All language subtitles for The Lady Grace Mysteries s01e07 Masous Play

Sarah? Truth or dare? Truth.

Do you wish to be an actor?

It's a silly dream of mine. I promised
I'd keep her secret.

Oh, one more thing. It's my lucky coin.

I want you to have it. My mind is on
Lord Osborn.

You must play too, if you want him to
fall in love with you. My interest in

Osborn is purely professional.

He intercepted a message.

And that's not all. The traitor uses a
code name, Spiderweb. We've got to

figure out who it is before the Queen's
birthday.

We need to work together. We need a
plan.

Maybe.

Dunno. What about him?

You?

Or her?

It's definitely not him.

I don't know.

Behold, the suspect's board.

Since we found out the traitor's
codename and that there's an attack

planned soon... Queen's bath.

We've been busy.

Everyone here has direct access to the
Queen.

Any one of them could be Spiderweb.

Well, not anyone.

It's not me.

And it's not you, famously.

And it's definitely not Walsingham. No
man is more loyal.

Well, if you get Walsingham, I get
Ellie.

And, Matthew, he's been far too busy
working on his new play to find time to

be a traitor.

Great.

So...

That just leaves everyone else.

Too bad we can't just get them together
in a big room and ask, which one's

Spiderweb?

What if we could?

Good morning, Princess.

We wondered if you might like to walk
with us in the Tofri Gardens.

I hope to discuss the wonderful history
of your great empire.

And I hope to talk about your wardrobe,
because seriously, on point.

Sorry, I am otherwise engaged this
morning.

Maybe catch you later?

No! No, no, no, no. My first play must
be perfect. This is all wrong. I need to

rethink the fairy queen's big scene.
What? You're dismissed.

No, it's better.

I won't take it.

What in

the

name of good... Fairy Queen Lavinia is
this.

Come to our new play this afternoon.

Almost done.

Miss Lucille wasn't convinced, but I
worked my charm.

What charm?

I'm joking.

You are moderately charming.

So we invited everyone on our suspect
board.

We just need to make a few tweaks to
Miss Sue's play.

I've written a new scene where the actor
will speak the traitor's codename out

loud.

Then what?

Come to our new play.

Spiderweb's not just going to fess up,
are they?

Put yourself in Spiderweb's shoes.

You've been lurking at court for months.

Years, maybe.

Hiding a terrible secret.

OK.

Can you imagine living like that?

Not being able to tell the truth about
who you are. What you really feel.

Can't really relate.

Now imagine being surrounded by people
and suddenly hearing your secret

announced to the whole world.

Nightmare. A guilty person will react.

I'm sure of it.

Shifty look. A small girl with a
tightened grip.

And if they don't react?

Then they'll be rattled.

And rattled people make me think.

It's a flyer for a play.

My play. I know.

It's exciting.

My play isn't ready.

But it is.

It's great.

And people need to see it.

I'd even get a review if you'd look at
it.

Why haven't you asked me first?

Because I knew you'd say no.

So?

Do you say no?

And so Masu's play is finally going to
see the light of day. I've never seen

him so excited. And everyone's pulling
together to put on a show.

However, I still have to tell him that
we need to change some lines.

And why.

We're going to try and catch a traitor.

I just can't find the right moment.

There. I need you to rehearse that line,
okay? And you, my fairy queen,

brilliant. Just brilliant.

Masu, what do you think?

If you don't like anything, we can
change it. Today, I'm a playwright. You

can do with the staging what you want.
Just leave the words to me.

So, about those words.

My fairy queen! Can you walk?

The phrase break a leg was not meant to
be taken literally.

We've lost our lead actor.

Cancel everything.

Kill me too.

We can find someone else.

The fairy queen calls for someone
dynamic and confident. Someone totally

over the top.

Someone who lives to perform.

Who could we possibly find in such short
time?

And then Jack was like, I long for the
aroma of your hair on a warm summer's

day. You met him once, and you said it
was winter.

It's poetry, Jane. I wouldn't expect you
to understand.

Lady Sarah, I need your help. We really
need to make this play happen, but

Mathieu's lead actor is hurt.

I wondered if maybe you'd do it.

Me? Be the star.

No woman has ever performed at court.

The Queen won't allow it.

You have got her permission, haven't
you?

A woman on stage?

It's illegal.

Actually, it's not technically illegal.

Well, it's terribly bad luck.

Shush, Cecil.

If a woman can rule the country, she can
speak a few lines in a play.

So... It's a yes from me.

You and little Tessa will have the best
seats in the house.

Oh, marvellous.

Ta-da!

This is the last of the Forest Bay
outfits. Only the Fairy Queen's left to

go. But Grey says it needs to be a real
showstopper. Wherever will we find...

Way ahead of you.

It's the tool I wore for my grand
entrance.

Oh, no.

I'm so sorry.

But not everyone. Your star is here.
Star?

What star?

Have Masu meet your new fairy queen.

Honoured? I'm sure you are. I'll
obviously require a private dressing

room with someone to feed me grapes on
the hour.

Every hour.

Capisce? Now, where are my lines?

This is a catastrophe.

I mean, yeah, everything you've done for
Masu is amazing, but...

Sarah's the biggest attention seeker we
know.

Can you honestly think of anyone better
for this? We should postpone. Wait till

my fairy queen has recovered.

But the queen chose her.

The queen?

Uh-huh.

And she'll be at the performance?

Probably.

This is a good thing. She'll get to see
your amazing script in action.

Speaking of which, actually, I... It's
I, the good fairy queen, Lavinia. It's

Lavinia, not... Livania, if there's one
thing I beg of you, do not change my

precious words.

Uh-oh.

Sorry. What were you going to say? We
can wait.

It's not that bad if you squint.

And by squint, I mean close your eyes.

It's ruined.

What are you doing?

Improvising.

Come with me.

What? You can be part of my squad.

Join the tour?

You shine far too brightly to be heading
away with the servants here, Ellie.

But I've lived at the palace like my
whole life.

It's all I know. There's a whole world
of adventures out there.

You're going to love it.

Beautiful.

You're so talented.

I really feel like I'm in the forest.

It's come out all right, hasn't it?

I like the... leaves.

Thanks.

Anyway.

Okay.

And this is for the Fairy Queen's big
scene, a.k.a.

Spiderweb's book scene.

And when I pull this roll... The throne.

It's brilliant.

Was Monsieur okay with the new lines?

You still haven't asked them.

You kept distracting me with... scenery
and... more... scenery.

I'll do it now.

Tis I, the good fairy queen Lavinia,
beloved of all and ready to face my

loyal subjects before my fairy throne.

I had my doubts, but, Sarah, you were
born to play my queen. This is going to

be great.

I wasn't sure about this last line.
Nailed it.

Yes, you did.

You're about to make theatre history.

I just came to wish you luck.

Luck?

Who needs luck when you have talent,
right?

Right.

And since you're so talented, you won't
mind a tiny change to Queen Lavinia's

part. Nothing major. And then I think
we're good to go.

Um, I'm the writer.

This isn't a line change.

This is a whole new speech.

And it's nothing to do with the story.
It's about...

Horrid traitors and spiderwebs.

I can't learn all these lines in time.
Yes, you can.

I'll even give you this lucky coin to
make sure everything goes to plan.

I can't do this, Miss Sue.

What's going on?

Lady Grace has rewritten my script.

I haven't changed your story, I promise.

I'll talk Sarah through it.

Where is she?

And now you've spooked my lead.

I can't work like this. The play is
cancelled.

Again.

Miss Sue!

Please. The Queen... The Queen can
entertain herself another way. No, she

can't. This whole thing isn't about
helping Miss Sue, is it? It was.

It is. The urgency.

The line changes.

All this time we thought you were being
a good friend, but...

There's something else going on, isn't
there?

Listen.

The Queen is in grave danger.

Han must have used Masu's play to smoke
out the traitor.

You promised you'd never lie to us
again.

I wanted to help him too, I did. If that
were true, you'd have been honest from

the start.

Face it, you used Masu. You used us all.

How could I tell the truth when this is
how you'd react?

You could have just told us.

Instead of manipulating us, is that too
much to us?

You say you're our friend, but you don't
trust us, do you?

Ellie.

Enough.

This is my play, and it is high time I
took control of it. You, go sit in the

audience. Make sure you clap.

Loudly. You, find Sarah.

Give her the draft.

Tell her she's on in 30.

So we're going ahead?

The lines are not how I'd have written
them.

Way too on the nose.

But it must be important.

It is. I promise.

I'll find Sarah.

Sarah!

Sarah!

Oh, where is she? The play will start
soon.

I do love a play.

Especially if there's a good fight
scene. I love your earrings.

We're matching.

Ellie! Elle! Over here.

Can you budge up?

You okay?

I've been thinking about what you said.

Take your time.

It's a big decision coming.

Where is she?

I'm running out of time.

Welcome all to our tale, enchanting and
tall. The forest where our story begins.

A bright full moon, a whispering wind.

Sarah! Sarah!

It's just...

I put so much effort into learning the
old lines and you came at me with all

these new ones.

I'm sorry.

I've misled a lot of people today.

I should have been honest with you
earlier.

You're going to be amazing.

Someone is missing from our forest so
fast.

With a glint in her eye and flowers in
her hair.

But where is the queen who we seek above
all?

We're sure to find out after this brief
interval.

Where is

she? Where is my leading lady? Does any
of you know? She's on straight after the

interval and without your word...

Sarah!

Missed me?

I never thought I'd see this, but yeah,
I really did.

This isn't part of the costume.

I never take it off. It's a comfort to
me. Back on track.

But I need to talk to Osborne to see if
he's noticed anything.

I'm here.

Everyone in place?

Anything look off?

Only Ralph's new centre part in.

Are you here, Spiderweb?

Could it be you, Lord Cecil?

What about you, Lord Hatton?

You look very stuffed today, Lady
Iverson.

And so do you, Lord Reddy.

Well, well, well.

And where have you been, Lady Jane?

Using treason, perhaps.

That's my cue.

Good luck.

And you.

Time to catch a spider.

Here we go.

First woman on stage.

You'll be proud, Lady Sarah.

Come on, Sarah, you've got this.

Tis I, the good fairy queen Lavinia,
beloved of all, and ready

to face my loyal subjects before my
fairy throne.

Just keep going, Sarah.

What's going on?

Throne or no throne, I must speak of a
secret known only to myself.

There is a traitor sneaking around my
court.

They think I don't know.

They think that I don't see them.

But I see all, and I know their name. I
challenge you.

and defy me to my face.

Spiderweb.

Elizabeth must fall.

Who did this?

To Santa Queen.

Please.

Tell me this was part of your new theme.

No.

This was Spiderweb.

Did you see the Queen's face?

She won't like this at all.

Grace.

Change of plan.

We're leaving before sundown.

If you're still coming.

I'll just pack my stuff.

Spiderweb must have known about our
plan.

After Tara's reaction to the new lines,
everyone from A to Timbuktu knew.

So, they got ahead of us.

Another retreat.

Batten the hatches and leave an old
trace you just watched.

They blew it.

Our only chance.

I think of a new plan.

What?

We did rattle them.

Just not in the way that we thought.

What do rattled people do?

Amen. Thanks.

Why?

Good night, Gracie.

Oh, Gracie.

What are we going to do with you?

She just needs to sleep it off, that's
all.

Thank you for bringing her home, Lord
Osborne.

What is it they say?

What doesn't kill you makes you
stronger.

I've learnt a lot of lessons today.

When to push forward.

When to hold back.

You're not coming, are you?

When to stop and admit the cold, hard
truth.

Spiderweb is faster than me.

Stronger. And smarter.

And it feels like they're winning.
