Previously on "Reign"...
Leith: I don't care

What they say.
I want you.

Bash:
How did you heal

That woman's son?

I laid hands on him.

Mary: I have hired an agent
to gather intelligence for me.

I need to know
which harbors are safe to land

In scotland and which areas
have not been infiltrated

By elizabeth's troops.

I will go to
scotland with you.

You may remain at court
with Condé with my protection.

Francis has had a change
of heart. He's not going
to stand in our way.

When this is over, you will be
running for your life.

Be sensible.
Meet with elizabeth's envoy.

Build a future controlled
by you.

Nostradamus:
I saw your son's future.

His union with mary.
She will cost francis his life.

You there.

What's your rush?

Tell me your name.
Collins.

You were cheated back
there at the card table,

But I think you knew that.
I've never had luck
on my side.

You'd think it'd stop me from
betting on cards, but, uh...

What business do you
have in le havre,

Mr. Collins?

A port town of this size,

Surely you see your share
of outsiders.

We do. Most of them

More than happy
to submit to my questions.

(grunting)

(muffled shouting)

(shouting stops)

And what news do you bring us...

From mary, queen of scots?

(fast tempo acoustic

they all mean well ♪

feel my story ♪

♪ it's all you know... Oh!

♪

Forgive the sins of my body,
o lord,

As they give my heart
the strength it needs to heal.

Conde:
Were you followed?

No. But it's getting harder
to find moments

When no one's watching.

I tried to get away
from the girl who brings

My breakfast by telling her
I had a cold.

Now the kitchen has me
on a steady diet of plain broth

And foul-smelling herbs.

The lies are piling up.
They are.

For me, too.

But you're here now.

Promise me you'll be careful.
Bash: You don't need
to worry about me.

Not anymore.
That's a wife's duty.

I am still your wife.

Perhaps in name only, but I will
always worry for your safety.

That's the last of it.
While I'm gone, I'll have
the rest of my things

Brought to the commander's
quarters in the south keep.
I can set up

Your rooms for you.
Make them nice.

Uh, kenna, I have something that
I wanted to talk to you about.

Promise me...

You will resist the urge
to annul our union.

Why would I?
For another.

Bash,

Apart from you,
I've only been lied to

And betrayed by men.
Who want you.

They always do.

Kings and everyday bastards
alike.

You prefer kings.

Bash.
Eventually a man
will come along

With enough power to
make you feel safe.

But until then, you or any woman
is better off wed.

Allow my name
to protect you.

I will.

I'm not the man for you.

The lies, the hiding.

Must be consumed by images

sooner rather than later.

We are leaving.
Your agent ridley and his men

Are set to land in scotland
in one week.

With his help, we'll know
for sure if buckhaven

Is a safe port of entry
under catholic control.
And your men

Are prepared to accompany us?
They wait only

For my word.

♪ oh, who's gonna save me now?

Promise me that when the day
comes, we'll get on that boat

And you'll leave
all this behind.

Yes.

For my country and for you.

Mary, we're so close.

Good morning.

Catherine, good morning.

Mary?

Oh, you look flushed.

Are you feverish?
I'm sure it will pass.

Thank you for your concern.

Find out

How many times our pious queen
has taken

Her morning prayers in
the chapel this week.

Without arousing suspicion.

Advisor:
Though our forces have had

Great success
in tamping down extremists,

I'm afraid
the few remaining only

Grow more militant.

I would like
to divert more forces

To rouen and la rochelle.

Why?

Rouen is teeming
with protestants,

But their protests
remain largely peaceful.

Uh, the king would prefer
a thorough review of the subject

Before making a decision.

What is it?

A hospitality matter.

The duke and duchess of berry

Have arrived
and with them something

Of a panic among the servants.

You'll excuse me?

(clears throat)
out.

Now.

Why are you so distracted?

This isn't like you.

This needs your attention.

Where is your head?

No one knows or understands
better than me

What went wrong
in your marriage.

And mary has been through

Considerable trauma.

But prince Condé
lingers at court

With no pressing reason
to be here.

He is our cousin and negotiates
for his region at court.

He harbors feelings
for your wife.

Your recently separated wife.
Oh, careful, mother.

You need to be careful.
I've been watching mary.

She's visited the chapel four
times in the last five days.

Do you know what would happen
to them if they got caught?

Mary's infidelity
calls into question

Our alliance with scotland,

It weakens you in the eyes
of elizabeth

And your enemies abroad.

There are nobles here

Who would call for her head.

Mary has always been
honest with me.

(laughs)
despite the distance
between us.

She has no interest in Condé.

She is loyal.

To me and to France.
(murmurs)

Not another word
of this nonsense.

Not to mary or to anyone.

Certainly that
trauma you refer to

Has earned her respite from
your petty allegations.

Servant:
Some refreshment,

Lord burgess?

As expected, queen elizabeth

Was pleased to learn
of your eagerness

To foster a marriage alliance.

Hmm. Well, eagerness aside,

I am willing to wait patiently
for her decision.

I would never want
the queen of England

To think I'm rushing her.
You're not.

Her majesty wants to
make your acquaintance.

We sail for England in two days.

A trip to England this soon

Is not what I'd expected.
Mm, well,

Elizabeth's advisors
have convinced her

It's in her best interest
to settle on a husband

Without delay.

Now, a young woman ruling

Without a man to
turn to for answers?

To govern her in turn?

It's unnatural
and worrisome

For England's nobles.

Prince Condé?

To an objective observer,
it would seem

That you're stalling for time.

Not at all.

But we would need

Time to settle terms.

What lands I'd be gifted,
what...

"terms"?

The terms here are simple.

To be considered as the next
king consort of England,

Queen elizabeth would
like to lay eyes on you.

One's physical attributes

Are of some importance
to her majesty.

Then send her my portrait.

Hmm. You will sail with me

In two days' time...

Or give up

Any hope you have of
becoming king of England.

Prince Condé,
what a pleasure.

Won't you join me?

Where on earth have you been?

I had business
in the village.

Ridley, our advance man,
is dead.

He never reached scotland.

I received a coded message from
mcnabb, his second in command.

He found ridley's body
robbed of his possessions,

Including the letters
to the lords

At both potential ports
in scotland.

Louis, those letters

Bore my seal.
They were a calculated risk.

The only way for ridley to prove

The legitimacy of his mission.

I need you
to seek out mcnabb.

Find out what really
happened that night.

He's the only one who might
be able to help us

Find ridley's killer,
and I can't risk him

Being spotted here at court.

If it was a spy for England,

We would sail into a
trap with or without

Ridley's intelligence.

And if it was a spy for France?

If proof of your plan
gets back to francis,

We might both lose our heads,

Whether francis wants it or not.

Claude:
Surprise.

(sighs)

Oh.

It's you.

You were expecting
someone else?

If your mother knew
you were in my bed,

She would not be happy.

A fact of which you, claude...

Are well aware.

Does this technique
typically work for you?

Pursuing a man who has

Already politely declined?

Of course it does.

I tend to get

Whatever it is that I want.

Well...

(gasps)

...Not today.

Greer:
The salt cod

Was a splurge,

But one can only force down
so much guinea pie.

Salt cod,
a splurge?

You used to call it
"peasant food."

That was when I
could only dream

Of walking through the
village with you on my arm.

I am amazed at your
resiliency, greer.

I knew you had
it in you.

I didn't.

Well, I'm glad
you were right.

Ooh! (giggles)

(knock at door)

I'm ever so sorry to interrupt,

But we're dealing
with a bit of an emergency.

I've got a willing bloke
downstairs

And no place to, um...

Ply my trade.

What about your room?
Well, I gave
that to gigi.

She's been at it for hours

With that handsome fellow
in from the coast.

Tell your customer

It'll just be a moment.

Last night,

She wakes us from
a dead sleep

Because she
needs a gown

For a john who has a
penchant for taffeta.

Aren't people so strange
and fascinating?

Maybe at first.

Aren't you getting
tired of this?

This--

Gigi and sharlene,

Salt cod and guinea pie--
is my life now.

I'm saving to rent a townhouse,

But until then...

Well, you knew what
you were getting into

And I won't apologize for it.

Well, what if I could marry you?

Leith, I'm already married.

To a protestant.

Protestants believe in divorce.

Do you really think
it's that easy?

I can't even get a letter
to my husband

While he suffers in prison.

He couldn't agree
if he wanted to.

Well, an
annulment, then.

You could do it
without his agreement.

You were married
in a catholic ceremony,

It-it could
work.
Annulments require

The consent of the vatican--

Money, power...
We have powerful
friends.

No, leith. No.

Please, I beg of you, let it go.

My past life
is in ruins,

And I'm only just now starting
to pick up the pieces.

So much has been taken from me.

Do you know what it feels like

To be reminded of
what I can never have?

(sighs)

You're an honorable,
decent man

Who seeks an honorable,
decent life.

It's why I've always loved you.

But all I can offer you is me.

And you're enough.

I'm sorry.

We never even made it
out of France.

Ridley led us
as far as le havre.

We'd taken rooms
at an inn.

Ridley got in on a game
of three card brag.

In the morning, I found his body

In an alley
outside the tavern.

By then, the letters were gone.

A victim of common thieves?

A card game gone wrong?

Port towns are thick
with dodgy characters.

They're also hubs for espionage.

We did our best
to appear inconspicuous,

But to a trained eye, a royal
operative is easily made.

I think ridley
was killed deliberately.

That there were spies
amongst us that night.

Then I need you to find out
who they answer to:

England, France,
or someone else.

Yes, lord Condé.

Francis:
I hear you're leaving us.

What business
do you have in the north?

It's a neglected
part of your realm.

And on the way,
I'm going to check in

On a corrupt deputy
who I've long owed a visit.

I worry that may not be

The only reason for
your sudden departure.

Careful, brother.

Today may not be the day
to embark on a long

And dangerous journey.
And why is that?

Well, if you're looking
for a fight,

You'll surely find one.

Is that what
you're doing?

(sighs)

To lose a wife
is a difficult thing.

As you well know,
from the look of you.

I suppose Condé's relishing
the distance between you

To further his romantic agenda
with mary.

Mary's smarter
than that.

She's given Condé a wide berth.

When I return,

See that a drink is waiting
for me, won't you?

Francis:
Did you honestly think that
you could get away with it?

She knows.

My mother knows.

Perhaps I was delusional
for believing that you might

Exercise restraint
or possibly even reconsider

Taking Condé into your bed.

Is this happy news?
You look relieved.

Of course not.

I begged you for discretion.
I'm sorry, francis.

And now I am lying for you,

Lying even to
my brother,

Protecting you as
you take comfort

In the arms of another.

This is not
what I wanted.

I only wanted to find...
Happiness.

I know.

Your happiness.

But I don't know how much longer

I can maintain this charade.

I made you
a promise,

And it's one
I won't break.

You are free to be with Condé.

But I can't control my mother's
appetite for vengeance.

Conde:
We need to leave for scotland.

Right now. Today.
Mary:
How?

Catherine will have spies
watching my every move.

There's no time to waste.
If francis doesn't

Have your letters, that doesn't
mean he won't, and soon.

We'll be found out,
by him or somebody else.

Louis, don't you see?
I'm scared.

I made a choice,

And I thought I had the strength
to face the risks head-on.

But our plans are crumbling
around us.
So we do nothing?

We wait until what?
Until francis knows?

Until we're discovered
and it's too late

To run for our lives, mary?

Run where?

Ridley's man mcnabb
is certain

That a spy took
my letters.

Francis doesn't have them.

If the spy is english
and not french,

Then elizabeth will be

Bolstering her troops
in scotland.

Without intelligence,

Solid intelligence, we would be
sailing right into an ambush.

It's too late for me,

But your name isn't
on those letters.

If we end our mission now,
I can still save you.

There may still be a way.

I have an english contact,

A high-ranking negotiator.

He serves elizabeth in France

And abroad...
And scotland.

He might have information

About England's
military strategy there.

Who?

His name's lord burgess.

He was sent here to negotiate
a marriage alliance

Between queen elizabeth...

...And me.

You?

I've been taking secret
meetings with him

As recently as this morning.

You... You encouraged
such an alliance?

At first, but not anymore.

"not anymore"?

And when did you have
this change of heart?

When you were professing
your love for me?

When you pledged
to stand by my side?

I'm saying no,
without regard for
elizabeth's retribution,

Because I believe in us.

I trust you.
You're a liar!

I trusted you!
I opened my heart

To a liar!
Mary, please understand...

I do understand, louis.

I understand
that you doubted me.

You doubted that we'd
even get to scotland,

Because you weren't convinced

That I would leave francis
in the end.

When I was prepared

To give you everything.

I will find a way
to see you home.

To prove to you
that I have no doubts

That it's you who I want.

Even if you could...

What makes you think
I'd take you with me?

Deputy:
My region is happy to
welcome the king's deputy,

No matter
the inquiry.

Please, come inside;

You've been
riding for hours.

The journey was long.

But the rumors of a man

Who swore allegiance
to the crown, bending the laws

To line his own pockets,

Made it necessary.

You must be
mistaken.

I've policed this territory
for years

And have heard no complaints.

Perhaps because
you've silenced

The people's voices.
A visitor?

Should I stoke the fire?

Back inside
with you. Now.

Take your hands off her.

Who left those marks
on your face?

Her face is
my business.

And she earns every
mark she gets.

(woman gasps, deputy grunts)

Take this and go
to the castle.

Use my name. They'll give
you shelter and a job.

Oh, thank you, but...
Go inside and
gather your things.

I'll make sure
someone rides with you.

They are born as women

Into a world that
casts them aside.

And then men like you,

Bullies, liars,
think you own them.

Their king and master.

These women, who trusted you
enough to care for you,

To marry you,
become your playthings.

Your punching bag.

You are no king.

Don't even think
of going after her.

You are hereby
stripped of your title

By order of the king of France.

Lola:
You've been out here for hours.

The cold air
does me good.

Mary, you know
you can tell me anything.

Lola, I feel so trapped here.

So alone.

You and francis, I...

I know how painful

Your estrangement must feel.

But you have to know that,

No matter your choices,

You still have
a husband who would do

Anything to make you happy.

He told you.

About louis.

You know about our affair.
Francis trusted me

Because he knows
I will support you, always.

Do you?

Oh...

If Condé is the man
who can free you

From the pain
I have watched you suffer,

Then yes.
Be with him.

Who am I to judge?

Louis and I are done.

He betrayed me.

He's been secretly entertaining

A marriage proposal from
queen elizabeth for weeks.

From elizabeth?

I was set to sail home.

To reclaim my throne
with louis at my side.

The risk you two are taking...

Condé, to defy
elizabeth...

You do realize that,
if he turns her down...

He said he was going to.
...It will provoke her.

He'll become an enemy
of the queen of England,

And I'm sorry,

But for what future?

You're a married queen.

Can you blame him
for his doubts?

Are you still going to scotland?

Our plans have suffered
a terrible setback.

There's no hope now
of making the journey safely,

And... Lola, I'm afraid.

When I came to
this country,

I left my family
behind, my life.

I was terrified.

And I was just your lady,
with little responsibility

Other than standing
at my friend's side.

But you, you
were fearless.

Standing up to the rulers
of France again and again

With a fire that
I'd never seen.

Fighting for
us, for aid,

For troops,
for scotland.

Mary, you have been
waiting for so long

For the day when you
can take your throne.

It may not be my throne
by the time I get there.

And that girl

Who knew no fear,

I am not her anymore.

No.

You are wiser

And stronger.

Remember that strength

That so many have
tried to take from you.

It is in you
still, my friend,

My queen.

Go.

And if Condé can aid
you on your journey,

Forgive him, keep
him at your side.

I had a visitor to my
chambers this morning.

Your daughter.

It was unannounced

And not the first of its kind.

Mm.

She comes to me
to annoy you.

Because she sees that
we've grown closer.

Admit it.

You enjoy my company.

You are a necessary evil

Whose orbit I can't
seem to escape.

Who stands by you

And protects your family's
interests at every turn.

Well, we share
a mutually beneficial

Political
relationship.

To read more into it
would be a foolish mistake.

Your bedroom
activities

And who you engage in them with
are of no concern.

Don't announce them to me.

All right then.

I won't.

I shall do as I please
as silently and respectfully

As any political
associate of yours would.

As any colleague

With a penchant

For beautiful women,

Or as any man who bears
his inexplicable appeal

To young
lusty royals.

(door opens)

This is not
a reconciliation, louis.

I realized
you were right.

The only way to escape
the repercussions

Of the discovery of my letters
is to leave for scotland.

Unannounced and as swiftly
as possible.

I will use elizabeth's
envoy, lord burgess,

To get the information I need
to sail home safely.

But I will need your help
getting it from him.

Helping you means betraying
the queen of England.

All for a woman who doesn't know
if she wants to be with me,

Who may not even
take me with her.

I love you, mary.

I'll do anything to
prove my loyalty,

But I need you
to be very clear

About what it is
you're asking of me.

Where can I find
the envoy?

(rustling)

(rustling)

Who's there?

Deputy:
A friend.

(gasping)

Your brother, the king,
can't protect you now.

You called for me,
your majesty.
Leith bayard.

(chuckles) I need someone
for a special position.

Someone trustworthy, discreet.

You can view it
as a promotion.

It's the post of personal
bodyguard to princess claude.

The princess...

Mm-hmm.

...Is such a refined
and-and worldly young lady,

I-I fear she would find
my company boorish.

You need to be at her side
at all times.

And find a way
to keep her occupied.

You want me to take her on walks

Or horseback riding?

Claude isn't
very sporty.

(chuckles) she's very
spirited, passionate,

And, uh, it'll be
your responsibility

To see that she has a safe
receptacle for all that...

Energy.

Make sure she doesn't end up
in the bed of some nobleman

Or a stable boy.

Or your own.

I need someone
comely enough

To keep the
princess' attention

And smart enough
to know his place.

Do we understand each other?

Uh, you don't want a guard,
you want...

A babysitter?!
I've just been informed

I'm no longer allowed
outside the castle,

Or anywhere really,
without a personal guard.

By order of the queen mother.

When will you stop trying
to control me?

When you stop behaving like
you need to be controlled.

It's not going
to work.

I don't care what ogre
you've entrusted

This ridiculous job to...

Oh, hello.

I'll leave you two
to get acquainted.

Uh...

So...

You're my new keeper.

(groans)

(screams)

An annulment
for greer?

I want to marry her.

I'm hopeful it will
bring her a better life.

Since her dismissal from court,
she's fallen hard.

And I'm not without
compassion for her.

But her husband did fund
an attack on this castle,

However honorable
his intentions.

She is labeled
as treasonous.

It's not a label
I gave her,

But it is one that
she is stuck with.

She made mistakes,

But she has paid
for them.

You are choosing a hard road
by standing at her side.

Protect yourself
and your future.

Your own status is on
the rise; reach for more.

But I love her.

Your majesty, I love her.

Greer's husband is imprisoned.

She'll likely never
see him again.

We could have a family,
legitimate children.

That is the future
I seek.

As a king, I often want to
solve the world's problems.

And I would certainly
love to solve yours.

But obtaining annulment
is no easy task,

Even when a king
does the asking.

Every favor from the
vatican comes with a price,

And god only knows what
they would want for this.

Leith, my friend.

Let her go.

It's a nippy one.

You want to warm yourself
on my dumplings?

The vulgar blooms
of France cannot compare

To the subtle grace
of an english rose.

Still, it would be a shame
to leave France

Without sampling
its goods.

Guard:
Stay where you are, sir.

What is the meaning of this?

You are arrested
by order

Of her majesty, queen mary.

Mary: I know you are
in France at the behest

Of your queen,
elizabeth.

I am in France of my own accord.

Did you not think
I would find it suspicious?

A high-ranking diplomat avoiding

An appearance at my court
during his visit?

What is this little
english vole doing,

Scurrying about in secret
in my country?

I'm hardly here in secret,
your majesty.

I've rented rooms in town.

Where my guards have
witnessed you

Breaking bread with known
protestant sympathizers.

What?

Including
victor caron.

Your majesty, no.

No, none of this is true.

I assure you,
I have never met...

Do not presume to think
that you can lie

To the queen of France and
scotland without consequences.

As a feared and militant
protestant revolutionary,

Victor caron is under
surveillance at all times.

And your meeting with him
can only mean

That elizabeth has sent you...

No.

...To fund and organize
a religious revolt

Against the french crown.

Hear me now.

I will respond to any threat
to my sovereignty

With swift
and brutal measures.

If you do not confess
by tomorrow morning,

I will send elizabeth
that basket

With your head in it.

We need burgess to believe
his life is truly in danger

For this to work.

Do you think
he bought it?

I know he did.

I wasn't just
play-acting, louis.

I will spill blood to
defend what's mine.

In that regard, I
meant every word.

Water. Please, some water.

Shut your mouth.

You'll be dead soon enough.

(muffled screaming)

No, no, please!

No, no.

Shh!

We have to move.

Now.

Come. Come.

Burgess:
Where are we going?

This passage leads
outside the castle.

I'm a negotiator sent to
foster a marriage alliance.

Now queen mary suspects
me of conspiring

With protestant
militants?

Doesn't matter--
you're safe now.

When the guards
find me missing,

They'll search every ship
bound for England.

That's why you're not going
to England, not directly.

I secured you passage
on a ship sailing

To the port of buckhaven
in scotland.

From there you can make
your own way home on land.

Thank you.

Your queen would
have had my head.

England and I owe
you a great debt.

But can you order your ship's
captain to-to dock at aberdeen,

A port to the
north, instead?

That's
a longer route.

But buckhaven is a catholic
stronghold, loyal to mary.

I thought scotland was nearly
under elizabeth's control.

With queen mary
safe in France,

There's no need to
rush a takeover.

Scotland's infighting may soon
solve that problem for us.

Until then, port
aberdeen is controlled

By compatriots who, like
you, are loyal to England.

Consider it done.

It is a tragedy that your son
died without last rites.

But if you want
his soul to enter

Into the kingdom of heaven
unencumbered by sin,

The cost of that indulgence
is eight livres,

Not two.

Please, your eminence!

Please!

My servant says you have
a message from court.

What is it?

There is no message.

I lied so I could gain

An audience with you.

Cardinal desjardin,
I've come to ask

For an annulment
for a friend.

(laughs)

The dissolution
of a marriage,

Like lying to an officer
of the church,

Is an affront to god.

I am told that
the vatican

Does grant annulments to
those who are deserving.

Or who can prove
their loyalty.

Please, what can I
do to prove mine?

I am a reverent man,
and I will pay any tithe.

You will pay tithes?

I'm sorry, my son,
but with what coin?

I am a captain in
the palace guard

And a man on the rise.

Well, I-I am a
friend to the king!

I saved his life!
Please, your eminence!

This girl, I love her!
Tell me more

About your time spent
in the service of the king.

I got your message, renaude.

Lord narcisse.

You've kept me waiting.

Well, we could have
done this at court

Over dinner and fine wine.

What I have to say is
for your ears only.

You've always been cautious.

Even when you were
commanding my army.

When I had an army.

I came across a
scotsman in le havre.

This man, collins, he
entered into a card game

With a group of locals,
and was clearly cheated.

I have no use for information
about a petty swindler.

Collins just let it happen.

No confrontation.

Gave up his coin and left.

Eager to avoid attention.

Exactly.

When I tried to ask him
a few simple questions,

He pulled a knife.

His mistake.

When I went through
his things, I found out

His real name was ridley.

And that he is someone
of great import

To the queen.

Queen mary?

What makes you say that?

My god.

Is this the queen
of scots' seal?

A secret campaign
to retake scotland?

Mm.

Mary was leaving France?

Leaving my son?

A brazen move.

No doubt encouraged by that

Bourbon usurper at her side.

I thought she was unfaithful.

I had no idea the depth
of her betrayal.

I've already arranged
for mary's letters

To be returned to them,
seals intact.

Mary and Condé will
believe all is well,

And their false sense of
security will give them

Just enough rope
to hang themselves.

No, that's the last thing
that I want.

The enmity between you and mary

Since she returned to
court is known to all.

Mary is not
the same foolish girl

Who was forced
into our care.

And I have come
to care for her.

She has faced many trials here
at court as queen.

She's grown.

She's stronger.
Braver... Clearly.

Sometimes bravery leads
to foolish choices.

And this is one
from which there

Is no turning back.

I have no desire to destroy

Mary or her reputation.

We have to stop her.

Francis must stop her.

(gasping)

Don't move.

You'll lose more blood.

Sister delphine.

Where are we?

You're not...
Wearing your habit.

I'm not really a nun.

I laid hands on you.

Death is coming.

Aah! God.

Help me. The pain.

You know there could be a price.

The blind boy
in the village.

(yelling)

Save me!

I want to live.

That's what they all choose.

Every time.

(rapid gasping)

(screaming)

How did you find the letters?
I've been in contact

With the deputy in le havre,
where ridley was killed.

He and his men captured
and killed a common highwayman

Who had been robbing people
passing through town.

You think this highwayman
killed ridley?

Ridley's effects were found
among his possessions.

Everything was there,
the letters unopened.

Then the secret
of our mission is safe.

Your loyalty will
not go unrewarded.

Everything is in place.

Your trade delegation

Can be quickly assembled.

And thanks to lord burgess,

We know that buckhaven is
a safe port of entry.

Yes.

There is only one
outstanding matter

Before you retake scotland.

Whether you still
want me to come.

There's something you
must know about mary.

And Condé.

Lord burgess is safely
headed back to England.

He and queen elizabeth
will remain unaware

That you helped me.

That his arrest and his
rescue was all for me.

You've been playing both sides
for some time now, louis.

It can't go on like this,
not anymore.

You can trust me.
Not until you

Make a choice.

Right now.

Elizabeth or me.

Catherine:
If mary leaves with Condé,

France loses not
just a queen,

But scotland, any
claim to England.

You will be left playing
a weak cuckold!

I suspected mary of infidelity.

But this is treason.

Mary:
Consider your choice carefully.

Elizabeth can offer
you marriage,

England, power,
a life of security.

I know that together

We face an uncertain future.

But I still see it...
In scotland,

I still see it.

There's always a choice,
and sometimes that choice

Is so difficult
that it's a leap...

A leap of a fool's faith.

But my heart tells me
that this is it.

This is the moment.

You are my choice.

If you'll still have me.

Catherine:
She won't listen to reason.

She will listen to you.

Francis?

Francis! Francis, you-you...

You must stop her!

For both of your sakes!

Francis?

Francis.

No.

Help... Help! Help!

The king!

My son... My son...

Mary:
I thought I needed you.

Needed us, together in scotland.

To find the person I was.

I convinced myself that in order
to heal I needed you by my side.

But now I know.

Before you dare

To trust anyone else,

You must first trust yourself.

Your own power.

That strength
I'd thought I'd lost,

I haven't.

It's in me still.

Elizabeth may be
the wiser choice.

But I can give you my heart.

My full, strong heart.

(short laugh)

Narcisse:
What is it?

Francis. He's dying.

He's leaving me.

The physicians said
he merely fainted.

He may have an
ear infection,

You have nothing
to worry about.

The vision!

Nostradamus' vision.

He saw how francis died.

He foresaw it--
francis' death.

It's all coming true!

What exactly
did he see?

I can't lose him.

I can't.

I'll be alone!

Charles, henry,
they're too young to rule.

I'll be regent.
I-I... I'm not ready!

The country,
it's too weak.

The pieces are not in place.

I'm hated by everyone.

They want me gone.

They'll do everything
in their power

To make that happen!
Stop it!

This is not like you.

You're worrying about nothing.

You have no idea what
it's like to be a woman.

To be a mother having
to face this world alone.

If you believe anything,

Believe this.

You are not alone.

We should stop now.

I don't want to stop.

I will wait for you.

As long as it takes
until you're ready.

I am ready.

To take back my life.

The courage to give
myself to someone else.

To you.

It's as you said.

You are my choice.

And this is our moment.

Now, louis.
