me show you
the gardens you were

Asking about.

This luncheon is
about a bit more

Than meeting your friends,
isn't it?

You're trying to convert me.
I was hoping
if you saw

How much good work we do,
how reasonable they are...

I'd come to your side?
Well, that's
just it,

I don't want there to be sides.

I want us to be together,
in all things.

♪

Very nice.

I see mary's point now.

She sent you to woo me,
didn't she?

Yes.
How's it going so far?

Hard to say.

Tell me this:

Do you always do mary's bidding?

Or does your ambition
spark this desire
for a royal marriage?

Are you in need
of money? Lands?

I have vast holdings,
and I am well...

Endowed?
(wry laugh)

Provided for--

Through my family
and my own enterprises.

Oh.

Well, I haven't
seen your... Region...

But I assume it's satisfying.

That is the popular view.

Of your many lovers,
that's right.

I hear you are

Quite the ruiner
of noble married women.

That is slander.

They returned to
their husbands in...

Finer spirits than when
they went on holiday.

And would you
break their hearts,

Or keep them warm and
waiting on the side,

If we did marry?

Would I be able
to have lovers, too?

Ideally, no.

To us both.

I know it's awkward--
we've been tossed together,

The would-be saviors
of France-- but...

We can take our time.

Even after marriage,
I wouldn't force you...

Why downplay the only
remotely interesting
thing about this union?

Why, indeed.

But it's not
the only interesting thing.

If we do wed, and we
dislike each other,

We could find a way to...
Be free but married.

Or perhaps we'll find
that in each other

There's someone we're
willing to be tethered to.

(door opens)

I've just learned
that you have given

Consent to your sister's
marriage to condé.

Have you lost your mind?

Can't you work with me,
for once?

France is on the verge
of a revolt.

You are wrong.
All is quiet.

(scoffs)
you've cracked
a few skulls--

A painful method
of instilling order,

But one that
has worked.

When push comes to
shove, people will

Trade their faith
for survival.
No, I don't trust

That it's over.

I was in the midst of that riot.

I saw stones thrown,
frenchmen attacking frenchmen.

People died! I...

I haven't slept in days.

My sister's marriage
may not be enough.

I may have to reverse the edict,

Or issue a new one
protecting protestants.

You do not seem yourself,
my king.

That is because I am your king,
not my own.

I can't do
this anymore.

I won't.

If you allow this marriage

To go ahead, I will
remove you from the throne.

Have you forgotten
what I can do to you,

What I know about you?

I can't live like this anymore!

And what of mary...

And your line?

I can't think about that.

They'll survive.

Somehow.

Or perhaps we are all doomed
by my mistakes.

Francis... You said yourself
you haven't slept in days.

Perhaps what you
need now is rest.

Oh... Now you care
about my health?

All I am saying is that you need
not make any decisions today.

There are no
crises looming

Except that those you create.

Leave me.

I will not have you
hissing in my ear.

Let me be, let me rest.

(softly):
Yes.

You think
he was convinced?

I'm not sure I want you
to be king anymore.

(bash laughing quietly)
good.

Then he'll move
to take my head.

Claude: I'm not sure
it's safe to let you

In my chambers
without a chaperone.

You're not safe.

But not because of me.

Do you realize

What will happen if you go ahead

With this marriage to condé?

You've made friends at court.
You'll be

Nothing less than a test

To see if a mixed union
can survive without one

Or both of you
being assassinated.

And why such concern

For me?

We've only just met.

Oh, don't be coy.

You've already
used me once

To get out
of marrying a suitor.

And there have been
the glances between us.

A look is not a purchase.
Marry me.

Elope with me now

Before anyone can stop us--
it will save your life.

And raise your station.

Marry me...

Or your brother will force you
to marry condé.

No one forces me to do anything.

As king,
he trumps us all.

But if we were to wed...

We would forge a bond...

That only the vatican
could break.

So many suitors...

And lord condé is so young.

Go on.

And handsome.

And well positioned.

And worth being
assassinated for?

If you want something
to die for,

I can give it to you.

(sighs)

I'll think about it.

As I trust you
will think about me.

You may go.

Claude:
Why are you sacrificing me
for an alliance

With protestants?
Why does lord narcisse

Care more about my welfare
than my own brother?
Claude, as royals,

We are all at risk
every day.

But your marriage to condé
could bring peace to France.

I care about me,
not France.

That's your job.

Please listen to me.

Narcisse is trying
to scare you,

To serve his own purposes.
Do you really think

He cares
whether you live or die?

He did offer
to marry me himself,

So he could attach himself
to the royal line.

Of course he did.

Claude, as your king,
I could order you

To marry condé, however
I am urging you to do it

As a member of this family.

I'm asking you
to step forward in a way

You never had to,
never been asked to.

For years, you have
been writing me letters

Saying you felt
you had no real place

Among your own blood.

You want to be accepted,

Respected--
this is your chance
I do.

This is your time...
To fulfill your duty,

Your destiny as a valois.

I'm asking you
to do it for me--
the one person

Who has accepted
and protected you

No matter how far
you transgressed.

Go to narcisse now,

Turn down his proposal.

I'm marrying condé.

But thanks anyway for
your selfless offer.

Are you prepared to die
for this marriage?

At least my family

Will cry at my funeral.

Get lord montgomery,
bring him here to the castle.

We are pressing
regicide charges today.

Francis is crumbling
under the pressure.

He's defiant but defeated.

He needs to go before he makes
decisions that I cannot reverse.

You think catherine
will be regent?
Most likely.

It's not ideal,

But she is a staunch catholic,

And she'll be mourning
the loss of her son,

Scrambling to prepare
a child for the throne.

So she'll need help.

She'll need me.

Now, go.

Narcisse has met
with balfont.

Why aren't you
following him?

I had the stable hands delay
balfont's horse to give us time.

I'm coming with you
to get montgomery.

You'll need help
against balfont, and
no one else can know

That montgomery's
being held, ready to
be brought against me.

I should argue against it
for your safety,

But we have one chance
and we cannot fail.

If we fail, remember...

I'll get mary to the safe house
and out of the country.

She can never return
to France or scotland.

Mary will never be found.

She'll live the rest
of her life in exile,
in anonymity.

But she'll live--

And my death
would be worth it.

Mary...

Francis.

Mary, I love you.

You do know that,
no matter what I've done.

What's happened?

Nothing.

It's just the season.

Makes one take stock
of the year.

Well, then,
let's enjoy the season.

Shall we get ready
for the feast together?

There are a few things
I have to take care of first.

But don't worry.

All is well.

All right then.

Mary, wait a minute-- I know
you're still angry but...

Let me look at you.

Enough?

Not nearly.

♪

(elegant music playing)

Presents
for the servants.

How progressive.

Hmm. You have no idea.

Oh, I'm afraid I do.

The engagement will be announced
tonight, will it not?

The plan to mix your blood line
with protestants. Bourbons.

I did what I could
to stop it.
I heard.

Stay away from my daughter.

You cannot support
this engagement.

Do I look pleased?
But I am not king.

Pity. You would have
made a good one.

To what might have been.

Hmm.

Have you seen francis?

Bash said they'd gone
into town.

The vatican heard rumors
of the engagement,

So francis is doing his best
to smooth things over.

So that's where he went.

I'm amazed to hear francis
approved the engagement.

So was I.

I'm proud of him.

It's too quiet, too calm.

Mary, it's peace...

Hard-earned,
after all the strife.

Can't help but wonder
how long it'll last.

You are such a
lovely dancer.

(both laugh quietly)

We've fallen in step
with each other,

But someone must lead the way,
and you're good at that.

And I trust you.

Otherwise, I wouldn't
have married you.

Are you considering converting?

I am.

I think it's better
for your children,

For our home, if we are united,
even if the country is divided.

I think we should leave.

No one heard us.

I want to take you home

And add to our undivided family.

(laughs)

Man:
Wheat and mill over here,

Dried meats there,

Woolens and tools
round that corner.

Is that everything?

From this round of supplies.

Then go back to court
and pick up the next.

Mind the blood-- we'll need
the uniform. Hurry now!

(whistles)
let's get to the carriage!

Hurry! Hurry!

I'm going to announce
your engagement.

Well, where's francis?
Why isn't he here?

He's gone with bash to soothe
relations with the vatican.

Well, shouldn't we wait?

Do you think
he'll change his mind?

I don't think so, not this time.

I know that you've lost faith
in him,

And I told him that I had, too,

But the truth is

I love him,

And no matter what he does,
I believe in him.

They say
that marriage is like a promise,

And it is that,

But the best ones
are based on certainty.

An inexplicable faith
in someone else.

Ladies and gentlemen
of the court,

I have an announcement to make.

With the king's blessing,

It is my honor
to announce the engagement

Of his beloved sister,

The princess claude,
to louis, the prince of condé.

Their union will be eternal,

And their love
unbreakable.

Wish them well.

(crowd murmuring)

Ah. Short and sweet.

Like forcing food
down a duck's throat

To make fois gras.

One can barely hear

The sound of people
choking on the news.

(crickets chirping)

(grunting)

(groaning)

Francis:
Lord montgomery.

Do you know who I am?

Yes.

What do you
want with me?

Have you come here to free me?

I'm sorry
that you've been imprisoned

For so many months,

But it's not your freedom
I'm here for.

It's mine.

Where's reynaud?

I thought he was driving.

Reynaud's back at the village
with a girl.

Giving her more than a blanket
to keep her warm, I expect.

(chuckles)

(gate creaks open)

(gate squeaking)

Are you ready to kill a king?

I'm leaving tonight.

Follow tomorrow
with the carriage

But not until tomorrow.
Do you understand?

It isn't urgent?
It's urgent that I get
some distance from her.

This says I killed the king.

I was already
pardoned for this.

This grants you my pardon,
as I am now king,

But it requires your confession.

Bash: You said narcisse
had you kidnapped.

Surely,
he must have visited you,

Talked with you.
Do you know why

You were kidnapped?

No.

Bash:
Narcisse said

You had conversations about
who really killed the king.

It says right
there I did.

He's lying. I don't
know why he took me.

I didn't ask.

He knows.

I don't know anything.

And I don't care.

I don't care how
kings become kings.

I hated your father, too.

(grunting)

(sighs)

Guards, what's happening?
What's wrong?

An intruder was seen
outside the portcullis.

We're just checking
on your majesty.

(mary gasps, screams)

Call for help, and I will slit
your catholic throat.

Do you understand?

Your guards are dead.

Where is your husband?

I don't know where he is.

And few places
he spends his evenings.

Don't scream, and if he walks
through the door,

You might just live long enough
to watch him die.

Another dead for my crimes.

Stop blaming yourself and
take back what's yours--

Your country.

Mary...

You can tell her
the truth now.

Narcisse has nothing
on either of you.

Nothing he can prove,
not anymore.

I'll stay here and
clean this mess up.

Go home to your wife,
and then kill narcisse.

Run him through for
treason against his king.

It's taking too long.

Your men may have been caught.

They could be coming for you,
right now, without warning.

Shut up.
If you have as many men
as you say you do,

The halls should be filled
with the sounds of battle.

It's the dead of night.
All your guards see is

Their own coming until they're
cut down. They'll find him.

Francis isn't here.
He visits his bastard son
late at night, we know that.

He isn't here.

Your mission has failed,

And you will die.

If you leave now,

Even if you
are caught,

I will spare your lives.

One of the grooms swore the king
left the castle earlier.

He could be lying.

I'm telling you,
we've looked as long as we dare.

Burrell's been killed,

One of the king's guards
may have survived.

We are leaving now.

We killed all the
other witnesses.

Kill her before she can scream.

(gasps quietly)
I'll do it.

Don't-- no wrong that we have
committed against your people

Will be remedied this night.

(mary groans)

Don't speak to me of wrongs
done-- you murdered my son,

You and your husband.

Hung him upside down on a cross,
like something evil,

And he, my boy, a man of god.

Your son was the minister.

Severin...?

Severin.

She's a queen.

Aye, she doesn't look like

A queen now, does she?

(mary grunting)

You took my son,

You destroyed my family,
you destroyed me.

He said he had a bomb.

It was your people
who killed him.

Gerard, no!
(mary screams)

Desecrated him
in the town square.
(muffled screaming)

You shall know desecration.

You, who claim to
be anointed by god,

You godless bitch.

Hold her down,
hold her down!

(screams, grunts)

(gasps)

(grunting)

(slow, distorted grunt)

(slow exhale)

(gasps, coughs)
(bell tolling rapidly)

(shouts in pain)

(bell tolling)
guard: They're in
the north keep!

Stop.

Guard:
My god, it's the queen.

Get back to your posts.

(guards shouting in distance)

The queen will be with me.

Mary, where is francis?

Do you know?

Uh, they said that
he wasn't in the castle--

That he wasn't
here at all--

And when they realized
that they'd failed,

That's when they...

Oh, my dear child.

No! Uh...

No.

What did they do to you?

The protestants came looking
for francis.

And they were
going to kill him.

I fought them off--
I hit one of them in the head

And the other one...

I'm only going to ask
you this once,

So we are both clear

On what you've
endured this night.

Were you raped?

I know you don't want to be
touched, that's all right.

But you're safe.

I don't know how you managed
to escape, but you did.

You are alive.
(sobbing)

You will survive this.

I know this...

Because I survived.

You know that, too.

They tried to destroy you
by taking your pride

And your strength, but those
things cannot be taken.

Not from you.

Not ever.

We're going to change your
clothes, fix your hair,

We are going to erase any mark
of their hands on you.

Please, leave me be.
We are.

We are going to do this for you

And for francis

And for scotland and for France.

They tried to diminish
a king tonight

By degrading a queen,
and they will not succeed.

Because the world will never
know what they did to you.

That's not possible.
It is, because
you will

Walk out of here and you will
face your court as if this

Never happened.
No, I can't. I can't.

Yes, you can.

You have to.

Mary, your guards saw you.

You must put to rest
any rumors, immediately.

These next moments of your life
will either define you

As a victim
or a powerful queen

Untouched by a failed
assassination attempt.

They will define

Who you are
perceived to be.

Your place in history.

Do not let them win.

Trust me.

Trust me and let me help you.

Trust that I can get
you through this,

Because I swear to you
that I can.

Jacob, you say?

What could he want
in the middle of the night?

Leave us.

Aloysius,
lady castleroy,

Something terrible
has happened.

Assassins managed
to enter the castle.

The king and queen
are safe, I'm told,

But others were
killed--

Guards, servants.

Assassins.

Protestant assassins?

Yes.
Who else was hurt? Tell me.

I don't know.

The kingsguards
are pulling known

And suspected protestants
from their beds.

My wife and
children are safe,

But we need
your help-- funds--

To get away for a time.

Did you do this?

Are you planning
a revolution,

For all your talk
of god and peace?

No, I swear to you both,
it was some rogue faction.

I knew nothing of it until
I was warned of the search

For the guilty, but I will be
held accountable.

I think you are accountable.
I've looked into

A few things
since you were here.

I hadn't heard
of any fighting in chambord,

Because, as I learned,
there was none.

There was no delay
of materials.

The money I gave you was
never going to build a school.

Is this true?

Where did that money go?

And all the other donations
I entrusted you with?

The news you gave me
of delays,

The fighting.
I had no choice.

They threatened me,
my family.

They said a school wasn't what
we needed, assassins were--

The house of valois toppled,
a brutal reign ended.

Jacob:
Who threatened you?
Was it le clerc?

Fontaine?
That I can't say--
they'll kill me.

Aloysius, no.

Tell me we didn't

Fund an assassination
on our king.

Still no word from balfont?

None yet, my lord.

And where is the king?
At a secure location,

The guards are saying.
They must have

Moved him the second
the alarms sounded.

They say it was protestants

Wearing stolen uniforms
of the guards.

Well, it seems they
killed anyone who saw them

As they moved
through the castle.

Well, at least the engagement

Will surely be off.

Things can remain...
As they were.

Where did the protestants
get the nerve?

Surely they know
they will all be targets now?

Crushed with such force.

Well, th-they were being
crushed anyway, weren't they?

I suppose they thought
they had little to lose.

(horn plays fanfare
in distance)

♪ take control of who you are

♪ stay the same

♪ don't let them change you

♪ take control of who you are

My loyal subjects...

I reassure you that your king

And your queen remain untouched.

(murmurs of relief)

These murderous traitors

Who invaded the castle tonight
have achieved nothing,

Have altered nothing,

And will die for nothing.

♪ take control of who you are.

(knocking on door)

Come in.

I'm sorry, lady lola, but...

Lord narcisse insisted

That I ask if you would
speak to him.

Uh, it's all right, thank you.

(baby fusses)
shh.

I wanted to see
how you were feeling.

If you were all right.

The protestants came,
just as you warned.

I'm sure they would've
killed mary and francis,

If they could have.

Who knows where
they would've stopped.

I take no pleasure
in being right.

Especially as I may have been

Wrong about other issues.

What happened

Tonight was reckless.

It was the act
of a people

Who feel that they have
nothing to lose.

To rob people of hope

Is a dangerous mistake,

And I suspect
it may have been my doing.

Through your pressure
on francis.

I fear this nation is burning

And I am the man
who lit the match.

Oh, perhaps I overvalue

My role in the matter.

You control a king.

I'd say you're being accurate.

Yes.

You betrayed me,

You called me an enemy of
those you hold dear, and yet

When there was danger tonight,

My worry was for you.

I think about you.

I think about you still.

I want to sleep
but I can't stop shaking.

I'm so cold.

It's the shock of
the night's events.

(sighs with relief)
it's true.

You're all right,

Thank god.
Slowly.

Just give her time and space,

And all you need
to do is listen.

Shall I go?

They said... That the guards

Outside our chambers
were killed,

But the assassins
never made it in,

That you were untouched.

I lied.

Catherine lied.

So no one would know.

I was raped.

Please don't
come any closer.

I can't bear it--
I can hardly

Bear to have you to look at me.

Mary...

You are my life

And I love you.

And this is my fault.

Because you weren't here?

Because you were doing all

You could to sway the
vatican towards tolerance,

Because, finally,

We were as one?

Francis, you can't
blame yourself.

You're wrong.

Please, don't talk.

It hurts to speak...

To think about it,

To try and make
any sense of it at all.

Find them, francis.

Find the men who did
this to me and kill them.
