I want you to be my personal spy.

Are you serious?

So could Sarah leave over tonight? That's nice of Sarah. She is actually

quite nice. Stop! Stay back! It's like a touch of dark what meets death. There's

something wrong with that crown.

It's your ruby. I think it's melted.

This is a spider web.

Elizabeth must fall.

Who are you?

What's really inside of your heart? You are a spider web. Well done, Grace.

Finally thought of it. Let's go for that walk.

What's the plan?

Oh. Careful.

If that goes off, we're all goners. We'll never come to that.

The birthday plans will continue.

I just don't have a taste for murder.

Well, luckily, I do.

No! Grace!

No! Whatever it takes. I'm sorry. I will keep you safe.

Grace? Grace!

She's not here.

Oh.

Someone was.

Could it have been Grace?

Well, whoever it was drank this.

What is it?

It belongs to the artist Hilliard. It's a tonic to protect from poison.

But why would Grace need an antidote?

Lady Sarah! Lady Sarah!

Ellie! Miss Sue! I promise I will never ignore a bad feeling again.

Whatever mess you may be in, I swear I'll be understanding. Just shout if you

can hear me. Can you hear me? You guys have to warn the Queen!

She's not here.

Miss Sue, look.

Oh, yeah.

Grace's locket. She never takes it off, ever.

Where did you find it?

On Sarah's dressing table, on top of this paper.

Right on top of it.

Hold on.

Clever. Grace taught me.

Let me read it. No.

It says, get rid of Lady Grace.

Whoa.

Lady Sarah Spiderweb.

Wait.

Spider what now?

Completely unnecessary.

Pull yourself together.

I've had Grace under control.

That girl's never been under control.

She was trouble.

She was just a girl.

Well, it's done now.

There's no turning back.

We're doing what's right for this country.

When the guests are in, bar the doors.

Elizabeth will do her speech, and then the reign of the true queen, Mary, shall

begin.

It is a perfect plan.

And that's because it is my first.

Well, it better work.

All right.

Game on.

This is splendid, isn't it? I'm rather partial to a robe.

Sir?

You could at least try a smile. It is a party, after all.

Osborne isn't back.

We went looking for Grace. She is also not back.

Any one of the people in this room could be the traitor.

Forgive me if I'm not in a party mood.

We'll let the Queen do her speech, and then we'll get her out of here.

Deal?

Deal.

Go and check on the Majesty.

Oh, what a lovely party.

Typical of Elizabeth, wanting to spend her big day with everyone.

You're always so right.

She came out well, as did all the ladies.

Thank you for finally joining us, Lady Sarah.

Sorting out my present for the Queen, of course. You missed rehearsals. Monsieur

Pierre was having le break down.

No, Grace!

No, Grace!

No! Well, shut up, Jane.

How

is

the speech looking, Your Majesty?

It looks forward.

It does not dwell on the sorry events of our past.

Right. Yes.

Keep it positive.

Keep it light.

Yes, well, today should be a lot of fun.

Oh! Oh!

It looked pretty, this ceremonial sword, but it's sharp as anything.

Hopefully it's the only bad thing that happens today.

Come on.

Come on, please!

The rope is too tight.

The Queen will enter any minute now.

And there's nothing I can do.

I haven't felt this powerless since.

Since the day my mother died.

I hate that feeling.

It's the one I fear the most.

So I don't let it in.

Ever. And now, ladies and gentlemen of the court, the moment you've all been

waiting for. Let's give it up for the birthday girl herself, Queen Elizabeth!

The queen's arriving.

Come on.

I won't let them hurt her.

Come on.

He must get back. The Queen could be in danger. We need to find Grace.

We'll split up. Ralph and I will go warn the Queen. You two keep looking for

Grace. But what if she's with Sarah? And if I'm scared of Sarah?

You should be.

Spiderweb is clever and ruthless. I can't believe we're still talking about

Sarah. I always knew she was evil. It just doesn't make any sense.

Lady Sarah is the sweetest, kindest young lady I've ever had the pleasure to

meet. She's thoughtful and gentle and she's always so interested in what I've

been up to.

Like when the Queen went missing and I told her I'd built the secret tunnel

and...

I might know where Grace is.

Grace! Ellie.

We're going to get you out. No, wait. There's poison. It's still strong. If

you open the door now, it'll overcome you.

I've taken an antidote. We know.

Let's see who grabs some rope.

Just do it. Hurry up.

Are you all right? I think the antidote's wearing off. I can't find any

rope. I'm sorry, Ellie.

I shouldn't have tried to fix this on my own.

You were right all along.

Yes, I was.

Next time you go off and make friends with a murderous traitor, do not expect

me to come running. I found some rope.

Undo the bolt and loop the rope around the handle and then get back as far away

as you can.

Hang in there, Grace.

Quick, quick.

Are you guys far away enough?

Are we?

We're fine.

dealing with her.

She's not alone.

There's a group of traitors and they've got a weapon.

I saw it in the tunnel.

We have to go and stop them.

Quick, come on!

Let us through.

It's urgent.

Oswald. Sir, there's something I need to... Listen carefully. Don't react.

There are men in this room who are not ours.

That's Parnes. We need to get the Queen out of here.

Now.

Wait, sir, wait. Your Majesty.

You must leave.

Sarah is Spiderweb.

What? She's the traitor.

Lady Sarah?

If you do that, everyone dies.

See that pile of presents over there?

One of them is particularly special. A new kind of weapon, packed with

gunpowder. I won't let you hurt my people. I'm counting on that.

We won't let the bomb go off.

So long as you read your speech.

Not that one.

This.

This isn't just your birthday.

It's the day you give up your throne.

What is it?

That's one of them.

There's the tunnel that leads from the back room of the stage.

We can get in that way.

Your Majesty, you cannot simply abdicate.

If I don't, innocent people will die. I know, but there are proper ways of doing

things, at least in every war in the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Those words are written in law.

They are binding.

She is right.

If I say these words aloud, I shall no longer be queen.

Have a girl.

Disarm them.

Don't tell me, Ruffian.

A man in my position has no need of a sword.

They're surrounded.

The guards.

They're all bandit people.

Traitors. What are they waiting for?

I know what I must do.

That's not the Queen's notepaper. Whatever she's about to say, those are

not her words.

I will play my part, but allow me to be with my people one last time.

Very well.

Take heart, Jane.

All will be well.

My dear friends, I must say a few words.

I have a speech here, one for the history books, it would seem.

But before that, I would like to talk honestly for a moment about the past.

The good and the bad.

Mostly bad.

All the reasons I shouldn't be queen.

And there are so many reasons, aren't there?

She can't say stuff like that, can she? Sounds like she's giving up.

She would never.

She might.

That was a very good reason.

My birth should have brought unity and security for the country, which I didn't

play along, did I? My father had promised everyone a boy, and I showed up

and ruined everything.

And then, by accident of history... They're all captivated by her speech.

Remember what you always say about the best tricks, Missy? Make you look the

other way.

That's what the Queen is doing. She's making you look to her and... Away from

what? And then I couldn't even find a husband.

We're just going to give the Queen a birthday present.

Mary has one.

Sarah said they were going to give the Queen a present. That's where the weapon

is. Okay, you two go out into the crowd and warn our people. We can do that.

What are you going to do?

I need to find that present.

Mary. She would make a good queen.

A stable queen.

A much neater option than I.

A queen that makes sense.

On paper.

A queen's a danger. Be prepared.

Not a complicated, strange queen like the one I've done before you. Be

prepared.

Trying her best to be a ruler but also a human. What man?

Because...

Can you use it? Not as well as you? Very well.

There's trouble.

Aren't you great as a man?

Give us a foot.

Stay sharp.

These things that I know you've all been thinking about me. But I blame you.

For any of it.

I have, um... Been given these words today.

Perhaps there is something in them.

But enough of this!

Uncle, no!

Enough of this tittle-tattle, woman!

Just say the words!

And be done with it.

No one tells me what to do.

Now! All those loyal to the Queen of England, fight!

All those loyal to the true Queen, fight!

Protect the

Queen!

No, no, no. That was not the plan.

That was not the plan at all.

Hey!

I can't believe you're here. How do I stop it? You don't. The queen has to

read her speech first. Your plan hasn't worked. She's not going to do it.

Then she knows what will happen. This will explode and it will all be over for

all of us. You don't want that.

If there's one thing I've learned about you, it's that you love being alive.

I've seen it in your eyes so many times.

The way you looked when you first told me you wanted to act.

The way you looked when you walked on that stage.

The joy you took in your painting.

The pain you felt when it burned.

Stop trying to get in my head. You've got dreams.

And so does everyone in this room.

I don't care.

That's not true.

You can't help yourself.

When your uncle threw the poison in, you didn't want me to die.

He called you Kat.

Is that your real name?

It's Catherine.

Okay.

Catherine.

Please.

Show me how to stop this.

Come on, man.

You put the key in there and turn.

Turn it. I did turn it.

I must have done it the wrong way.

That's not good. We can't save the others, but we can save ourselves.

We have to go. Now.

To the left.

Not with the bomb, Grace.

What are you doing?

Jane. No bother.

Felt like the right thing.

Miss Sue, come on. Grace has got the weapon.

I take him.

No, you don't!

Your Majesty, the day is won.

I believe the key didn't work.

You tried.

That's all that matters.

I did try.

Didn't I?

I'm just a girl with a dream who made a couple of mistakes.

A couple?

And when it really counted, I did the right thing. You tried to save yourself

and leave everyone to die.

I wish I hadn't listened to my uncle.

You don't want to send me to the tower.

You know what happens to traitors.

Well, you're still a traitor.

But... I'll tell the Queen you tried to stop the bomb.

Let me go, Grace.

No one will ever know.

We're friends.

Aren't we? We are.

And that's what makes this so hard.

Get off me!

It's over.

Cat.

Chris. I thought we had the explosion and that...

I am glad you're well. I am well.

Thank you.

And I need to talk to the Queen.

What is this?

Well, I think that went splendidly. A most memorable birthday party all round.

One for the history books.

Are you serious?

This is the diary of Lady Grace Cavendish. This may be my last diary

entry for a while.

These pages have been filled with treachery and plots and traitors.

A lot of saying sorry to Ellie.

But for now, all is good.

Ellie has had some exciting news from her brother.

He's on his way home.

Mr. is writing a new play based on the Queen's birthday.

He settled his promise to send the script to the master of theatres in

London.

The Bird King is on his way up.

After the epic events of the Queen's birthday, Walsingham raided the Chestnut

Tree Cavern and basically found Traitor Central.

Burns and his cronies have been using the cellar as a base to run their

operations. Walsingham found letters from Mary herself.

They tracked down the real Lady Sarah at a French court.

She had no idea someone had stolen her identity.

Sarah's real name was Catherine Burns.

She's a jeweller's daughter from London.

She's smart and driven.

And brave.

And in another world, we would have been friends.

Thank you, Ralph.

Your gentle ways won't work on us this time.

Lady, whatever your name is.

To be honest, I'm pretty sure that's not the end of the story for someone as

resourceful as Catherine Burns.

Anyway, palace is traitor-free, the Queen is safe, and England is at peace.

Which is kind of boring.

I need something to happen.

Grace. Lord Osborne.

You are a world-class lurker. I need... What?

Good. You've found her.

Listen up, both of you. This can't wait.

Where have you been? I'm sorry.

That's classified.

I'm kidding.

I have some good news.

The Queen has given me a new mission.

And Waltham says it could be dangerous.

Sounds epic.

I'm proud of you. I'll tell you all about it.

But first, let's eat these, shall we?

Do you really think she's ready for this?

She'll have to be.

She's our only hope.
