1
00:00:13,919 --> 00:00:17,429
Do you think any of them will still be alive
when we get there?
2
00:00:17,519 --> 00:00:21,749
Brother Joseph said that only a few had died
when he left.
3
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,310
Do you think I'm being mercenary?
4
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,670
No. It's the Priory's money
and Godwyn stole it.
5
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,269
How do we know it's even there?
6
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:32,390
Well, Godwyn's there,
and wherever Godwyn goes...
7
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,029
We should be there by this time tomorrow.
8
00:00:42,519 --> 00:00:44,550
You're a fine cook, Merthin.
9
00:00:45,519 --> 00:00:47,750
One learns when one lives alone.
10
00:00:51,279 --> 00:00:52,989
Why are you smiling?
11
00:00:53,919 --> 00:00:56,150
Just all suddenly seems so real.
12
00:00:57,559 --> 00:00:59,589
-What does?
-My hospice.
13
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,909
Your hospice? I have to design and build it.
14
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,629
I rather thought of it as ours.
15
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,909
Where is Brother Matthias?
16
00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:20,539
He's taking a long time, don't you think?
17
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,179
Thank you for coming.
18
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,149
Why did you ask me?
19
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:36,429
Well, we need you, and
you're one of the few people I trust.
20
00:01:36,519 --> 00:01:38,980
And do you still trust me,
21
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,459
now that we're alone,
22
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,069
at night, in the forest?
23
00:01:45,159 --> 00:01:47,390
Don't tease me, Merthin.
24
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:50,789
I'm tempting, I'm not teasing.
25
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:53,709
Priors are not easily tempted.
26
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,349
You're no ordinary Prior.
27
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,269
And I'm no ordinary temptation.
28
00:02:01,519 --> 00:02:02,989
Stop it. They'll be back.
29
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,590
Which is why I must be direct.
30
00:02:12,239 --> 00:02:13,429
I'll go.
31
00:02:56,439 --> 00:02:57,910
Is everything all right?
32
00:02:57,999 --> 00:02:59,709
Yes. It was nothing.
33
00:03:11,839 --> 00:03:13,309
Good night.
34
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:17,869
Good night.
35
00:03:49,959 --> 00:03:51,390
Your Majesty?
36
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,269
Your Majesty!
37
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,110
Forgive me.
38
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,309
What? What is it?
39
00:04:02,239 --> 00:04:03,300
Terrible news.
40
00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:06,660
Get out.
41
00:04:07,519 --> 00:04:08,709
Get out!
42
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,869
What? What is it?
43
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:17,619
Tell me.
44
00:04:17,999 --> 00:04:21,619
The Princess Joan, passing through France
on her way to Castile,
45
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,069
met the Great Mortality.
46
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:25,989
She is dead.
47
00:04:31,679 --> 00:04:32,869
No, no!
48
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,300
No!
49
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,590
Here we are at last.
50
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:33,710
There's someone in here.
51
00:05:55,319 --> 00:05:59,429
It's the fumes of our excrement
that ward off the disease.
52
00:06:01,999 --> 00:06:05,670
It saved me. The others wouldn't listen.
53
00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:11,550
That's something
your infidel physicians don't know.
54
00:06:12,239 --> 00:06:14,150
Whose grave is outside?
55
00:06:14,239 --> 00:06:16,989
It's Brother Saul, he was the first to die.
56
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,270
And you'll join him soon if you don't join me.
Please come.
57
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:26,139
Where's the Priory's money, Godwyn?
58
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:31,949
I ate it.
59
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,150
I think it would be better
if we keep this to ourselves.
60
00:06:49,239 --> 00:06:51,150
What will we do with him?
61
00:06:52,119 --> 00:06:53,470
Bring him back with us, I'm afraid.
62
00:06:53,559 --> 00:06:56,150
But we must first give these people
a Christian burial.
63
00:06:56,239 --> 00:06:57,550
Absolutely.
64
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,949
-Over there.
-Very well.
65
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,389
What are you doing?
66
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:21,590
No, this is holy ground!
67
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:25,550
No!
68
00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:27,389
No! No! No!
69
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,869
Give it to me! No! No!
70
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:30,660
Stop!
71
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:32,670
Get off him.
72
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:34,900
Get off him.
73
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,949
He bit me. He bit me.
74
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,869
It's all right. It's all right.
75
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,189
Come along, sister.
76
00:09:26,439 --> 00:09:27,990
Give us a moment.
77
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:30,620
Sam?
78
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,660
I'm sorry I wasn't there to help.
79
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,699
There was nothing anyone could do.
80
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,189
That was the hardest part.
81
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,750
He asked for you in the end.
82
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,309
What did you tell him?
83
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,500
That you had gone to fetch Mother Caris
and would be back soon.
84
00:09:56,079 --> 00:09:58,910
He said he would... He would try to wait.
85
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,790
I'm so sorry.
86
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:18,870
I'm so sorry.
87
00:10:28,599 --> 00:10:31,160
Why isn't anyone ploughing these fields?
88
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,829
There are too many peasants who've died.
89
00:10:35,439 --> 00:10:38,750
We will all be starving by winter
if someone doesn't plant something soon.
90
00:10:39,719 --> 00:10:42,390
What kind of lord
allows his lands to lie fallow?
91
00:10:42,479 --> 00:10:45,109
That's not up to a lord.
That's up to the Prior of Kingsbridge.
92
00:10:45,199 --> 00:10:48,150
These lands belong to the Priory.
They're yours.
93
00:10:49,839 --> 00:10:50,949
Right.
94
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,069
And where on earth
am I going to find workers?
95
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,829
Offer an incentive.
96
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,030
That would make
the neighbouring lords furious.
97
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,500
You seriously advocate
going against custom?
98
00:11:01,599 --> 00:11:04,030
But these are uncustomary times,
aren't they?
99
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,069
If the people are to survive the winter,
100
00:11:08,839 --> 00:11:10,949
some things must change.
101
00:11:13,359 --> 00:11:14,550
Greetings, friends.
102
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,990
As acting Prior,
I'm not sanctioned to say Mass,
103
00:11:18,079 --> 00:11:20,829
but I can speak to you from my heart.
104
00:11:21,359 --> 00:11:25,189
In the name of the father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit.
105
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,510
Why has God seen fit to punish us?
106
00:11:30,319 --> 00:11:31,990
Because of our sins?
107
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,189
Then why take children?
108
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,589
And if He must take them,
why take them in a way so terrible?
109
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,990
God's purpose, it's always hidden,
it's only now beginning to reveal itself.
110
00:11:44,079 --> 00:11:46,150
This is the end of the old world.
111
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,790
And it may be the beginning of a new one.
112
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:51,870
And so
113
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,390
as Prior of Kingsbridge,
and with the agreement of Brother Thomas,
114
00:11:57,359 --> 00:12:00,550
I have decided to offer an honest wage
115
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,589
to anyone who will farm
our newly fallow lands.
116
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,979
-Mother Caris.
-Gwenda!
117
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,429
What brings you here?
118
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,109
Wulfric and I
119
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:21,870
want to be wed.
120
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,910
Congratulations!
121
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:25,910
That's wonderful!
122
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,109
And we'd like you to marry us,
if that's allowed?
123
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,420
Well, I'd be delighted.
124
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,949
And will you give us land to farm,
like you promised?
125
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,750
It's Priory land, Gwenda.
126
00:12:34,839 --> 00:12:35,979
You work for Lord Ralph.
127
00:12:36,079 --> 00:12:39,109
You do realise that it's against the law
to leave him without his permission?
128
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,179
You said it's the beginning of a new world.
129
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,990
Doesn't that mean laws will be broken?
130
00:12:45,839 --> 00:12:47,750
Yes. Yes, it does.
131
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:49,829
Will you, Wulfric,
132
00:12:50,079 --> 00:12:52,459
take Gwenda as your lawful wife,
133
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,390
to love and honour from this day forward?
134
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:57,510
I will.
135
00:12:58,199 --> 00:13:01,740
Will you, Gwenda, take Wulfric
as your lawful husband,
136
00:13:01,839 --> 00:13:04,709
to love, honour and obey
from this day forward?
137
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,750
Forget the bit about "obey."
138
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,589
Never mind about "obey."
139
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,260
I will.
140
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:20,949
You put it on the notch.
141
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,309
When they're on the notch, yeah? Listen.
142
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,390
What's taking them so long?
143
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,630
-Where are they?
-I don't know.
144
00:13:28,719 --> 00:13:30,829
No. Come on, Sam. Concentrate.
145
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,709
Where's the notch?
146
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,550
Ma, where are we going?
147
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,390
Hush, I'll tell you later.
148
00:14:02,479 --> 00:14:04,709
Please! Tell me, I wanna know.
149
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,750
Now Sam, we're leaving Wigleigh
to work on Prior Caris' fields.
150
00:14:19,559 --> 00:14:21,030
Who goes there?
151
00:14:22,679 --> 00:14:24,030
Yes, Sister?
152
00:14:24,439 --> 00:14:27,429
Mother Caris of Kingsbridge. I was sent for.
153
00:14:38,599 --> 00:14:39,579
Earl Roland?
154
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:44,900
You.
155
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,030
I've come to bring you comfort.
156
00:14:49,959 --> 00:14:52,709
You are a witch!
157
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,630
Keep her away from me!
158
00:14:55,719 --> 00:14:57,270
Distribute these.
159
00:14:57,359 --> 00:14:59,349
Everyone in Shiring Castle
must wear a mask.
160
00:14:59,439 --> 00:15:01,109
Doni listen to her!
161
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,589
-Don't listen to her.
-Lie quiet, My Lord.
162
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,589
Don't listen to her.
163
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:15,870
Don't listen to her.
164
00:15:19,679 --> 00:15:20,870
Matthias?
165
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,270
Here, drink.
166
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,030
Is it poison?
167
00:15:47,599 --> 00:15:50,349
Poison? That would be what you deserve.
168
00:15:51,319 --> 00:15:54,750
But no, I'm a better mother
than you are a son. Drink.
169
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,910
There you are. Where have you been?
170
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,069
I've been sitting by his side all night
with no sign of you.
171
00:16:08,479 --> 00:16:11,229
I was called to Shiring Castle. How is he?
172
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,109
The world isn't through with him yet.
173
00:16:14,199 --> 00:16:15,709
What took you to Shiring?
174
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,150
Earl Roland died of the Mortality
early this morning.
175
00:16:38,359 --> 00:16:39,949
Why the long face?
176
00:16:40,679 --> 00:16:43,390
He killed your father and took his title.
177
00:16:43,479 --> 00:16:45,939
And now your path lies open.
178
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,109
This is a day for rejoicing.
179
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,459
What business is this of yours?
180
00:17:00,959 --> 00:17:02,990
That shouldn't concern you.
181
00:17:03,599 --> 00:17:06,349
Know only that you should have been Earl,
182
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,589
and now's your chance to win your title back,
183
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,030
and more.
184
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,069
What? Just like that?
185
00:17:14,159 --> 00:17:15,300
Oh, no.
186
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,419
There's a game to be played.
187
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,750
When you are ready to learn,
I'll be at your service.
188
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,069
What do you mean "and more"?
189
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,669
Lady Philippa?
190
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,829
You'll make a lovely couple.
191
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,599
I won't hide my face from you any more.
192
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,470
At least I have the courage to do that.
193
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,950
Your courage is misplaced, Tom.
194
00:18:02,839 --> 00:18:05,470
But it is a treat to see your dear face.
195
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:07,990
And yours.
196
00:18:09,879 --> 00:18:13,550
I'm glad that my last vision is of you.
197
00:18:21,639 --> 00:18:23,790
Of everyone I have ever loved,
198
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,309
I've loved no one half as much as you.
199
00:18:31,919 --> 00:18:34,510
"Very pleasant have you been to me,
200
00:18:35,919 --> 00:18:37,629
"and your love wonderful,
201
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,470
"surpassing the love of women."
202
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,470
Come closer.
203
00:18:54,639 --> 00:18:56,470
Be brave.
204
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,790
Don't let your secrets die with you.
205
00:19:50,399 --> 00:19:52,069
Your Majesty.
206
00:19:52,159 --> 00:19:54,309
-Your Highness.
-Your Highness.
207
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,349
What are you doing here?
208
00:20:09,079 --> 00:20:11,460
I've come to mourn my granddaughter.
209
00:20:13,599 --> 00:20:15,550
You are not welcome.
210
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,750
I don't care if I'm welcome or not.
211
00:20:19,839 --> 00:20:23,230
She meant more to me
than any of my other grandchildren.
212
00:20:23,879 --> 00:20:26,629
I leave again in three days' time.
213
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,869
Now grant me a moment alone with her,
if you please.
214
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,389
Two days.
215
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,470
I'm so sorry.
216
00:20:55,919 --> 00:20:58,069
I know how much you loved him.
217
00:20:58,159 --> 00:21:00,430
God forgive anyone
who misjudges you for that.
218
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:01,790
Thank you.
219
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,180
I've run away from too many things.
220
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,109
And he loved me in spite of that.
221
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,550
What do you mean?
222
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,220
The past.
223
00:21:21,399 --> 00:21:22,669
The truth.
224
00:21:24,399 --> 00:21:25,710
What truth?
225
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:28,540
Mine.
226
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:39,109
When I was at Berkeley Castle
where King Edward II was imprisoned,
227
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,819
two men arrived
with an order to execute the King.
228
00:21:44,079 --> 00:21:47,430
I killed the knight
who was to carry out this order.
229
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,470
Murdered him in cold blood.
230
00:21:53,159 --> 00:21:56,430
You want to know why
Queen Isabella hates Kingsbridge?
231
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,069
It's because I'm here.
232
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,510
And I hold her secret.
233
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,389
It was she who ordered the King's execution.
234
00:22:10,159 --> 00:22:11,550
And the King?
235
00:22:13,079 --> 00:22:15,869
Spirited out of the castle
and given a new life.
236
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:17,550
He lives?
237
00:22:18,399 --> 00:22:20,589
Rumour has it he fled to Italy.
238
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,430
I've been expecting you.
239
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,180
Please come in.
240
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:42,710
Sit.
241
00:22:43,919 --> 00:22:45,909
Why do you want to help me?
242
00:22:47,599 --> 00:22:50,510
You were born to be Earl. Don't you agree?
243
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,230
Yes.
244
00:22:55,839 --> 00:22:58,629
Then I shall do all I can to make it happen.
245
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,069
Why? Why do you care what happens to me?
246
00:23:07,159 --> 00:23:09,750
It's only natural for
a mother to care about her son.
247
00:23:11,879 --> 00:23:13,550
What are you talking about?
248
00:23:16,639 --> 00:23:18,750
I had a child out of wedlock.
249
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,030
Sir Gerald and Lady Maud
raised him as their own.
250
00:23:25,159 --> 00:23:26,550
It was you.
251
00:23:33,639 --> 00:23:34,829
You're not my mother.
252
00:23:35,319 --> 00:23:36,379
Yes.
253
00:23:40,879 --> 00:23:42,669
No. No, no, no. My...
254
00:23:43,839 --> 00:23:45,510
My father was Sir Gerald.
255
00:23:45,599 --> 00:23:48,230
Your father, God damn his soul,
256
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,589
was Earl Roland.
257
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,180
No.
258
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,149
You lie!
259
00:24:00,079 --> 00:24:02,829
I am the son of Lady Maud and Sir Gerald,
260
00:24:02,919 --> 00:24:06,030
defender of the realm
and the late Earl of Shiring!
261
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:10,950
You're mine.
262
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,440
You're mine.
263
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:13,520
You're mine.
264
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:14,500
Move!
265
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:26,419
Did you know?
266
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,629
-What?
-Did you know?
267
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,309
I think more clearly
without a sword at my throat.
268
00:24:41,839 --> 00:24:42,899
What is it, brother?
269
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,790
I'm not your brother. Did you know that?
270
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:47,980
Yes.
271
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,339
Mother told Caris before she died.
272
00:24:54,639 --> 00:24:56,470
Why didn't you tell me?
273
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,309
Why would I want to hurt you, Ralph?
274
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,990
-You're still my brother.
-No.
275
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,740
I'm the rightful Earl of Shiring.
276
00:25:11,919 --> 00:25:13,629
You're nothing to me.
277
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,550
I'm so sorry, Merthin.
278
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,300
I was a fool to return to Kingsbridge.
What did I imagine?
279
00:25:36,399 --> 00:25:38,149
That everything would get better?
280
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,470
I mean, nothing's ever different.
It just gets worse.
281
00:25:42,079 --> 00:25:43,669
And what about me?
282
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,990
Your Priory comes before me.
283
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,139
Well, without the Priory I'd be dead.
You know that.
284
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:54,909
It was never a choice I made over you...
285
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,790
Nevertheless it comes between us,
doesn't it?
286
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,349
So you tell me, why should I stay?
287
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:06,990
Because I love you.
288
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:14,750
I love you.
289
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,190
You realise this changes everything.
290
00:26:55,879 --> 00:26:56,829
Yes.
291
00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:59,389
I know.
292
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,349
Your carriage is ready. Why aren't you in it?
293
00:27:18,839 --> 00:27:21,139
Your tears don't move me, Mother.
294
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,510
I'm in a great deal of pain.
295
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,510
I have malignancies that do not heal.
296
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,869
In your body or your soul?
297
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,030
Be cruel while you can,
298
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,510
for you won't have me much longer.
299
00:27:42,599 --> 00:27:45,950
My physician tells me
I won't see another Christmastide.
300
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:48,869
I'm sorry for you.
301
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,470
I am, too.
302
00:27:52,159 --> 00:27:53,629
Surprised more.
303
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,669
I thought I'd live forever.
304
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,750
In reviewing my life, I admit
there's not much I've given this world.
305
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,950
But the one thing
I'm proud of leaving behind is you.
306
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,990
I didn't mean for you to see me like this.
307
00:28:22,559 --> 00:28:26,260
You're a better king than your father.
Which isn't saying much.
308
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,550
But you're also a greater leader
of your people than any king before you.
309
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,309
And l like to think
l had some little hand in making you so.
310
00:28:41,639 --> 00:28:43,030
Mother, wait.
311
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,109
I'll have my own physicians care for you.
312
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,230
Thank you.
313
00:29:15,319 --> 00:29:16,349
My Lord!
314
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,550
My Lord,
a dozen of your peasants have deserted.
315
00:29:21,639 --> 00:29:23,030
What are you talking about?
316
00:29:23,119 --> 00:29:24,710
They've gone to work Priory land.
317
00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:27,109
Well, they can't do that!
When did they leave?
318
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,790
Several nights past.
319
00:29:28,879 --> 00:29:31,829
Wulfric and his whore were the first to go
and the others followed after.
320
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,069
Come with me.
321
00:29:34,359 --> 00:29:36,030
Prepare the gallows!
322
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,909
You're breaking the law!
323
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:12,740
According to the Ordinance of Labourers,
324
00:30:12,839 --> 00:30:15,399
no one is allowed to forsake their own village
and move to another!
325
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,750
That's a law to prevent
the spread of the plague. It doesn't affect us!
326
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,030
It's a law enforced to stop peasants
from leaving their masters.
327
00:30:22,119 --> 00:30:23,470
I need you to work my land.
328
00:30:23,559 --> 00:30:24,990
You will return to Wigleigh at once!
329
00:30:25,079 --> 00:30:27,790
We're being paid to work this land.
330
00:30:27,879 --> 00:30:29,710
And what do you pay?
331
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,589
We'll no longer work for food alone.
332
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,470
There ain't enough workers still alive.
333
00:30:35,599 --> 00:30:37,309
So if you want us, we want silver.
334
00:30:41,559 --> 00:30:43,149
Who is paying you?
335
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,710
Prior Caris of Kingsbridge.
336
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,550
-Prior Caris?
-Yes.
337
00:30:50,399 --> 00:30:51,540
Hello.
338
00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:55,619
-What's your name?
-Sam.
339
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:56,750
Sam?
340
00:30:57,599 --> 00:30:59,030
Is that your Ma?
341
00:30:59,119 --> 00:31:00,230
Yes.
342
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,030
He's a handsome lad, Gwenda.
343
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:09,500
No!
344
00:31:09,599 --> 00:31:13,790
This, this is what I pay
unless you return to Wigleigh.
345
00:31:15,359 --> 00:31:17,149
One step closer and there will be blood.
346
00:31:22,079 --> 00:31:23,869
I've killed boys younger than him in France.
347
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:26,909
All right.
348
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:28,990
Acknowledge me as your lord.
349
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:31,550
Whatever you say.
350
00:31:33,319 --> 00:31:34,379
Good.
351
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:35,859
Kneel.
352
00:31:37,839 --> 00:31:39,109
Kneel.
353
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,109
Kiss my foot.
354
00:32:11,599 --> 00:32:12,579
Bind him.
355
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:13,950
No! Please!
356
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,349
Please. Have mercy on him!
357
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,309
I don't intend to deprive your son of a father,
if that's what you're worried about.
358
00:32:20,399 --> 00:32:22,829
But I do intend to
make an example of your man.
359
00:32:22,919 --> 00:32:23,950
As for the rest of you,
360
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,990
if you return to Wigleigh by tomorrow
evening you will be pardoned.
361
00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:28,510
If not, you will be hanged.
362
00:32:28,599 --> 00:32:30,430
Do I make myself clear?
363
00:32:32,599 --> 00:32:33,629
Good.
364
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:36,589
Take the boy.
365
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,149
Run, Sam! Run!
366
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:41,980
-Good boy.
-Go on, lad.
367
00:32:47,559 --> 00:32:51,069
If you want to see your man again,
bring the boy to the Manor House by Sunday.
368
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,470
Good day, Brother Godwyn.
369
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,909
Hot potage, freshly made.
370
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,790
Can I get you anything else?
371
00:33:12,919 --> 00:33:15,149
Yes, Caris. Of course you can, Caris.
372
00:33:16,399 --> 00:33:18,149
I'm not Prior Caris.
373
00:33:22,639 --> 00:33:24,230
Prior Caris?
374
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:28,550
Yes.
375
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,149
Don't! Stop it!
376
00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:41,230
No! No! No!
377
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:51,430
No!
378
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,470
No! No!
379
00:33:53,559 --> 00:33:55,149
-Put him down.
-No!
380
00:33:58,839 --> 00:34:01,190
I am God's servant on this earth! Not you!
381
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:02,470
You are a whore!
382
00:34:02,839 --> 00:34:05,030
I own Kingsbridge! Not you.
383
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,310
You're a whore, Satan's whore, a witch!
384
00:34:08,399 --> 00:34:10,859
I'm going to burn you as a witch!
385
00:34:10,959 --> 00:34:13,749
I'm going to burn you! Whore!
386
00:34:13,839 --> 00:34:14,950
No!
387
00:34:30,039 --> 00:34:31,100
It's all my fault.
388
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,430
Wulfric's going to hang because of me.
389
00:34:33,519 --> 00:34:35,510
No, he's going to hang because of Ralph.
390
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,789
So what am I supposed to do?
Stand there and watch?
391
00:34:40,240 --> 00:34:42,950
Well, I'll tell you one thing.
I won't let him die.
392
00:34:43,319 --> 00:34:45,109
You watch me. I won't.
393
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,030
I've called you from working my fields
394
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,830
to give an example of what happens
to those who desert me.
395
00:35:01,519 --> 00:35:04,990
This man defied the Ordinance of Labourers.
396
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,030
He chose to abandon his duty to me
to seek a life elsewhere.
397
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,629
I gave his whore until last night
to present her son as ransom.
398
00:35:14,999 --> 00:35:16,709
You deserve to hang today...
399
00:35:22,359 --> 00:35:25,470
Is there anyone else who wishes to defy me?
400
00:35:25,879 --> 00:35:27,100
I do.
401
00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:30,589
Where's the boy?
402
00:35:31,039 --> 00:35:34,149
You will never see him. He's safe from you.
403
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:35,749
Then why did you come?
404
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,310
To beg for his life.
405
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,269
You know my answer.
406
00:35:40,359 --> 00:35:41,830
Not beg you.
407
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,550
Beg them.
408
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,789
You know Wulfric.
You know he is a good man.
409
00:35:46,879 --> 00:35:48,990
He hasn't done anything to deserve this!
410
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,109
You all know this is wrong!
411
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,269
If Lord Ralph can do this to Wulfric,
412
00:35:53,720 --> 00:35:55,789
then he can hang any of us as he pleases!
413
00:35:56,319 --> 00:35:58,589
Is that right? Is that the rule of law?
414
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,789
This ruffian is no better than a brigand.
415
00:36:01,240 --> 00:36:03,539
No. You are the brigand,
416
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,510
robbing us of our land, working us like dogs,
417
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,950
and hanging anyone who stands up to you!
418
00:36:08,519 --> 00:36:10,510
He even raped Annet and got away with it!
419
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:11,870
Quiet, woman!
420
00:36:11,959 --> 00:36:14,030
We don't have to live like this!
421
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:15,310
Shut her up.
422
00:36:15,399 --> 00:36:16,379
We don't!
423
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,510
-Gwenda!
-Stop.
424
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,749
Gwenda! Are you all right?
425
00:36:22,839 --> 00:36:23,789
Get back.
426
00:36:25,919 --> 00:36:27,269
-Get back.
-Hey.
427
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:29,550
Get back.
428
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:45,870
We're under attack, My Lord.
429
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,709
-Don't let him get away.
-Stop him.
430
00:37:29,879 --> 00:37:31,589
Now we're in for it.
431
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:52,950
Has my son returned?
432
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:57,620
I know it must be hard...
433
00:37:57,720 --> 00:37:58,990
Is Merthin my brother?
434
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:02,870
You share no bloodline.
435
00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:05,149
And I'm Roland's son?
436
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:06,669
Yes.
437
00:38:07,319 --> 00:38:09,620
How do I know
you're not spinning a web of lies?
438
00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:11,749
You wouldn't be here
439
00:38:11,839 --> 00:38:13,910
if you didn't feel the truth of all I've said.
440
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,510
What do you hope to profit from this?
441
00:38:17,959 --> 00:38:19,149
Profit?
442
00:38:20,319 --> 00:38:23,109
I hope to regain my son and see him prosper.
443
00:38:25,919 --> 00:38:28,550
Tell me you haven't always felt it.
444
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,430
That you were born for greatness.
445
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,910
Well, try telling my peasants that.
446
00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:35,669
Your peasants?
447
00:38:37,879 --> 00:38:39,749
They defied me.
448
00:38:39,839 --> 00:38:42,109
They've risen up like rabid dogs.
449
00:38:42,879 --> 00:38:45,439
I'll hire two score soldiers and kill them all.
450
00:38:45,519 --> 00:38:47,819
I'll burn Wigleigh to the ground.
451
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,899
That would certainly
teach them a lesson. But...
452
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:53,749
But what?
453
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,459
In chaos, anything is possible.
454
00:39:00,959 --> 00:39:05,310
The true heir of Earl Roland would
turn this revolt to his advantage.
455
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,019
Did I hear you correctly, Lord Ralph?
456
00:39:12,839 --> 00:39:14,550
Your peasants defied you?
457
00:39:14,879 --> 00:39:16,950
Not just me, Your Majesty.
458
00:39:17,039 --> 00:39:20,470
They are a growing band
rising up against all authority,
459
00:39:21,039 --> 00:39:22,229
including the crown.
460
00:39:23,359 --> 00:39:24,419
What?
461
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:26,580
Find them and hang them!
462
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:27,629
That's my fervent wish.
463
00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:29,109
But these outlaws, they...
464
00:39:29,839 --> 00:39:31,430
They hail from Wigleigh.
465
00:39:31,519 --> 00:39:33,030
The same county as Shiring.
466
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,499
They can be tried and punished
only by the Earl.
467
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,229
But he died in the late Mortality, so...
468
00:39:38,879 --> 00:39:39,939
I see.
469
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,189
And if you are made Earl,
470
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,109
you will deliver these outlaws to justice.
471
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,470
Is that your promise?
472
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:48,950
Yes, Your Majesty.
473
00:39:50,839 --> 00:39:54,379
And will you look after Kingsbridge
better than Roland did?
474
00:39:55,519 --> 00:39:56,660
Happily, My Queen.
475
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,390
He will also take care of the Priory,
Your Majesty.
476
00:40:00,479 --> 00:40:03,269
How dare you speak without permission!
477
00:40:03,519 --> 00:40:05,109
Who is this woman?
478
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,749
She's my mother, Your Majesty.
479
00:40:07,839 --> 00:40:09,149
Remember your place.
480
00:40:13,720 --> 00:40:15,669
What is the problem with the Priory?
481
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:20,229
A woman Prior, who gave the peasants land
to lure them from their lords.
482
00:40:20,319 --> 00:40:21,830
Who gave her this right?
483
00:40:21,919 --> 00:40:24,269
The Bishop of Kingsbridge,
recently deceased.
484
00:40:24,359 --> 00:40:27,189
A new one is desperately needed
to restore order.
485
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:30,830
Is there someone in line to replace him?
486
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:32,550
Oh, yes.
487
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,109
The previous Prior was ill
but has regained his health.
488
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:49,419
Morning!
489
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:52,229
What's the meaning of this?
490
00:40:53,359 --> 00:40:55,310
How dare you enter without my permission?
491
00:40:55,399 --> 00:40:57,430
Please, forgive me, My Lady.
492
00:40:58,359 --> 00:40:59,709
But I am lord of this castle now.
493
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,109
What's this?
494
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,269
An order from the King
naming me Earl of Shiring.
495
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:14,390
How wonderful to be Earl of Shiring
and all that goes with it.
496
00:41:20,479 --> 00:41:22,749
My most precious privilege, of course,
497
00:41:23,879 --> 00:41:26,260
is I get to marry whomever I please.
498
00:41:29,439 --> 00:41:30,870
And here I am
499
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,109
with two beautiful choices.
500
00:41:38,959 --> 00:41:40,550
So hard to choose.
501
00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:44,870
She's just a child!
502
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,229
Not for long.
503
00:41:47,839 --> 00:41:49,310
You can't do this! Let her go!
504
00:41:49,399 --> 00:41:51,030
Who do you think you're talking to?
505
00:41:52,919 --> 00:41:54,910
You have no power over her.
506
00:41:58,200 --> 00:41:59,709
But I do.
507
00:42:06,479 --> 00:42:09,350
There is, however, one obvious alternative.
508
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,189
As your Bishop,
509
00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:18,749
I declare
510
00:42:18,839 --> 00:42:23,229
we are gathered here in the eyes of God
as witnesses to this holy union.
511
00:42:26,879 --> 00:42:28,470
And so I ask,
512
00:42:29,839 --> 00:42:33,229
do you, Ralph, Lord of Wigleigh,
Earl of Shiring
513
00:42:33,319 --> 00:42:36,669
take Philippa of Shiring
to be your lawful wife?
514
00:42:37,240 --> 00:42:38,269
I do.
515
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:39,899
Do yoU, Philippa,
516
00:42:40,359 --> 00:42:44,350
take Ralph of Shiring, Lord of Wigleigh
to be your lawful husband,
517
00:42:44,439 --> 00:42:45,950
to honour and obey
518
00:42:48,039 --> 00:42:49,669
so long as you shall live?
519
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:51,629
I do.
520
00:42:53,999 --> 00:42:55,269
You may kiss the bride.
521
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,350
Your Lord awaits you, Philippa.
522
00:43:28,319 --> 00:43:31,229
I know you married me against your will.
523
00:43:31,319 --> 00:43:33,990
I promise I will give you such happiness.
524
00:43:36,439 --> 00:43:37,830
Look at you.
525
00:43:37,919 --> 00:43:40,749
So beautiful. So peaceful.
526
00:43:40,839 --> 00:43:42,789
I've dreamt of this night.
527
00:43:43,919 --> 00:43:45,749
Kept me warm in France.
528
00:43:46,479 --> 00:43:48,830
You gave me strength in battle.
529
00:43:48,919 --> 00:43:51,109
The very thought of you kept me alive.
530
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:52,709
I sent her away.
531
00:43:57,519 --> 00:43:58,550
Who?
532
00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:01,910
Odila.
533
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,470
You can't have her.
534
00:44:06,839 --> 00:44:08,550
I don't want Odila.
535
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,189
I only wanted you.
536
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:25,870
You'll never have me.
537
00:44:35,919 --> 00:44:37,470
Philippa!
538
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,669
Philippa! Look at me!
539
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,030
Look at me!
