Reign (2013–2017): Season 3, Episode 15 - Safe Passage - full transcript

Lola tells Mary she may have a chance to get to Scotland. A murder takes place and Catherine is framed for it. Mary must decide if she should help Catherine or leave for Scotland. If Mary helps Catherine it could eliminate the possibility of safe passage to Scotland.

Previously on Reign...

You had your daughter, Claude, beaten,

so that you could
steal the regency back.

And you are a murderer.

We are no longer lovers, Christophe,

just two people who keep
each other's secrets.

If Rome could give me
a few more soldiers,

I might actually be able
to take my country back

from rebels like the
Protestant John Knox.

We can help you buy an army.

You and father executed 13 knights



simply because you couldn't pay them.

I'm under attack by a rogue group

calling themselves the Red Knights.

General Gaghan, we need the French Army

to secure the throne.

As soon as my soldiers are fully paid

for their service in Scotland.

Then tell your generals
they will receive

the money their men are owed

at the feast in their honor.

Oh, my God.

Your generals. Who did this?

It was the Red Knights.

They left their calling
card in my chambers.



And they have poisoned

every glass except for ours.

Which means they were able
to get inside the castle.

I just bled in a damned fighting pit

to get these men the
gold they were owed.

So they could finally pay their soldiers

for the Scottish campaign.

And who will believe that now?

To the rest of your army, it looks like

you slaughtered the generals

to avoid paying off your military debts.

He's right.

This happened under our roof.

Charles and I will be blamed for this.

That's what the Red Knights want.

To frame you,

so the army rises up against the Valois,

to incite rebellion.

Then our task is simple.

The soldiers must never
know this happened.

No one can know.

How do you keep nine
dead generals a secret?

We bury the bodies.

Who knew about this dinner?

Well, countless people...
their wives, their friends,

their secretaries.

Those people knew they were invited.

Who knew they actually arrived?

No one except us, really,
and a handful of servants.

We need to keep the servants quiet.

Bash, gather them up.

Offer them bribes for their silence.

If they refuse, tell them
I'll cut off their heads!

Somehow I doubt they'll refuse.

My land's not far from here.

I have a place where we
can bury them discreetly.

Catherine, listen to me.

You are not responsible for this.

The Red Knights are,

and they will pay for
what they have done.

Until then, we must
be united in our story.

The generals never arrived.

And when word spreads
of their disappearance,

which it will, we will be

as shocked and disturbed
as everyone else.

Let's get to work.

Charles.

Bash.

What you said earlier,
about coming to Scotland.

It made me happy to think
of having you by my side,

but now, both of our
circumstances have changed.

The entire Valois
family is under attack.

Mary, if you don't go
back to Scotland soon,

John Knox and his fellow Protestants

will dissolve your throne.

You'll lose your country.

What happened to these
generals isn't your burden.

Catherine and her family are united.

These knights will be crushed,
and life here will go on.

You're right.

My purpose lies elsewhere.

But yours is here, in France.

Charles and Claude must be protected,

and Margot and the younger
ones could return at any time.

You should stay here with your family.

Very well.

When you leave for
Scotland, I will stay behind.

So what do you suggest, General?

Bringing the ships in for maintenance

at the end of the month.

I can have them back on the
North Sea in a week's time.

A week?

Is it wise to leave the North Sea

unpatrolled for so long?

We'll have no English ships

to police for piracy, but
it's an acceptable risk.

Your Majesty,

our ships are deteriorating,
and if we don't attend to them,

I fear they will soon be beyond repair.

It is a relatively quiet time

on the North Sea.

I suppose a week is a small price to pay

to maintain our fleet.

Fine, then.

Bring them ashore.

Now, what of the Southern Coast?

That is a different story, Your Majesty.

The Spanish show no regard
for our trade routes.

My dear friend, how anxious you must be

to return home at month's end.

I was told our cousins in Whitby,

Muirfield and Eyemouth
gathered recently.

Your father...

the good admiral, could not be present.

He'll be detained for
five to seven days.

Charles, I was looking for you.

Delphine, what are you doing here?

It's good to see you, too, Bash.

Of course, I, uh, just
wasn't expecting to see...

I summoned her here to
return as my new court seer.

We need her gifts.

The Red Knights are hiding amongst us,

likely here in court.

Delphine's touch looks
into men's hearts,

revealing who is friend and who is foe.

Charles, can I have a-a
word alone with Delphine?

Of course.

I can't involve you
in this investigation.

When you helped me
pursue the heart-killer,

it nearly destroyed you.

Bash, I am healed.

And I'm ready to start over.

When I left court, you
promised you'd wait for me.

Has something changed?

What is it?

Do you have feelings for another?

I'm sorry.

I genuinely care for
you, but I-I can't deny...

Then don't.

I promised the king my help,
and I will keep my promise.

Lord Narcisse.

It's lord chancellor now.

Catherine promoted me.

Well, I am very happy for you.

However, I have a lot of work to do.

I received a message
this morning from Lola,

smuggled out of England
by our fellow Catholics.

After the dozens of letters
that I've written my wife,

that all went unanswered,
imagine my surprise

when I realized this
was not a letter to me,

but a coded message for you.

Oh, she's naming coastal towns.

And mentions my father, an admiral,

who will be absent on my
return home at month's end.

She's saying there's
a week when I can have

safe passage across the North Sea.

When the English Navy will not be

patrolling the area.

But this letter was written days ago.

If I want to cross the seas
without English interference,

that means I'd have to leave...

Now would be wise.

It's really happening.

Finally, after all these years.

I'm going home.

We're conducting
searches in every chamber

to see if the poison is still here.

If we can find the person responsible,

maybe we can prevent a rebellion.

Christophe.

You're supposed to be on patrol.

The queen regent asked for me.

I thought you two were finished.

The whims of a ruler.

Right.

Well, I'll leave you to it.

I don't appreciate you inviting yourself

to my chambers publicly.

And now is not a good time.

Why not?

- Something wrong?
- I’m fine.

I overheard you planning
some kind of feast

in the Great Hall the other night.

But you didn't call for
servants to clear it afterwards,

which is odd.

And you took a long time
to return to your chambers.

Do you always follow me?

Tracking my every movement?

It's a game I play sometimes
to keep my mind entertained.

I pretend

you are my prey, but I don't kill you.

I'm trying to be better,
so we can be close again.

So you can tell me whatever
it is that's troubling you.

Because I like to make a point

of telling my blackmailer everything.

Come now.

I'm more than your blackmailer.

Yes, you're a man who
murders for pleasure,

as you've just reminded me.

A killer with a contingency letter

hanging over my head,

in case anything should happen to you.

You know my secrets.

And I know yours.

You had your own daughter
beaten to reclaim the regency.

And I've gone so long without a kill.

I don't know why you
rule out a future for us.

I don't.

Please go away.

Tell me why that feast
has you so anxious.

And if you don't tell me yourself,

I'll find out on my own.

Christophe, you know that thing
that you've always wanted to do?

Well, stop asking questions,

and I'll let you do it.

Ambassador Blackburn, as casmanded,

you dismantled the marriage alliance

between Queen Mary and Don Carlos,

extracted information from the queen,

and even helped Dudley foil an
assassination plot against me.

You have proven your loyalty to me,

and your value.

My loyalty is undying, Your Majesty.

But I must confess, I am
curious to how things ended

between you and the Scottish queen.

She has a reputation for bewitching men.

Did you fall under Mary's spell?

Honestly?

There were times where I
could envision falling in love

with the queen of Scots,
but not in this life.

You are my queen.

I was born an Englishman
and I will die an Englishman.

I have decided to reward your service

with a position here at court.

I will be giving you the chance to work

closely with me from now on.

Do not make me regret that choice.

You won't, Your Majesty.

They could strike at any moment.

Bash.

I've been looking for you everywhere.

I'm sorry I've been so busy.

The castle is on high alert
because of the Red Knights.

You seem uneasy. What's wrong?

Last night, when I was
walking the castle halls alone,

I felt something.

It wasn't these Red Knights.

Bash, I think the killer
we sought is still alive.

I felt him right here

inside the castle with us.

Are you sure?

He was caught and executed.

I know, but last night, I felt him.

His hands were tightening
around a woman's bare throat.

So you're saying a woman was strangled?

No. He didn't kill her.

He didn't want to because this
woman protects him somehow.

He needs her.

My lord, the queen
regent is asking for you.

Urgently.

I appreciate your telling me this.

I have to go help Catherine,

but wait for me in your chambers,

and we'll look into this,

after I deal with these Red Knights.

Of course.

Uh, Catherine, there's
something you need to know.

I'll be returning to Scotland
sooner than I had planned.

Well, how much sooner?

I'm mobilizing my forces now.

Why now?

Lola sent me some critical information.

There's only a small window

in which the English
Navy cannot stop me.

But I-I know you're dealing
with your own crisis.

I have the situation under control.

No need to feel guilty about leaving.

I've buried the bodies.
I've bribed the witnesses.

The soldiers that served the generals

will be arriving imminently,

and when they do, I will simply

explain that their
superiors never appeared.

I will pay them the gold, and
France will have a loyal army

to defend us against
these so-called knights.

It seems you've thought of everything.

Well, I know you'll...

It came from outside!

Quickly, to the courtyard!

Quickly!

Oh, God. The generals.

Guards... guards, take them down!

Remove them immediately!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Secure the gates!

Catherine.

It's too late.

Whoa. Whoa.

They've murdered our
brothers, our generals!

Down with the Valois!

Murderers!

They're going to tell
every soldier in France

that I'm responsible for this atrocity.

Move out!

Move out, back to camp!

And if they band together,
they'll destroy you.

You said that you buried the bodies!

Instead, their heads end up on pikes.

How did this happen?!

The Red Knights must have followed us

the night we left the
castle and dug them up.

France's military thinks that
I have murdered their own.

This is how revolutions begin.

A disenfranchised army

turns against its rulers.

If you tell the truth, the
soldiers may listen to reason.

You could try to sate
them with the gold,

but if you want my
counsel as lord chancellor,

you need reinforcements

to defend the castle.

And Mary has an army of
mercenaries not far from here.

You know that Mary is sailing

into a hostile nation of Protestants.

She must leave immediately.

She needs her mercenaries
for her own protection.

If this situation explodes,
it is better for Mary

to incur losses than you.

You really do despise her.

She sent my son to his death.

He may not have been
a son to be proud of,

but he was mine, nevertheless.

And when Lola had doubts
about my commitment to her,

it was Mary who fanned
the flames of our discord,

driving her across
the channel to England.

So, no, I do not care for her.

Catherine,

you are fighting a war

of your own now, and you cannot afford

to protect Mary any longer.

Queen Mary.

As you intend to race off
to Scotland, I'm curious,

what will you do about Lola?

What do you mean?

She's still in England.

And once your military campaign

to reclaim your Scottish
throne goes public,

well, I don't imagine
Elizabeth will react well.

Are you really playing
the concerned husband now?

You are Elizabeth's rival.

Once you're ruling on England's borders,

then Lola's value as a
hostage increases tenfold.

Elizabeth will keep my
wife captive forever.

But I don't suppose that even
crossed your mind, did it?

Actually, it did.

And while you've been
chasing power here in France,

I have already set into motion
a plan to return Lola home,

before I reach Scotland.

And what exactly have
you done, Lord Chancellor?

Lola wants nothing to do with me.

Oh, so that's it, then.

You've just given up on the woman

you vowed to spend the
rest of your life with.

I love my wife.

No, you love power.

Time and again,

you've proven that power
is what you most desire.

And that is why you lost her.

You want to judge my choices?

Do you?

As you run off to reclaim your throne,

you are throwing
Catherine to the wolves.

I can see just how
much she means to you.

Ambassador Blackburn.

Lady Lola. You remember me.

Yes. You extended

Elizabeth's invitation
for me to visit England.

I've been visiting ever since.

I was hoping we could
have a private word.

Would you take John to the stables?

He loves to see the horses.

Hmm.

Is it about Mary?

Is she all right?

She's fine.

This is actually about you.

I gave my word to Mary
that when I returned

to England, I would help to free you.

Of course,

it will take time.

And this was Mary's request?

You have every right to be cautious,

considering I work for
Elizabeth, but you should know,

Mary did much for me during
my time at French court.

Elizabeth held my daughter
Agatha as leverage.

Mary helped me get her back.

And when the Catholic
Church threatened to send me

to the gallows, your friend and queen

helped save my life.

I owe her everything.

You care for her.

I killed a man to protect her.

So believe me when I say I'm
on Mary's side, and yours.

You have a friend here.

Very well.

If you can find

me and my son a way out
of here, we will take it.

I've decided to stay in France.

What?

For a while longer, anyway.

You may face an attack
from your own military,

so I've decided to use my
mercenaries to protect you.

Until the threat of a revolt has passed.

I'll find another way
to get back to Scotland.

Catherine, we have to focus.

We? I've already told you once,

I have this under control.

France will handle this threat alone.

Catherine, royals

fall when their armies
turn against them.

So you're going to sacrifice

your Scottish throne
for France, is that it?

Have you learned nothing?

This country has already
sacrificed too much

on Scotland's behalf.

You mustn't make the same mistake now.

We both know that safe
passage to Scotland

may never come again.

And you need your mercenaries

to protect you against the Protestants.

Men who are dissolving
your throne as we speak.

But you need help.

I need you to go.

The more we try

to help each other, the more harm we do.

You must see that now.

It is time that we
move forth on our own,

as queens of separate nations.

You're right.

I can't afford to
risk my future for you.

But after all we've been through...

is this how you want to say good-bye?

Having you here,

it has kept some part
of Francis alive for me.

Saying good-bye...

it's like having to say
good-bye to him all over again.

You must go home and
reclaim your throne.

Your destiny lies in
Scotland. It always has.

And I will not stand in the way of it.

Go take back your country.

What will you do if the
soldiers come for you?

I will figure something out.

I always do.

Send word once you've
arrived in Edinburgh.

I will, Your Majesty.

I take it you couldn't
convince Catherine

to accept your help.

No. Stubborn till the very end.

Take care of her, won't you?

I remember when I first came here.

Stepping out of the carriage,

everyone lined up to welcome me.

I was so nervous.

But at least I had my friends,

Kenna, Aylee, Greer, Lola.

And then I saw you and Francis...

and somehow I knew that everything

was going to be all right.

Now I'm leaving alone.

It's just

not what I imagined.

I have something for you.

Before he died,

Francis asked me to give this to you

the day you left for Scotland.

Thank you, Bash.

I'm not ready to open it just yet.

Please put it in the carriage.

You've been a true friend to me, Bash.

More than a friend.

My family.

Good-bye, Mary.

I will miss you, Bash.

Queen Elizabeth. You sent for me?

I just received this
letter from John Knox.

He and his Protestant lords in Scotland

are looking to dissolve Mary's throne.

And he's asking me,

as a fellow Protestant,
to help support him

when Mary's Catholic followers resist.

Elizabeth, you cannot be on his side,

no matter how badly you
want to weaken your rival.

His hatred of women in
power is unparalleled.

But you already know that.

And you know that I
would never advise you

to do something against Mary,

so why are you bringing this to me?

I'd like some advice.

From me?

Yes.

I don't like John Knox,

and I want to refuse him, as
you so passionately suggest,

but he'd make an unpleasant enemy,

and I don't want to ask the other men

on my council for advice.

So I'm asking you,

as a woman and as a Scot,
how do I say no to him

without making him my
enemy and alienating

my Protestant supporters in Scotland?

Allies he essentially controls.

Perhaps it's best to
outright refuse him.

Be brutal and direct.

Or you simply don't answer.

If you refuse John Knox,

as you suggest, it tells
him you are a decisive

and formidable ruler
who will not be bullied.

Which I am.

Which is what he really hates.

So stall.

Avoid a decision he can rail against.

Let him think you are
indecisive, innocuous...

- Feminine.
- Tell him you need to consult

with your advisors, search your heart

and read the Scriptures...
he'll like that part.

Lady Lola...

I'm truly impressed.

I will take your advice.

I heard Elizabeth sent for you.

Is everything all right?

Elizabeth just asked for my advice,

and she's taking it.

I have her ear, Gideon.

She's starting to trust me.

Elizabeth is a Tudor.

And like her father,

she has a habit of turning
on those she trusts.

The closer you get, the
more dangerous she becomes.

And yet, think of what my relationship

with her could mean for Mary.

Tell me you're not having
second thoughts about leaving.

Of course not.

When you can get me out
of here, I will flee.

But while I'm here, I'm helping Mary.

Do you realize that
she might be on her way

to Scotland as we speak,

because of information I acquired?

What kind of information?

I overheard that the North
Sea is unpatrolled as of now.

That makes your situation
even more urgent.

If Mary's headed to Scotland,
she will have an army with her,

courtesy of the Vatican.

Well, yes, I assumed as much.

Elizabeth will feel threatened.

And when Mary lands on
Scottish soil with armed forces,

you become a more valuable hostage.

And Elizabeth might decide

to keep you and your
son here indefinitely.

We don't have as much time as I'd hoped.

You need to work faster on my escape.

Whatever you have to do,
whomever you have to bribe,

do it.

I'll have you moved to your
new chambers once they're ready.

You'll find I spared no expense.

My royal seer deserves only the best.

You've been very kind
to me, Your Majesty.

We all remember what
you did for Francis.

Those extra few days we spent with him,

they meant the world to my family.

I gladly serve the Valois.

And I'll do whatever I can to
help unmask these Red Knights

who hide in your midst.

Your Majesty!

Oh, forgive me.

You should be more careful, miss.

Oh, it's you!

Shh.

Shh. Shh.

I shouldn't have brought her here.

This is my fault.

"Death to all friends of the Valois."

Charles, you shouldn't be here.

It's the Red Knights.

They killed Delphine before
she could expose them.

Please take the king back to his
chambers and guard him closely.

- Were there no witnesses?
- No, my lord.

Christophe found her body

and alerted us.

Catherine.

Too many terrible things
have happened today.

I'm so sorry Sebastian.

I know how dear that
Delphine was to you.

She didn't deserve this.

Catherine. Your neck.

What happened? Who did that to you?

- I'm fine.
- Were you attacked?

Those bruises can't
be more than a day old.

Let it go, Sebastian.

Why?

Are you protecting someone?

You're involved with Christophe again.

Did he do that to you?

It was consensual.

He's not trying to kill me. He merely...

He tightens his hands around my throat.

It increases the sensation.

He's not going to harm

a queen who ensures his station.

He needs me.

It's fine. I'm fine.

Queen regent.

One of the lieutenants who served

General Gaghan is here.

He wants to speak with you at once.

Excuse me.

Lieutenant Gambon.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I want to assure you that the Valois

were not behind the
murder of General Gaghan,

or the other generals
who were slaughtered.

We'd like to thank you
for coming here today

to speak with us in the
wake of this tragedy.

We came to collect the
bodies of our fallen generals.

And to demand that you
surrender your person

- to a military tribunal.
- I beg your pardon?

You murdered our superiors

to avoid paying the debt
for our armed service.

My mother did no such thing.

There's a conspiracy. She's been framed.

Lieutenant, there are sinister
forces working against me.

And that is why I
called the generals here.

You will have your chance to explain.

In one hour, I shall return
with the rest of the men.

More than a hundred armed soldiers

will convene outside your gates.

I have the gold and I can
pay you what you're owed.

It's not about gold anymore.

We want justice.

You talk of justice while
you threaten your regent.

With respect, Your Majesty,
the queen struck the first blow.

If she does not surrender,

we will strike back,

and this castle will burn to ashes.

We've nearly finished
getting the supplies aboard.

Based on the timetable you've laid out,

in order to cross the seas
before the English navy return,

we should leave immediately.

My dearest Mary,

if you're reading this,
then you are leaving France

to reclaim your Scottish throne.

I always knew this day would come,

and I wish I could be at
your side as you set sail

to take back what is yours.

In the darkest of times,
you were my conscience.

Your heart was a light, Mary,

and it burned so very bright for France.

No matter how far you go,
that light will burn forever.

I have left you a gift,

something I made for you
to fight for what is yours,

and for what you know
in your heart is right.

I love you, Mary Stuart. Forever.

Captain.

Gather the men.

We're going back to the castle,

and we must be prepared for a fight.

Queen Mary,

time is precious,

and so are your soldiers.

You can't afford to risk them now.

I gave you an order.

Tell the men we are going back.

I have one more thing I have to do.

Bash.

What are you doing here?

Before she was murdered,

Delphine warned me the
heart-killer might still be alive.

She sensed his presence
here in this very castle.

She felt his hands tightening
around a woman's throat,

a woman who protected him.

I saw the bruises on Catherine's neck.

Bash, I'm sorry for your loss.

It was you all along.

You are a liar and a murderer.

You're insane! I am a kingsguard!

You were.

Thanks to Catherine.

As the king's deputy,

I'm relieving you of your duty.

Catherine was protecting you.

How much did she know?

She knew everything.

I had information on her, leverage.

It's all written down in a
letter, my crimes and hers.

You let me live, I'll
tell you where it is.

It's enough to strip her of the regency?

Yes.

Then we're agreed.

The letter's being held in the village,

at a tavern just east of the Blood Wood.

I think I need a tourniquet.

Why?

So you can kill again?

I don't think so.

We don't have enough guards

to defend the castle if
those soldiers attack.

That won't happen.

I won't let anyone harm my family.

I plan to address my accusers directly,

pay them, and tell them
I'm not their enemy.

Make way for the queen
regent. Make way for the king.

Queen Catherine!

Open the gates and surrender!

If you come quietly,

you have my word, no family member

will be harmed.

If you kill me,

the true murderers will roam free.

I know you men are angry, but...

Open the gate!

Stand down. Everyone stand down!

I'm going out there.

Stephan, take Charles back inside

- and barricade the doors.
- Yes.

- I'll talk them down.
- Your Majesty.

Charles, go.

Hold the gate!

What the hell is that?

Men!

- My lord!
- Yes, my lord!

Ho.

Draw! ‭Draw your weapons!

To arms!

- What are they doing?
- Don't know.

Why is she riding? ‭Who is it?

Make way. Let her through.

Who is it?

Move! Move!

I am Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots.

Who is your commander?

Order your men to stand down.

Queen Mary,

we fought on your behalf in Scotland,

and now you ride against us.

I have come to defend the queen regent

because she did not

kill your generals.

Listen to me, all of you!

Queen Catherine is innocent.

There is a secret faction

working against the Valois.

Murderers who seek to frame
Catherine, France's regent,

and plunge the realm

into chaos and terror.

If you turn against her,

you turn against France.

And I will fight you
like I would fight them.

To the death.

I am asking you, as Frenchmen,

to make the right choice today.

Catherine is still your queen.

France is still your country, your home,

as it has been mine since I was a child.

This is our country!

We cannot afford to let it burn.

We must listen to our conscience

and make the right choice.

So choose now.

- For France.
- Arms down.

- For the queen.
- For you, my queen.

- Fall back.
- Back to camp.

They're leaving.

Mary, she... she saved you.

Hyah!

See that everything's secure.

Catherine. I heard about Christophe.

You all right?

Oh, I'm fine. I mean, it was a shock.

Bash said that he murdered
that poor Delphine.

He was the one behind those
gruesome heart-slayings.

Well, your taste in men always did leave

something to be desired.

Hmm.

I find myself

grateful to have you
by my side these days.

You are the only man that I...

Catherine.

I'm leaving France.

Why?

Well, the crisis is averted.

The military have backed down.

Why? Really.

Recently, the queen of Scots

accused me of being a selfish husband,

of caring too much for my station...

more than the safety of my wife.

I'm leaving to free Lola.

Because of what Mary said?

- Not just.
- ‭Mm-hmm.

It's also because you and I

work very well together, Catherine.

Hmm.

Too well.

I want to go now. I
want to fight for Lola.

I want to save her.

I want to save what we shared

before our union is
damaged beyond repair.

Damaged by me? By us?

Yes.

That is the most flattering thing

that you have ever said to me.

I shall return.

Safe travels, Lord Chancellor.

Until we meet again.

Sebastian,

what are you doing sitting at my desk?

You were protecting Christophe.

And I know why.

What are you talking about?

You paid Duke Boinel to attack Claude.

All so you could take
the regency from Narcisse.

That's what Christophe held over you.

Well, that is nonsense.
Who told you that?

Oh, Sebastian, you don't believe...

You knew he was a murderer
and you protected him.

All so he would keep your secrets.

You allowed him

to continue to roam these
halls as a kingsguard!

Delphine

is dead because of you!

Don't you dare

lay that poor girl's death at my feet.

How can you take the word
of a madman over mine?

Sebastian, we are family.

- I have been like...
- Like a mother to me.

When Francis died, I felt so alone,

I reached out to my real mother.

I sent letters to Diane

at all of her chateaus.

She never wrote back.

When I realized what she'd
done to your daughters

years ago, I cast Diane out of my life.

Not only because of her crimes,

but because I knew that if
you ever discovered the truth,

you'd murder my mother
with your bare hands.

And since she's gone missing,
I can't help but wonder.

You're not thinking clearly.

Did you kill her?

Did you kill my mother?!

She murdered my children.

My babies.

Where is she?

My mother deserves a proper burial.

Does she?

Her body's in the sea.

Bash, think.

I'm the regent of France!

How will you explain
my death at your hands?

You have no proof.

Is your mother,

a woman who would sacrifice
anyone for her own gain,

worth dying for?

Oh...

Since you are the real king of France,

consider this my
resignation as your deputy.

You despise me, and yet
you expect a free ride?

You're about to set sail on a boat

full of unfamiliar mercenaries.

I can provide protection

and tactical knowledge for the journey.

And when we make land in Scotland,

we both go our separate ways.

You're going to England to free Lola.

If you think I'm leaving the
safety of my wife in your hands,

forgive me for saying it,
but you're out of your mind.

Am I interrupting something?

Bash, what are you doing here?

Do you have room for one more?

You must, if this one
is slithering aboard.

I'll be on the boat.

Sebastian, I told you...

There is nothing for me here anymore.

I can't stay.

What's happened?

I need to leave France,

and you need someone at
your side you can trust.

I could use a friend
on the journey ahead.

I'm glad to see you. Thank you.

France, I think I shall
never see you again.

What is it?

It's a parting gift from Bash.

You had my sister beaten so
you could reclaim the regency.

You deceived and betrayed me.

- Claude, please.
- Go to hell!

You may be regent,

but I am king, and you will
pay for what you've done.

Tie it down! Tie it down!

Port astern! Secure the halyard!

All right, the storm is getting worse.

- You should go to your cabin.
- Your Majesty!

Now!
