Reign (2013–2017): Season 1, Episode 21 - Long Live the King - full transcript

Previously on reign...
You killed someone in the woods

When the pagans forced you
to choose a sacrifice.

I murdered a man who was about
to kill another.

And to this day I wonder:
Did he have a family?

I have very powerful uncles.

What, the duke of guise?

Do you have any idea
what you've done?

You just let the devil
into our home.

Francis: It's father.
He's gone utterly mad.

You think I'm delusional?

French forces marched for calais
this morning.



I need the duke's army
to save France.

We stay and finish this
or we die trying.

Fire!

Mary:
Did you see francis yet?

Not yet.

It's strange how,
after months of waiting,

These last moments
are the most agonizing.

What about you?
Don't you want to look for leith?

He was conscripted so he
wouldn't be punished here.

If he survived,
he would never return.

It's better that he doesn't.

Why isn't bash here
to greet his brother?

He's out in the blood wood again
hunting for the darkness.

why bash feels it's his duty to end this,
I don't know.



I just want him
to come home to me.

Take me away from court
and our mad king.

Man:
God save prince francis!

200 years!

For 200 years
the english have occupied

Our port city of calais,
but no longer!

Calais is ours once again!

And I am proud to say that
I fought alongside

The bravest soldiers in europe,

And the duke of guise, whose men

And bravery helped us
achieve victory!

Mention your father, francis.

Don't let that son of a bitch
do it first.

In truth, the real
hero of calais

Is the man with the vision...

Of a France free and whole!

The man who masterminded
this victory!

King henry valois!

We have our work cut out
for us with that one.

Get to it.

Man:
King henry!

Mary.

Francis...

You came back to me.
You came back.

Not only did we reclaim calais,
but I have news of my own:

My spies in England
have been tracking

The queen's slow crawl
to the grave.

After countless rumors
and endless waiting,

She is dead!

The queen of England,
mary tudor, is dead!

The tudor queen betrayed
the catholic church,

Her own faith, by naming
a protestant to the throne.

But god's will reigns.

We will take the time
to relish our victories,

Knowing that one day
England will be ours,

Crushed and then reborn
under its rightful queen,

Mary stuart!

they all need
something to hold on to

they all mean well

you could never
feel my story

it's all you know... Oh!

we both said some things
we didn't mean

we took our cheap shots,
didn't we?

you grabbed your coat
and keys and said...

I thought you might
never forgive me

For going to calais
instead of scotland.

Your mother...

Escaped...

...To dunbar castle.
She's safe.

oh-oh-oh, don't wanna
lose you, babe

I still love you, darling

I thought about you every night.

every inch of my heart

even when I don't want to

I thought I'd never get
to tell you again...

I love you.

I still love you

I still love you.

I overheard
the servants complaining

When I brought in the logs.

I don't think they've come
across many noblemen

Who enjoy cutting
their own firewood.

I find it charming.

And this home?

Our home?
Do you find it charming as well?

It's lovely.

I'm thrilled it was available
on such short notice.

But I would ultimately
like to find something

Further from court.

Not hungary; I know you've tired
of the weather in your homeland.

I crave a warmer climate.

But-but you...

Why are you so eager to put
distance between you and court?

Is there someone there
you hope to avoid?

Lola, you can tell me the truth.

Are you worried
about a resemblance?

Your hair is so dark and lovely.

So is yours.

The child will likely
be fairer than either of us.

Ah. Well, uh,

Many dark-haired people
have fair-haired children.

No one will know
the child isn't mine.

Because I will be

The happiest and proudest father
and husband

Anyone has ever seen.

Mary...
Not yet.

If we could lie here
a little longer.

Just a few more moments

With nothing else
to think about

Except each other.

I know you have
grave reservations.

But today you are faced with the
news that mary tudor has died.

The world will be looking
to you for your response.

And if I shall stake my claim
to England.

Elizabeth
will be looking.

She knows that she's most
vulnerable to your claim now

Before her coronation,

Before she consolidates
her power.

It's a brief window
of opportunity

That my father seems keen

To take advantage of.

If I stake my claim,
there will be war.

I will be declaring myself
my cousin's enemy for life.

I just want it all
to go away.

I don't want to think
about England,

Or my cousin,
or my half brother

And his lords
who now control scotland.

I've just got you back.

I want us to have a chance
to love each other.

You told me once that you would
support whatever decision

I made in regards to England.

Is that still true?

I will stand by you.

You can count on me,
as I count on you.

I'm thinking of writing
my cousin a letter.

Bash:
Did you find anything?

More sacrifices
50 paces back.

They've been dead
for a few days.

My lord,
it grows darker.

It's an eclipse.
Don't be afraid.

It's blood.

Fresh blood.

Another sacrifice
to the darkness?

Don't touch him.

That boy came out
of the shadows.

He's cold as ice.

It's all right! It's all right!
It's all right!

I'm not going to hurt you!
It's all right!

You're safe now.
My name is sebastian

And I want to help you.
What's your name?

This whistle,
I know what it means,

And it strikes fear
in my heart, too.

Where did you get it?

Have you seen him?

Have you seen
the darkness?

Don't bring him back with us,
my lord.

That child will take us
all to hell.

No, he won't.

He'll take us to the darkness.

Welcome.

I got your message.
You said you wanted

To discuss business?

Gabrielle,
if you don't mind.

Shall I return later?

Not tonight, beauty.

You on the other hand...

Why don't you come back here
when you finish your chores?

An interesting choice.

Assuming you let her know
she has one

Since she's a servant
and you're a duke.

I'll let her know.

I liked her.

And she's certainly a step up
from one of catherine's spies.

I wanted to discuss this letter
you wrote

To elizabeth of England.

At least three people read
every letter you send,

Even the ones delivered
through private messengers.

You think I don't know that?

And why do you question my word?

Your letter states

That you want peace with
your cousin and her country.

And for that, you're willing to

Relinquish your claim
on England forever.

A thought suited
for another world.

But we live in this one.

If I stake my claim,

Thousands of people will die
to try and make it good.

Either elizabeth or I
will lose our heads.

And for what?!

I'm already queen of scotland.

I'm going to be queen of France.

Isn't that enough?
So you're willing to disarm,

Hoping your opponent
will disarm?

Here's what you should know:

When you disarm,
your opponent shoots you.

We're not at war.

Royals are always at war.

Why?

Why must I join in this madness?

I can be a good wife to francis
and a good queen to his country.

You can never have a normal life

Because of who you are,
and without power

You're nothing
but a threat.

Mary. The truth is, you're still
simply a guest at french court.

The wife of the dauphin.

You must beg the king and queen
for anything scotland may need.

All your power comes from what
you might do in the future.

This is your only card.

Once you play it...

It's gone.

Kenna:
Bash. There you are.

Why are you...?

Who's this?

We found him in the woods,
alone and covered in blood.

He won't say a word about
what happened to him.

The blood isn't his.

He has no cuts, no bite marks,

Nothing to match the other
victims of the darkness.

What makes you think
the child encountered him?

He was carrying this;

It's a kind of
pagan whistle.

I've heard it twice
before, and both times

The darkness was nearby.

I think he uses it
as a warning to inspire fear.

Well, if it belongs
to the darkness,

How did this child
get a hold of it?

You must have got close to him.

Was your family chosen?

Were they sacrificed?

Can you tell us where you were?

Enough!

Leave the boy alone.
He's been through hell;

You don't need to hold
him over the coals.

Are you hurt?

No one will hurt you here.
I promise.

The child knows something.

He's just too frightened
to speak.

To you;

He's afraid of you.

Perhaps the situation requires
a more delicate approach.

From the duke I learned nothing.

Well, nothing
of political interest.

But this morning
I bed one of his lieutenants,

Who was curious to see
what attractions

I held for his master.

Men.

It always works.

And was he
more forthcoming?

Much.
Mm.

He says king henry
refuses to delay

While supplies and armies
are being replenished.

He will not
wait on England.

They've just returned from war.

Henry said they'd take time
to celebrate calais.

Mobilization has already begun.

The offices are
being sworn to secrecy.

The king means to attack England
within the week.

He wants to slay elizabeth

And put mary on the throne then.

Bartos: Good afternoon.
I'm looking for lord julien.

Will you tell him
his uncle bartos

Is here to see him?

Benjamin:
Yes, sir.

Oh, bartos!

How good to see you.

You look positively road-weary.

Please, come in.

Thank you. Leave us.
We're fine here.

Would the gentlemen...?
We're fine.

What's all the fuss?

And when did we
get so familiar?

I'm not here to be reunited
with a secretary;

I want to talk to
my nephew directly.

Remy...

Where is he?
Where is lord julien?

Uh-uh, lord julien's away.

Where?

He's been out of touch
with the family for months

Gallivanting all over the
continent for nearly a year.

The family sent me here

To find him,
after we heard a rumor

He'd been married
at french court.

It's true, he's both married
and with child.

He's hard to keep in check,

But I'll start at
the tavern he favors.

Uh, wh-where
are you staying?

I'll come around with julien
as soon as I track him down.

He's evading his family,
I don't know why,

But those who finance
his disregard

Deserve an explanation.

I'll wait right here...

For his return.

I have to tell you something.

I have to do it quickly

And you have to hear
everything I say

Beyond something
that'll shock you.

I don't understand.

I love you. That is who I am,
the man who loves you,

But I'm not lord julien.

What are you talking about?

My real name is remy.

I was lord julien's personal
secretary before he died.

This is madness.

The real julien varga
died in a terrible fire.

We were traveling
through bavaria.

The inn we stopped at
burned to the ground.

I was carrying julien's cloak,
with its crest.

The local magistrate

Assumed I was he.

His life was there
for the taking.

So I took it.

I took it and then I met you
and I gave you a life...

I gave us a life...

A wonderful life.
For his money,

Is that it?
You-you robbed a dead man?

Yes. It was a decision
made in the moment,

Because I saw suddenly
how easy it could be.

He has a family far away,
whom he hated and rarely saw,

Money he could never use.

So I let the stipends
keep coming.

But, eventually,
they wanted contact

With their wandering son,
they wanted to see him.

And then you met me.

Good timing, was it?

Because the stipends
got cut off?

Do I have that right?

Yes.

You were going
to fleece me

For all you could

And then run
from your crime.

The story you told
about being

Disenfranchised
from your family,

It all makes sense; they
weren't your family at all.

Did you murder him?

No. No. I did not.

You might think I'm the
lowest form of grave robber,

But I didn't kill him.

And while I planned
to leave you, I didn't.

I stayed, because
I fell in love with you.

I risked everything
to be with you.

I risked this day,
which I prayed would never come.

Have you been caught?

Is that why you're
telling me this now?

There is a man
in the other room.

He is lord julien's uncle,
sent by the family to find him.

You can hate me
for the rest of your life.

You can turn me in
to the authorities.

All I ask is that you back me up

For as long as it takes
to get him out of this house

And out of our lives.

I don't know who you are.

But I'm not sure
I want him to leave,

Because you terrify me.

You're sure?

He could just be
mobilizing against

A counterattack on calais.

A naval commander's
confirmed it.

Henry has ordered a fleet
to set sail for England

By week's end.

You've seen the state
of the french army.

If henry invades...

We will be slaughtered.

After calais,
we are depleted on all fronts.

There must be some way
to reach him.

Francis...

Henry doesn't understand
right from wrong, or care.

He's killed innocents,
he's shut out

His closest advisors,
he's closed his mind to reason.

No one can get through to him.
This has

Gone on long enough;
he has to be stopped.

No. Absolutely not.

Don't get sentimental
about a father who was never

Sentimental about you.
But he is my father,

And the king of France.

We owe him our allegiance.

Or how can we
expect it ourselves?

He is sick.
He needs our help,

Not to be put down
like some rabid dog.

I need to get him away from here,
away from the castle,

Take him somewhere.

A hunting trip.
Catherine: A hunting trip?

That's your solution?
We have said before that

He may be being poisoned
here in the castle

By a means we have
not yet discovered.

We have ruled
out poison.

I am not convinced.

I know what he has done
and what he has become...

But I need one last chance
to break through to him.

I need to make sure
that I have tried everything.

All right.

But whatever
you plan

On doing, do it quickly...
we are running out of time.

I willreach him.

You know as well as I do
there's no reaching henry.

He's gone.

We promised francis time.
The time is now.

Catherine, I can't.

I-I'd be defying my husband...

Betraying him, murdering his father.
My husband...

The father of my children...

Handing over my crown to you
the moment francis is king.

I can't think
about myself.

We need to think
like queens now.

Or thousands of men
will die needlessly

In a war we are not prepared for
and we cannot win.

We cannot save henry, but
we can still save those men.

And we can spare francis

From having to be a part

Of his father's murder.

There is some truth in that.

And a strange kind of mercy.

So it's settled, then.

Together...

You and I are going
to kill the king of France.

Remy: I realize we've talked around
your nephew's absence today.

Yes, you've introduced me
to his very silent

New wife.
Forgive my directness,

But I'd appreciate
some of the same.

Where are the servants?
I, uh,

Sent them home...
as the truth

Is a delicate matter.

Lord julien's been
gone for some time.

It was an issue of money.

He had, uh,

Gambling debts.
I knew he enjoyed cards...

Remy: It was rather
a passion for him.

One that sadly took precedence
over the passion he had

For his wife.

He was...

Deeply in debt

And fled
from those debts.

My nephew

Abandoned you?

Remy: I-I can assure
you, the love he

Bore his wife is true, and
that this is excruciating

For lady lola to discuss.
Is that so?

How can anyone be sure
of someone who lies so easily,

Who uses others
for what they can offer him,

Regardless of the cost?

Lola...
The cost is to me,

To my reputation,
to my faith in another,

In my husband,
a man I gave my heart to.

Remy:
I assure you

I can speak to his heart,
torn apart daily

As his feelings
for you grew.

Bartos: And I can
speak for the family.

I had no idea about the depth of
my nephew's gambling problems.

To see you left in this way.

I feel shame for my nephew.

I assure you, the family will
take care of you financially.

And the child.

You make a passionate case.

If only julien had
your depth of feeling.

If that's all there is

To be said for now?

Yes.

For now.

I must return home and alert
the rest of the family.

Remy, if you see julien...

Oh, of-of course.

Wait.

Is that julien's ring?

What?

That's julien's signet ring.

Why are you wearing
my nephew's ring?

You see? You're not so scary

Under all that blood.

We really should get
you a proper bath

And some lovely covers
to sleep under.

You know, when I
was a little girl,

My mother had a blanket
made of fleece.

How do you stay warm?

Do your parents let
you sleep beside them?

Where are you parents?

They must be worried that
you're cold or hurt.

They're dead.

I'm sorry.

But you needn't fear
that they're worrying.

I'm sure they're looking
at you right now.

And they can see
that you're safe.

Can you tell me
what happened to them?

Then will you tell me
what happened to you?

So we can make sure it never
happens to anyone else.

Visegard.

What?

What's "visegard"?

Boy: A bad place
in the mountains.

He took me there.

Who did?

The man with the sharp teeth.

Mary:
He's on a hunt.

He could have an accident on his way back.
What, a stray arrow?

No, it's too dangerous
with francis at his side.

What about poison?

Could you get something
past his tasters?

I tried that recently.

It backfired.

I can't see a way.

I've never known you
to wilt from a challenge.

Certainly not when you
were trying to get rid of me.

You're a very

Imaginative murderer.
There must be a way.

There is one time to get to him.

Communion.

He's been taking mass alone.

There are no tasters,
no guards.

And he feels absolutely safe.

These are
for a private mass.

Catherine: Just him,
a priest and the almighty god.

We will have one chance at this.

We won't get another.

And if we succeed,

I'll be a widow.

And francis will rule.

Long live the king.

I've never heard of any town
called visegard.

What do you hope to find there?

The boy was neither
sacrificed nor fed upon.

Yet the darkness brought him
there for some reason.

If we find this place,
it may hold clues.

It may even
be a place the darkness resides.

And what makes you think that?

When pagans spill blood
to feed the darkness,

They have to bring it somewhere.

You don't even know
where this town is.

It could be days away.

You said that when you return,
that you would take me

To our new home, that you
would get me away from henry.

Perhaps I should leave you.

No, we have business still.

You're right.

Pack your things.

We'll leave tonight.

I'll think of some excuse.

You're not planning
to go with her?

I can't involve her in this.

If I tell her what I know, I
have to tell her how I know it.

How you know what exactly?

That visegard is more
than just a place.

It's a pagan word.

It means "where darkness rises."

And that I know this

Because I was born a pagan.

Is that why you've
taken this on?

Because you feel some blame for
the blood spilled by this faith?

It's more than just that.

I was forced to kill two men
in those woods...

A zealot of the faith
and an innocent.

And ever since then, I have

A darkness in me that I despise.

The darkness touched us all.

It tortured olivia.

If you're going
to search for visegard,

I'm going with you.

There is nothing quite like

The feast of a fresh kill.

I feel cleaner.

Stronger.

Ready to take on England.

But to stage an invasion now,

Before we have
replenished our forces,

Is it not better to wait?

You know, francis...

We should have done this
a long time ago.

All those hunting trips
I shared with your brother,

I regret not having had
these moments with you.

Why do you push so hard
to conquer England?

Perhaps I am...

More ambitious than most kings.

It was my father
who taught me to push hard.

Oh, he expected
a great deal from his sons.

Did you know he was captured
by the spaniards?

I was six or seven at the time.

They imprisoned him in madrid,

Under the cruelest conditions.

One day, my brother and I
were taken to visit him.

He saw our boat
and he ran to us.

I ran to him.

He passed us by
and jumped in the boat.

We'd been traded as hostages
for his freedom.

Why did he let that happen?

He was the one who arranged it.

Sons must sacrifice

For their fathers.

This is the lesson.

I learned it with my brother,

Beaten and starved
for three years.

Father...

When we returned...

...There was no loving embrace.

He was a hard man to please.

Like god.

Father, it wasn't right.

What he did to you,
it wasn't right.

I believe

In a loving god.

And I believe his work
is done by people like you,

And you have so much
more to do in France

Before you turn to England.

You have already
achieved the glory.

Now do the good.

Yes, of course.

There are things to do
in France first.

I tell you, he asked me
to keep the ring so that

He wouldn't gamble away
a family keepsake.

Bartos, what are
you looking for?

Bartos: Julien is a large man.
I see no boots

His size, no cloaks
that would fit him.

There's no trace of
my nephew anywhere.

You're making an ordeal
out of nothing.

Benjamin: Begging your pardon,
mistress, I left my gloves...

Lola:
Not now, benjamin.

Benjamin:
As they're my only pair...

Please be on your way.
You there. You work

For the master of
this house, do you not?

This is a private matter.
Just go. Where is he?

Where is lord julien?

He's standing right there.

But this man is...

This man...

And this woman?

Benjamin:
His wife,

My lord, lady lola.

Get out, benjamin.
Just go.

You took my nephew's name.

What else did you take?
I never harmed him.

I promise you.
Remy,

Just tell him what happened.

Is he still alive? Answer me.

It was an accident,
I swear...

You killed him.

Let go, let go!
Stop it! Stop it, please!

I'll kill you...
Let go of him!

My god.

I killed him.

I have to go now.
I'm moving today.

But I wanted you to know that these
ladies are going to look after you.

They're the kindest governesses
in the castle.

It's for the best.

They're gonna take much better
care of you than I ever could.

Um, my mother gave this to me
when I left scotland.

She said
it would always keep me safe.

I wanted you
to have it.

Please don't leave me.

They'll burn me.

Go.

Why would you say that?

You worship the gods,

Not god, don't you?

I don't care
if you're a pagan.

I'm never going
to let anybody hurt you.

Would you like to come
and stay with me?

Just for a while?

You know, I don't even know
your name.

Pascal.

Mary, I did it.

What?
I convinced him

To postpone the invasion.

France is safe.

He listened
to me.

His sanity started
trickling back in,

And for a moment I could
actually see my father again.

I'm not saying that he's cured.

That may
take time.

What is it? What's wrong?

How much time?

How can you be sure?

I'm not.
Then you agree,

We can't risk it.
Risk what?

Letting him live?

Mary... What have you done?

Francis:
It's not too late!

He has agreed
not to invade England!

He saw reason!

He's getting better!

Do you hear me?!

Well, if there's
hope, maybe.

There is hope!
I've seen it!

You have to stop this right now!

In nomine patri et fili

Et spiritus sancti.

Amen.

Who sent you?!

Who sent you?!

Who?!

Man:
Your majesty, the duke of guise.

My friend! You're the only one
I can trust.

I must speak with you.

Alone.

Francis:
I thought your plan was to poison him.

It was. I stopped it.
I got to the priest in time.

If you didn't send the assassin,
who did?

I don't know.
But I can't help but notice

Who's benefited the most.

Who's come out of this smelling
like a rose.

My uncle.

How did he know the specifics
of our plan?

That we called it off?

Catherine:
He has spies, surely.

What if he's playing
both sides?

What if he warned the king
of an attempt on his life?

If we succeed in spite
of this, job done:

Francis becomes king
and the duke benefits

From his promise
of a position at court.

If we fail...

Then the duke is the man
who warned the king.

He still benefits because
he gains my father's trust.

The only complication was
our calling off the attempt.

The duke's already
warned the king;

He looks like a hysterical
fool if nothing happens.

So he makes
something happen.

Sometimes, to sell a pail
of water, you start a fire.

If this is true, then the king
will listen to no one

But the duke from now on.

He walistening to me.

Do you both realize
how much danger you're in

Because of what
you've done?

The good news is
we're both still alive,

So henry
doesn't suspect us... Yet.

But his paranoia
is awakened.

We'll never get
another chance.

Henry's untouchable now.

God help us all.

I lie behind
the star-bright sky,

I do not fear
this life's good-bye.

Pascal's coming with us
if that's all right with you.

Bash: Of course.
He'll be in good hands.

As will you.
These men will escort you home

And stand guard
until I return.

I knew this would happen.

You're going to find visegard,
aren't you?

I lie behind
the star-bright sky,

I do not fear
this life's good-bye.

I'm going to go search
the mountains.

If I find the man
with the sharp teeth,

I'll make sure he can
never hurt you again. I promise.

Pascal...

You go wait for me
in the carriage, please.

I actually
believed you.

I believed you
when you said you wanted us

To have a life together,
but this

Is our future: You
breaking your word

And abandoning me to
an empty home so you can run off

And be the hero.
You think I want this?

I don't know what you want.

Maybe you're just

Not suited to domestic life.

Maybe neither of us are.

For all your confidence,
I think

You've seen yourself
as the plaything

Of others. I know
you were handed to me

Like an object,

A punch line for what we
both thought was a cruel joke.

But this marriage
is no longer

Something that happened to me.

It's...

You are what I want.

I want to come back to you.

I just have
to finish this first.

Then come back to me,

Or I'll kill you myself.

I have to turn myself in.

No. They'll never believe
it was an accident.

They'll think you
murdered the uncle

And lord julien.

Oh, god, I can't think.
We could run.

We can't run.
You need to get away

From me... I've brought
you nothing but pain.

That's not true.

Let me help you.
No,

I can't, lola.
When julien's uncle

Doesn't return, his family
will send investigators.

Lola, stop!

I'll say bartos never got here,

That he must have learned
that julien had died.

We have a body.
There'll be

No ongoing hunt for lord julien.

He will die here tonight,

And you can be free.
No.

You are good and honest.

What have I
done to you?

You said the fire burned
his body beyond recognition.

If it worked before,
it could work again.

And you can vanish
without anyone following.

What about you?

What have I left you with?

Our memories before tonight.

A name and respectability
for this child.

And you... A widow.

We can never
see each other again.

I know.

Lola, I'm so sorry.

So am I.

We haven't much time.

The servants could
return at any moment.

Go back to
french court.

Don't be alone.

There are too many
challenges ahead of you.

If the real father
is a good man,

Let him be a part of your lives.

Promise me that.

Go now, my love.

Don't look back.

Promise me
you'll run.

I'll run for my life.

Pascal: I lie behind
the star-bright sky,

I do not fear
this life's good-bye.

Close your eyes
for my caress.

I've never heard
that rhyme before.

Who taught
it to you?

My father.

Do you want to tell me what
happened to your father?

A bad man killed him.

I think
you're ignorant.

I think the bloodlust

Is in you.

Kenna:
Whoever killed him will someday be punished.

Bad men always get
what they deserve.

Francis, henry had
to be stopped.

It wasn't

An easy decision to make,
but I thought it was

The only way. I know what you thought,
but you agreed to wait.

You lied to me.

I'm sorry.

Sorry for what?

You don't regret it...
we both know

That you'd
do it again.

When you told me that you wanted

I stood by you, and today
when I told you what I wanted,

I thought you
stood by me as well.

Instead, you worked
with my mother

To murder
the king of France!

We wanted to spare you.

I didn't want you to carry

That burden for the
rest of your life.

I did what you couldn't do.

I did it for France.

For the nation that
you used to put

Before all else, even me.

Because that is
what rulers do!

What is wrong with you?!

He is my father!

There are risks that you take...

For the people that you love.

You used to know that.

Who are you becoming?

Henry:
It was good to be with francis today.

The boy truly loves me,
I understand that now.

I have misjudged him...

In so many ways.

He doesn't want England.

He shies from conquest.

Without my constant pushing,
he would be content

To hide under the covers
with mary.

I can't live in fear...

Or tolerate it in others.

I was so close to death today,
I could feel...

Its dark hand on my throat.

But god...

Spared me

For the work I must do.

It is for me

To sit on England's throne,

To slay their bastard queen,
and rule a new empire!

It's what I was meant for!

But...

Francis was right.

Before I... I invade England...

There are things
I must do here in France.

First...

I must kill my son...

And wed his wife.
