Reign (2013–2017): Season 1, Episode 3 - Kissed - full transcript

Nostradamus: Since mary,
queen of scotland, was a child,

The english wanted
her country and her crown.

She is sent to France
to wed its next king

To save herself and her people,

A bond that should protect her.

But there are forces
that conspire,

Forces of darkness,
forces of the heart.

Long may she reign.

Francis:
Previously on reign...

I don't know if I'm ready.

To leave here? Or marry
the future king of France?



You will wed young francis

For your faith, for your people,
for scotland.

Henry:
She's here doing her job,

And her job is waiting
for me to decide

When you should marry her.

What matters is what's right
for my country.

You don't want to marry me.

We've no quarrel
with the english.

We're just
farmers. But...

You're welcome to
share our breakfast.

You're going to need
a lot of eggs.

A few grains should
help you sleep.

But only a few
and not every night.

Mmm.



What?

Nostradamus.

What are you seeing?

War.

And the cost of war.

Where?
I don't know.

But wherever it is, it will
reach inside this castle.

all right, kenna.

It's your turn. Not your first

But your best kisser.

It was a man, not a boy.

Who? You must tell us.

All I'll say is that
there's no point

In waiting for boys our own age

Who have no idea
what they're doing.

Either find
yourself a man or...

Take care
of your needs yourself.

anyway,

I think that it's greer's turn,
isn't it?

My first kiss...

...Is in the
very near future.

I'm not like you.

My family's not titled.

I can't afford even
little mistakes.

But... I think
I've found the man.

He's tall, dark
and noble.

Tomas, the son
of the king of portugal.

He's here negotiating
some kind of trade deal,

But he's taking his time

About it, and I think
it's to stay with me.

Greer, it's dangerous
to get involved with a prince.

You know they marry
for alliances.

Your family are commoners.

Tomas is a king's
bastard, like bash.

Favored, too, but
with money and land.

I'm not a fool. I know a true
royal

Would never look at me
except to ruin me.

I can take care of myself.

Your majesty,

Your uncle,

Claude de guise,
is here and wishes

To see you at once.

You look well, mary.

Your mother sends her affection.
Read it later.

You may be assured the love
is in there, as is the news

Of a crisis in scotland.

The english.
They're massing on the border.

And these are not
the normal skirmishes.

They're out in number.
They're looking for weakness,

And if they find any...
We must respond with strength.

Surely my mother
has sent soldiers.

Of course. But not enough.

We need more men.

Our strongest ally is France.

King henry will help us.
He's been asked,

And he's been slow to answer.

You were sent here to secure the
alliance by marrying

Henry's son.
Now they're dragging

Their feet. What happened?

Nothing happened.

They're being politicians.

Francis and his father aren't
eager to commit to scotland.

They'd rather keep
me in a drawer,

Like a pair of gloves
for cold weather.

And then when the weather
grows cold for France,

They'll take me out
and I'll be wed.

They're afraid of what
a permanent bond might mean.

But right now, we have
immediate problems.

Scotland needs more troops.

As queen,
you must do something.

Henry:
Mary.

Your grace.

we've been...

Discussing this business
in scotland.

You have
my sympathy.

Father, I believe her majesty is
here for more than just sympathy.

Of course.
We're sending wagons, gunpowder,

Supplies for your army...
Supplies are useless without men.

Surely you can spare a few.

You have so many more soldiers than we do.
And...

Many more borders as well.

You only have to
worry about England.

I have England, Spain,

A hundred italian and german
principalities... You are supposed

To be our ally.

If our positions were reversed,
scotland would help.

Mary, I'm sorry.

Eight companies.

Six!
I hope I will have

The happiness of seeing you
tonight at the entertainments.

Yes?

I hope you understand

The position
you're putting us in.

Lives will be lost.

She only asked
for six companies.

And what if we lose
those companies?

We look weak
in England's eyes.

So we send more and we lose
those. When do we stop?

Before or after England
decides we're soft prey?

At the moment, the scottish
border is quicksand.

You know this.

A pretty girl
doesn't change that fact,

Even if she happens
to be your fiancée.

And their queen.

Mary.

Mary, my father just...

The political situation is complicated.
Complicated?

People will be dying soon.
Isn't that complicated enough? Mary,

I agree with you.

You do?
I think France should help scotland in this.

We're at a tilting point:

If England invades scotland
and succeeds,

It'll be that much
of a stronger enemy to France.

Then we're on the same side.

For all the good it does.

One day, if things goes well,

We'll rule France and scotland
and we'll be together.

Now we have no real power.

We have to wait.

No.

I'm tired
of waiting.

And if we have no power,

Then we must find a way
of getting some.

Come play with me?

Happily.

Sometimes you just need
to kick something.

You're not like a girl.

What did you think
girls were like?

They sit around, afraid they're
gonna mess up their dresses.

you like to have fun.

Oh.

roots are not something
you lay

but something you take
on your way

and I know more...

Mary:
It's stuck.

Maybe you should fetch
someone with a ladder.

Wait, I've got it!

Your majesty,

May I present
tomas of portugal,

Lord of palmela?
Tomas,

Mary, queen of scots.

Hello.

Do you often stroll in trees, your majesty?
Um,

I climbed up here
to fetch prince charles' ball,

But I guess he got
tired of waiting.

Are you sure? Because from down
here,

It looks like scotland attacked
portugal without provocation.

um, turn around

So I can come down. We may have a
diplomatic incident here, your majesty.

Greer, please get your
friend to turn around.

I can't climb down with him
staring up my skirts.

Oh...

Your arm!

I'll be fine.

Are you all right?

Yes. I'm so sorry.

just promise,
no more attacks from the sky.

portugal surrenders.

Greer of kinross,

I look forward
to seeing you tonight.

Your majesty.

I might not have made a very
good first impression,

But I see why you like him.

Isn't he perfect?

I have it all planned.

The boating party's
coming up.

I'll pack a picnic basket,

We'll be out there on the lake
under the moonlight...

And nature will
take its course.

Your first kiss.
And a beginning, I hope.

Well, good luck.

He definitely looks
worth the wait.

eh-eh-o eh-o

eh-eh-o eh-o

eh-o eh-o

eh-eh-o eh-o

Your mind's elsewhere.

Is it slender lady charlotte
or plump lady isabelle

With the breasts like two pigeons, huh?
If I told you,

You might poach. You've a liking
for pigeon, as I recall.

We should help scotland.

Not for mary but for France.

By all means, explain.

When you say that the border
is quicksand,

You assume that we'll lose.

England hasn't sent
its entire army north.

They're poking to see
what reaction they get.

We could strike fast,
hit back hard and win.

But if we do nothing,

We risk losing
the entire scottish alliance.

Years of planning, wasted.

So it's a balance
of risks either way.

Very good.

Except I've decided
the...

Reasons against outweigh
the reasons for.

And guess what:

I'm king.

Another round?

You never spar with me.

Is it a good idea for a king
to spar with his usurper?

You mean his inheritor.

If you win,

I shut up
about this whole subject.

If I win, you send
those six companies of men.

Very good.

When can they leave?

Oh. No one's going
to scotland.

But your word, your wager.

Well, that's
what kings do.

We make promises
to everybody,

And whatever works for
the realm, we keep.

Otherwise, they
never happened.

Lesson for today.

That's not the way...
Don't need any more lessons right now.

Bread... the seeded kind.

I'm not talking
about everyday black bread.

Chestnut spread.
Strawberry tartlets.

Strawberries this late?

Uh, I can make you apple tarts.

Everyone has apple.
I wanted something different.

Talk to god.

He put the strawberries away.
Fine.

But I want the apple tarts
that have the honey on top.

Baked, so they're golden brown,

Not soggy,
to taste fresh

And crisp after two hours
in a boat on the lake.

You want an awful lot... this
must be for someone special.

Not that it's

Any of your business, but yes,

It's for someone very special.

I expect your best.

Why don't you just leave the list.
But who would read it to you?

Mary: Greer?
I've been looking for you everywhere.

You said tomas was
in from portugal

To negotiate
a trade deal.

What kind of deal?
I don't know.

Something about buying
french timber for ships.

Ah, that makes sense.

They're expanding their
fleet... war ships,

Exploring vessels
for the new world.

Of course they
need timber.

Why are we talking
about wood?

Because it
occurred to me

That if a queen can't
command what she needs,

Maybe she can buy it.

Tomas: May I know where you're taking me,
your majesty?

Mary:
I didn't want to be overheard.

Mm, intriguing.

Is it romantic?

Conspiratorial?

May I have a hint?

It's about timber.

Timber?
Timber.

Scotland has trees,
too, you know.

Whatever deal you have
with king henry,

I'll do better... if
you close the deal now

And if you send us men
instead of money.

Your country is in need.

But surely, king henry
will help you.

I mean, the alliance.

I see.

Well, my father

The king empowered me

To make whatever deal
I think best.

And I'd be a fool
to turn this down.

But... Henry considers
our deal almost made.

And it's not a small thing
to anger a king

In his own house.

Meet me this afternoon.

I'll confirm
our transaction then.

a heart unsatisfied

walks on a wire

from the lover

to the loved...
Come to my bedchamber.

Now.

The guards are discreet.

I want to be with
you completely,

As a woman, but...

...As a girl,
I need more time.

How long?

When you're ready.

a simple desire
of course.

ooh, ooh, ooh...

you crossed this line

do you find it hard
to sit with me tonight?

I'm wasting my young years

it doesn't matter if

I'm chasing old ideas

it doesn't matter if

maybe

we are

we are

maybe I'm wasting

my young...

years.
What is this?

It's an old church,
made by louis vii.

Meant to last forever,

But... Nothing does.

Why have you
brought me here?

I wanted your advice.

I sent for this from
my ship in the bay.

The new world
has brought us wealth...

Beyond imagining.

Do you think
these might make a woman

Think kindly of me?

I think you might
have a chance, yeah.

I'm glad you think so.

I don't understand.

I thought you and-and
greer were...

What does greer have
to do with this?

She's a lovely girl,
but...

I've seen you...

And I can't look away.

There is... There's
a wildness in you,

As you play...

Ride, as you climb trees.

I see your spirit...

And I believe it's like mine.

Just thoughts I would
have kept to myself,

But I see your struggle
here in France.

Left to solve
your problems alone.

I'd never do that.

Never.

Wed me.

Wed me, and I won't
make you wait.

Say yes, and you'll
have your men.

Say yes.

Tomas... Y-you're kind,

You're handsome,

You're
very charming...

I sense a refusal.

But I am a queen.

And flattered as I am
by your attentions,

I must marry a nation,

Not a man.

What is this?

My father's been writing

To the pope, arranging
to have me declared legitimate.

My father is dying,
and I'm his only living son.

His grandson is next in line,
and he's only three years old.

My father doesn't
trust the regent

To safeguard portugal.

He wants me on the throne.

The announcement
will be made any day now.

So, you see...

I can lay my heart
at your feet,

And my country as well.

We can save scotland.

If you marry me.

Will you?

A real proposal from
the future king?

What does your
uncle think?

I haven't told him yet.

Because
you're worried

He'd press you to accept tomas,

And you're not ready
to let francis go?

It's all right
to admit it, mary.

I'd be exchanging a man I...

Admire...
For a man I barely know.

And true support
for scotland.

Tomas seems nice.
Feelings may come

In time.
And what of greer's feelings?

She had her eye on tomas.
A crown prince would

Never marry her...
she's not even a possibility.

Well, it's entirely possible
that nothing will come of it,

And that tomas will

Return home to portugal.

I asked him to be discreet

While I considered the proposal.

Your vision.

Do you know yet

How the warfare you saw will
reach inside the castle?

Nostradamus:
No.

Catherine: Maybe you saw
the fighting in scotland.

If mary weds my son

And it causes his death,
as you predicted,

This castle will see
violence within its walls

Like none before.

Tell me exactly what you saw.

You look lovely.

Is the king still refusing
to send the men we need?

I've pushed as
hard as I can.

Well, I know you've
done your best.

Thank you.
Mary...

Nostradamus.

Why don't you share
your wisdom with all of us.

I don't understand.

Always at my wife's ear.

What do you whisper?

I hear emperor maximilian

Has a seer in prague
who can...

Tell fortunes
using playing cards.

Tell the fortunes of queen mary

And her ladies.

Forgive me, your majesty,

But I'm not skilled at cards
and I don't control my visions.

They come and go as they will.

You're not as good

As maximilian's seer?

Leave him alone, henry.
Oh, come,

The man must have something
to recommend him

Since you rely so deeply
on his counsel.

Hmm?

Each of you pick a card.

Have your question
ready.

Will I ever
love again?

You'll meet a dark,
handsome stranger.

Be wary of flattery.

Life will offer

Many challenges.

You'll meet them with grace.

Henry: Well,
that's not very specific.

Give us a fortune,

Not a platitude.

Or is that the best
you can do?

The lion will fight the dragon
on the field of poppies.

What?

The lion will fight the dragon
on the field of poppies.

Who will I...?
You'll fall in love

With a man
with a white mark on his face.

When will I see my family?

You'll never go home.

What do you mean, never go home?

Nostradamus:
That's all I was given.

You know no more than I.

Well,

There's a showman for you.

Musicians, dancing music.

Enough
of this foolishness.

Why would you say that
to my friend?

Why scare her?

I can only say
what I've seen.

Like a dragon
and a field of poppies?

Are people fooled
by you?

The only dragons are
in children's stories.

Then I must be a liar.

But why these lies?

Who gains?

The fortune-telling
was henry's idea,

So it can't have come
from catherine.

Who are you
and who do you serve?

The realm...
Myself, the truth.

The truth?

Serving the truth at
court is a crooked path.

You know, I don't
think I ever noticed

That tiny white
scar on your cheek.

It becomes you.

Thank you.

Would you excuse me?

Mary,

Believe me, I've
argued with my father.

I've explained why
politically it's a good idea.

I've, I've done
more than argue.

I've done all
I can reasonably do.

Then maybe you should be
unreasonable.

I commanded the musicians

To play music
from my country.

Allow me.

Why don't you dance
like that?

Shut up.

Apparently they do things
differently in portugal.

I love this portuguese music.

Keep playing.

Not what I meant
by "discreet."

Greer, don't be upset.

It was just a dance.

I'm not upset
because of a dance.

I'm not upset at all.

I'm just going
back to my room.

I'm not feeling well.

Please, let's talk.

There's no need.

You're my queen.

You're rich
and you're beautiful

And you're engaged
to the crown prince

Of France.

I thought perhaps you could
leave tomas for me.

It's not as if you could
marry him anyway.

You knew how important
this was to me.

It just wasn't
important to you.

No, greer...

You do have a way of leaving
chaos in your wake.

What was that about?

Tomas asked me to marry him.

He's being declared
legitimate.

He says his father wants him
on the throne imminently.

It's not what I want,

But my options
are extremely limited.

You went behind our back?

You're making a new
alliance with portugal?

It was his idea, not mine,

And he's willing to actually
get married, too,

Which is more than
your family is offering.

You can't just

Break an alliance.
I don't want to.

You said that we had
no power,

That there was
nothing we could do.

I don't like it
but I found a way.

If France won't help us,

Then I will have no choice but
to accept portugal's offer.

His name is tomas.

You'd be marrying
the man,

Not the country.

It's what my mother
will want...

...And what
my country needs.

somewhere in my memories

are the times
that you and me

simply passed each other by

and now you're sure
I've got to watch

you shine outside the box

a melody that brings me in

raw stones get broken
every day

fires get put out
in their way...

I never thought, you know.

Thought what?

Tomas:
My first marriage.

I married for love

And I loved her
deeply.

She died of influenza.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm staying by your side...

When I learned
my father planned

To make me his
heir, I thought,

My next union is
sure to be arranged,

My life nothing
but politics,

But then I saw
you in a tree.

fires get put out
in their way...

Please.
Thank you.

but, oh,
they couldn't stop me

if they tried...

Your father is
a confusing man.

Yes, he is.

Mary:
It's not a reflection on you personally,

But my family will need to
confirm all that you've said.

I understand you're
not ready to trust me.

You needn't wait for
confirmation from portugal.

My ship in the bay has
several companies of men.

They can leave for scotland
on tomorrow's tide.

So quickly?

I know you're
the woman I want

And I'll do whatever it takes
to keep from losing you.

What are you
doing here?

Returning the basket.

So, how did it go, lady only
the special cheese for me?

Your important friend
like it?

Is he a punishing man
if he doesn't get

The exact thing he wants
the moment he wants it?

Hard to imagine a more
uncomfortable conversation

About one's father. You don't even know
what I'm talking about specifically.

I know exactly what
you're talking about.

His attention drifted
to you

And now it's drifting
elsewhere.

Am I right?

He's not punishing you,
he's playing you.

He likes to play
and he likes to win,

But know this about him:

A victory without effort
is worse than a defeat.

If the scottish alliance
is worth saving,

We need to send troops.

We've had this
talk before.

Not quite.

I see the way that you look
at the lady kenna

And the way
that she looks at you.

I know
your pattern.

Now, I'm not sure that
you've slept with her yet.

What's this?

But I wonder
how your medici wife

And, more important to you,
your french mistress

Will react
when they find out

That you moved in
on a new girl.

I think we both know
that diane and my mother

Have a way of making life
very difficult when they wish,

Even for a king.

Finally.

Very well, king
in waiting.

I'm not...
We'll try it your way.

Win or lose, you
will answer for it.

That's what kings do.

There are six
companies of men

Quartered between us
and the channel.

You'll send our fastest
rider to mobilize them.

Do you know who our
fastest rider is?

Send a message
to all six captains.

Tell them that they'll
board ship at outreau.

Are you sure you're
all right to ride?

I am a riding fiend,
little brother.

You'll be happy,
scotland will be happy,

Mary will be happy,
and mary will stay.

Just be careful.

Aren't I always?

Well, if always means never.

Hyah!

So this goat just
goes running off.

As for my father, he's shouting,
"catch him! Catch him!"

I chased that damned goat
over half the mountaintop.

And I decided,
no more sheep and goats.

Indoor work for me.

Mind you, when I go home,

That goat still shares
our house in the winter.

there's no
escape.

I can't say I've ever
lived with a goat.

Mm, didn't think so,
where you come from.

But my father
keeps hounds.

They're all over the
house, all the time.

I think he cares
more about the hounds

Than my mother
and my sisters.

Is that why he sent you
so far away, with queen mary?

Oh, he sent me here
to be married.

I have to marry well,
for my family's sake.

My parents made that
very clear to me.

The only way to rise in the
world is through land and title,

And for people like us,

The only way to achieve
these things is to marry them.

So, love has no place
in your life?

I hope it will,

But I have four younger sisters
counting on me, as well.

If I rise,
they rise.

You should have been there
when they saw me off to France.

They looked at me

The way my father looks
at an investment,

Wondering if I'll fail,
or pay off.

Well, I'm sorry you have
to live this way.

and it's gonna be
my beautiful day.

Mm.

I never...

I shouldn't...

Nor should you.

You're a servant.

Nothing can ever happen
between us.

but it did.

Mary, it's done.

Six companies are on their way
to scotland tonight.

What? Oh, francis!

But how? You said the king
wouldn't change his mind,

That you'd done all you could.

I suppose I was inspired.

I can't believe it.

I still can't offer to marry
you right away, like tomas.

You'd have a secure
alliance there.

Here, we can
only hope.

Some day it will be right
for our countries.

I would rather have hope
with you

Than certainty anywhere else.

Morning.

What's this?

You've been avoiding me,

So I thought I would
try and bribe you

With this new
venetian drink.

It's coffee.

I'm sorry.

The truth is,

There never really was much
between tomas and me.

Some flirting...

All very proper...
but that's it.

I wanted to believe
there was more.

Well, you know why.

Oh, I imagined
the whole fairytale.

The perfect
first kiss with

The man with the white mark
on his face.

Me as the heroine,
helping my family.

I know you'll find
the right man, greer.

I know you will.

Should I tell you a secret?

Maybe it's because I've been
engaged since I was six, but

I've never been kissed, either.

Well, actually,

Things have changed
for me in that respect.

What?! No! Who is it?
Tell me everything!

Morning.

I suppose I should send down
for breakfast then.

No. By all means, I'll go.

coffee?

And we want the sweet
butter, not the other kind.

And try putting
some heavy cream

In that coffee, but
for heaven's sake,

Not goat's milk cream.

I'll take care of it.

Lovely morning, my lady.

Our men will have gone
north to the channel.

Calais is in english hands,

So our men will take
ship at outreau.

Man:
Guards?

Quickly!

It's bash.

Mary: The cost of war will
reach inside this castle.

How is he?
He's gravely injured.

I can tend to
his wounds,

Ease the pain,
but I make no guarantees.

Bash:
Father,

The english...

Rode out from calais

To face us.

We never made it to the ships.

It was a slaughter.

Nostradamus:
He shouldn't be talking.

I'm give him a potion,
put him to sleep.

Clear the room.
It's the best

Thing for him.
Francis: Bash?

Bash, I'm so sorry.

Henry:
Come.

Come.

Go wait.

Kings don't apologize.

I didn't know this would happen,

But I knew it was a risk.
So did you.

Lives are always at risk,
at our hand, at our will.

For a prince, this was a...

A cheap lesson.

Cheap? Six
companies.

Your son... I
know you love him.

You were influenced
by your heart.

If that happens
when you are king,

You could lose
10,000 men.

You could lose France.

The english were
ready for us.

Someone told them.
Yes.

While bash was riding
to six different companies,

It appears someone loyal to the
english rode straight to calais

And warned them.

Well, aren't you going
to tell francis?

No. Not today.

It would ruin the lesson.

Let something come
of this treachery.

Francis will never trust
