Reign (2013–2017): Season 2, Episode 1 - The Plague - full transcript
As Francis leaves Court to find Lola and his child, he must try and avoid the plague, back at Court Mary and Catherine must keep safe from the plague while the nobles and servants are getting sicker and sicker.
Previously on reign...
Is that my husband's child?
Lola: You were engaged to bash.
If you tell francis,
I essentially
become his.
Greer:
You're a servant.
Nothing can ever happen
between us.
Remember this as the moment
that you threw
Your happiness away.
So let's have that drink now.
Father, my evening took
the loveliest turn.
Guard: The king is dead!
Long live the king!
Guard 2: The king is dead!
Long live the king!
Tell me your darkest truth,
and I will tell you mine.
Lola is giving birth.
You are the father of her child.
The time is now. We need
to think like queens.
Mary: You are going to a village
which has likely been exposed
To plague. You can't leave.
Your friend, my child.
Perhaps my only child.
Listen to your heart
and you will hear it
As clearly as I do.
Mary:
It is upon us now,
An old and faceless foe.
We have confirmed reports that
the black death has returned
Once more to plague our lands.
Catherine:
You needn't fear.
Only take care.
Where is our young king?
King francis is safe.
He is protected
in a private home.
You are all protected.
I have ordered the
castle be made secure
To prevent the arrival
of infection.
What if the plague's
already here?
Catherine: Anyone who is sick
will be treated
With dignity
and kindness.
Catherine's being too nice.
What she'll really want
Is the sick rooted out or
turned in by their neighbors.
Catherine: But if you should
feel unwell, we urge you
To seek our expert care.
There are early signs.
Fevers.
The expulsion of blood.
But more commonly, aches, pains,
Bulbous sores that will burst.
The blackening
of extremities. Contact
With others spreads the disease.
Aloysius, is that
your daughter with leith?
Are they together?
It can't be.
I'm not jealous.
I'm worried.
Why is that?
Leith made a sort of vow
when things ended.
That he'd attain wealth
and station
And that I would be forced to
witness his rise and happiness
With another.
You think that's why he's
sought out my daughter.
Greer:
I don't know.
There. That's
my father,
And that's his fiancA?e.
Leith:
That's your father?
I'll be back.
Catherine:
And none have fallen ill
Among us.
The queen can confirm this.
No one at court has shown signs
of the plague, not one.
And I pray none will.
We are prepared,
And we are in the best position
to survive.
We are far from
prepared. How could we be?
Where is francis?
I tried to stop him,
but I was too late.
I've sent guards, ones that can
be trusted with the knowledge
That the king is not safe...
Mary!
Can you tell us
what's happening?
We have taken precautions.
As far as we know,
no one here has gotten sick.
As queen, I will need
to be isolated.
I can't stay with you.
I'm so sorry.
Greer:
Are you all right?
Where is francis, really?
He wouldn't leave you. Not now.
Lola sent word. She's having
The baby.
There are...
Problems with the birth.
Will she be
all right?
I don't know.
All I know
Is that she is my friend,
and francis is my husband.
And god willing, there is
an innocent new life.
I tried to stop him
from going to her
When I found out
about the plague.
But he went anyway.
You were trying
to protect him.
And now I must protect his people.
Greer: Mary,
Your task is
to survive.
That's what francis
would want.
When were you going to tell me?
I had no idea
Lord castleroy is your father
until you pointed him out.
But then you were off to him
before I could even stop you.
Off to my father
and his fiancA?e.
I met greer just
a few days ago.
I liked her.
It's over.
I wouldn't have pursued you
in any way
If it weren't
or if I'd known who you are.
If you could be with her now,
would you?
I can honestly say I would not.
These could be our last days
on earth.
Spend them with me.
I'm not sure that's a good idea.
We could... Hide away somewhere,
Away from
everyone.
Yvette,
this isn't wise.
A rooftop somewhere.
I don't care.
We'll bring food and blankets.
There's things I must do.
Tomorrow then.
I'll find you.
You should be away from others.
If you're exposed, you risk...
I know. I know.
But you can't come
to me at my father's suites.
There's a family,
old friends.
I'll make an excuse to check in
on them and wait for you there.
I don't know, yvette.
I'll send word once I'm there.
Bash.
I just spoke
with mary,
And they are isolating people
merely for seeming unwell.
Of course they are.
They have to.
And if anyone is truly ill
with plague, chaos will follow.
There isn't enough food. Not
for every household at court.
Not for the weeks it will take
For the disease
to burn itself out
Or the famine that
will surely follow.
You're not an optimistic fellow,
are you?
I've had food brought
to our chambers,
As much as I could demand
in good conscience.
Kenna, you have to find
pascal and secure yourselves
Until the plague has passed
Or passed us over.
How long will that take?
Weeks.
Maybe longer.
you should go. Now.
I'll find you after I
confer with the kingsguard.
Why you?
Because francis isn't here,
And I know the chief of the
guards. They're scared, too.
But they need to know they're
accountable for their actions
When this is over.
Man:
My wife's going
To be furious.
Some court gathering.
But I'd die without
your company.
So would I.
Man:
Your majesties,
My apologies
For missing
the gathering. I...
Not today, sir.
My lord,
please join us.
Who are you?
Lola:
Francis.
It's all right. I know him.
You're alive.
Yes.
To my surprise.
So is the child,
thank god.
It's a boy.
You have a son.
And here we are...
the two of us.
It's been hours.
Why hasn't francis returned?
Speak freely. The king's guards
are sworn to secrecy.
Surely he saw signs of the
plague before he got too far.
And why would he go on
just to help one of your ladies?
And where are the guards
that you sent?
Delayed, clearly,
Or deserted.
Or dead.
The music.
That's the signal
that someone has fallen ill.
It's begun.
Less than half a day since
we announced the threat.
Whoever is sick
was already here,
Which means there
will be more to follow.
but the airs near us will be
Burned clean.
It worked for the pope.
Who is it?
Who has fallen ill?
A stablehand.
The sores are already
In evidence. He'll be
dead within a day, two
If his body can endure
the suffering.
I heard you sent guards
for francis.
I asked for volunteers.
As they have not returned,
I would like to volunteer.
Why you?
Because he believes himself
immune to the plague.
The young family you lost.
I've had the misfortune
of living in two regions
Of outbreak. And I should
have died with them,
But I did not.
Lola's letter said
she was at the house
Just north of the mill?
Yes, but...
There is unrest and many
other dangers besides illness.
And if any
have befallen my son,
Who has risked so much
for your friend...
Unless there's another reason
why he has rushed to her side.
Tell me, mary, is there?
Do not
Taunt me or seek to sew discord.
Not this day.
Nostradamus is willing to risk
his life to save our king,
My husband
and your son.
Thank him and say good-bye.
I order you as your queen,
Show your gratitude
and then grant me your silence.
Thank you,
Nostradamus.
pascal.
Pascal, stop. I've been looking
for you for hours.
Come on, we have to go.
The servants seem
to be scattered.
I'm merely asking this one to help
fetch some food from a larder.
He's no servant... he's my ward.
I need help.
My wife's taken shelter
with other family.
I'm on my own.
He's coming with me.
It's girls like you
who get men like me
Locked away from our wives
In the first place.
What does that mean?
Whores.
You were the king's whore.
He's dead.
You're nobody now.
I am married
to the current king's brother.
I am a lady.
Queen mary's
Disgraced lady, wed
To the bastard with a
title designed to make
Everyone laugh.
I ought to have you whipped.
I'll do it.
I'll fetch whatever
you need and then
I'll come back to our
Quarters,
all right?
Pascal, you don't
have to do this.
I'll come right
back, I swear.
No thank you, estelle.
You need to sleep, lady lola.
You've lost too much blood.
The carriage outside...
is it yours?
Yes.
There was a driver,
but he left on foot
When he heard of the plague.
To be with his family.
I know that's where
you'd like to be
As well. At
mary's side.
I came thinking
that you might be dead
And my child might be
alone in this world.
Well, that would be simpler.
That's not what I wanted.
I'm saying that
I didn't have
a moment to think.
And I resent you
for lying to me.
I am king, I should be
at my court with my wife.
You could have taken the child
straight back to the castle.
It is your right.
The boy who sent for the midwife
Said the bridge was out.
I'd have to cut around the east
village, hard hit by plague.
It would take
more than a day to return.
How would I keep a newborn
alive without
Its mother?
I see you've considered the possibility.
And yet...
You haven't touched the
baby. It's all right
To admit that you don't
want this. I know you don't.
No one beyond this room
need know
The truth of this child's
parentage.
My poor julien is dead,
But the child
will have his name.
You have it all
sorted out, don't you?
You and mary.
George, your fingers.
Lola:
Oh, lord, he has the plague.
We have to leave. Now.
It's for the babe.
It wasn't near my brother.
You didn't touch him either,
Did you?
You should leave this house.
You could ride
one of the horses.
I can't leave my family.
You'll die.
Pardon my saying so, but...
I'd be no safer on my own,
or with the king of France.
You'd do better with guards.
Or lying about
who you are.
Godspeed to you both.
Mary: Lord eduard,
how may we help you?
Many of the nobles
have secured themselves.
Others prefer to drink
in the gallery
As if nothing is wrong,
but the death count mounts.
Do you know how many are dead
So far?
Fourteen.
14, here on our first day
of contagion.
How many will be dead
when we wake tomorrow?
Do you count the lower class?
Servants and the like,
taken to the catacombs,
The tower,
the south keep?
I count every life lost.
Now what do you want?
To add another to the pile.
I'm sorry to be
so abrupt,
But while my enemy
is accessible I need
To strike.
I don't understand.
There's someone
I thought untouchable.
I'd like him to die of plague.
Put him in one
of the mass holding cells.
He'll be infected
soon enough,
And no one
will heed his cries.
You come here and blatantly
request we murder your foe?
If it were
A request I wouldn't
be so blatant.
It's more of a demand.
One I have no doubt
you will grant.
And what will you gain?
Catherine.
Vengeance.
Pierre voland beds my new wife,
And with
some frequency.
His father's a close friend
of my father's,
They engage in trade as well.
I'd kill him myself,
Or have someone do it,
But I fear
reprisal.
What, from
your father?
If your vengeance
cost him money.
Catherine,
that's enough.
Don't you want to
know the details?
What's at stake?
What kind of animosity
lurks within your realm?
Here are the details.
As you know,
my family provides grain
And meat to the entire region,
But more than that,
The castle relies
on our weekly deliveries.
These deliveries happen when
I signal that I've been paid.
Nobles have raided
the stores of food.
Mm. And in order to
maintain control
Over them,
the servants, the guards
And the soldiers
who live within reach,
You need this week's
delivery to happen.
Or they may reach
for your necks.
Food for survival
in exchange for one life,
Easily taken.
I leave you to consider
The opportunity.
Welcome
to your rule,
My queen.
And welcome
to the real France.
Is that how you and henry
have maintained your rule?
By bowing to your nobles?
It's simple math.
If one life saves more,
You have your answer.
One life matters.
Every life matters.
We will find grain elsewhere.
I don't think you
understand who eduard is.
He comes from a large, wealthy
family with many holdings.
What more do you want me to understand?
That as a royal
You are given your
position by birth or marriage,
But your power
comes from nobles...
From the regions that
only they can control.
We have order, food and money
Because they grant it to us.
And in exchange, we
Grant them certain
privileges. Deny eduard,
And you and francis
will pay a very high price.
Francis would never
agree to this.
He hasn't been king yet.
We can punish eduard,
claim his grain.
Claim a noble's property?
Others will revolt.
The death could
be painless,
I can help with
that. One death,
And you'll forget about it
when you see your hungry
Are fed. I won't forget about it.
I have sacrificed
Lives before,
and every one
Takes me a step further away
from the person I want to be.
The person you are...
Is queen.
And a favor for a favor
keeps you on the throne.
That is your way.
And you were right,
In what you said before.
I want to be a different
kind of queen.
One that my husband
is proud of.
Send word to
lord eduard.
Tell him that I have
considered his request
And that it has been denied.
I'm surprised
you're not
Holed up in castleroy's suite.
I'm surprised
By how quickly you put
your threat into motion.
I don't blame you for
suspecting otherwise.
Given what I said to you.
But meeting yvette
was blind chance. I didn't
Know she was castleroy's
daughter, I swear.
Really. What are the odds?
That I would meet
someone above my class
With an open heart?
Someone who didn't care
Whether or not I was titled?
Slim, I assure you.
You're going to pursue her, aren't you?
Whatever happens,
It has nothing to do with you.
It has everything
To do with me.
Don't you understand,
If you married her, you would
be in my life. My son-in-law.
Even before that, we'd be
forced to see each other,
To pretend there's nothing
between us, and...
Maybe there wouldn't be
for you. Maybe there isn't.
It was days ago that you broke my heart.
If you feel
Anything for me at all,
don't test me in this way,
For I will fail. I will
make a terrible mistake
And I will be destroyed.
I was on my way to meet her.
Please don't.
shh.
Francis, the baby...
I-I can't feed him.
I need water. I need to
drink something or else...
I know, that's why
we stopped. There's a clean
Lake ahead, but...
We're not the only
ones here, are we?
Francis:
No, we're not.
Let me talk to them.
What's wrong
with her?
We're not
infected.
We just need to pass
and get to the lake.
She's not sick.
She's just given birth.
No need for that.
Unless you use it as
a walking stick you lean against
As you bow.
Which I recommend we all do,
As this is our new king.
You look familiar.
My name is louis,
and we're cousins.
Many times removed.
I've seen you at court.
Relax.
You're safe now,
among loyal subjects.
And a few mutts that bark
long before they bite.
Nathan.
Have you seen my wife?
No.
But I'm as bleary-eyed
as you look.
There have been desertions.
I was up all night
Managing the security
of the lockdown.
That's what you should
tell your wife to do.
Lock down in your quarters and stay there.
I did.
She left a note saying she was going
out this morning. Trying to find
The child we care for.
Man: Quickly, now,
Secure lord voland
and his family.
You've made things
very difficult.
A noble fell ill
in the gallery.
It caused a minor panic. It sent
pierre voland and his family
Scurrying to their
private quarters.
Now he's locked in there
with his entire household.
I don't see how you could
get to him without
Killing the others
as witnesses.
Did you not receive my message?
I did. And I'm giving you
the chance to reconsider.
As the landscape has
quite literally changed.
Look outside.
Villagers all around are burning
the homes of the infected.
Now the fires
are burning out of control.
Those other holdings
you were counting on.
We have no grain.
After the plague has passed,
a famine will spread
Across the land.
Many will die.
And their deaths
will be on you.
Take that to your grave
when the hungry rise up
And kill you.
There now,
that's better.
All I needed was
a bit of water
And all you needed was milk.
Your cousin's been generous.
How long are they
planning to stay here?
He says
until the plague has passed.
And then they'll return home.
He rules over a region
two days' travel from here.
It'll be rough terrain
that they'll cross,
But his men and horses
Will be
well-rested.
It could be
days for us.
The only other road
to the castle
Is blocked by fires raging
On either side.
I'm sorry.
Would it really have been
so awful to tell me
The truth?
I would have been angry
with myself, not you.
I tried to handle
the situation on my own,
To save you and mary
from complication.
Because you wanted
your freedom.
I know you, lola. We shared
more than a bed in paris,
And I know how you feel
about court.
You didn't want to be
tied to it or to me.
I don't
blame you.
There's little for you in it.
And one night
Should not define your life.
Or mine.
But I would have liked to have
been consulted in the choice.
So forgive me if I no longer
consult you in mine.
The lie of his paternity
can stand.
When this is done, I-I could be
on my way with my son,
Not yours.
Enough.
I know that you have been
through terrible hardship.
That is not lost on
me. But I am the king
Of France, and...
The truth is that child
is whoever I say he is.
Pascal, are you here?
There you are. I've been looking
everywhere for you. What happened?
I wanted to come
back to you,
But he wouldn't
let me leave.
I brought him food and water.
Are you hurt? What's happened?
When I held the cup
to his lips...
He started coughing.
Pascal...
Is that his blood on you?
I can't swallow
And my bones hurt.
It's all right.
Pascal, you have
to listen to me.
I'll take you someplace safe
with food and water
Where I can look after you.
We have to cover your shirt,
and you have
To act as though
you are well.
And we have
to keep you away from pe...
Guards!
They're infected!
No, no, no! No!
Guards!
No!
No, no, no, wait!
I'm one
of the queen's ladies! Please,
I'm not
sick! No!
No!
Catherine:
They will slip away into peaceful sleep
Like so many families
Caught
by this terrible plague.
Just slip away?
You are
proposing
That we murder lord voland's
Entire household.
It wouldn't have come
To that
if only you'd listened to me.
I will
not condone
The murder of innocents.
Did you find them...
francis and lola?
Many roads are blocked.
It wasn't until dawn
that I found the mill house
Where they went. The neighbors
had set fire to it.
And beyond the flames
I could see
The front door was nailed shut,
And the painted red "x"
of the plague was on the door.
Is that all?
Didn't you look inside?
I'm immune to the plague,
my queen, but not fire.
I got as close as I could,
but I saw no sign of francis
Or lola.
But if they were inside,
Between the disease and the flames...
Maybe they left.
Sought shelter elsewhere.
Until I
see proof,
I know they are alive.
They have to be.
Yes.
I don't want
to believe it either.
But you're right...
for you, francis must survive.
What do you mean?
If even a whisper
of this news gets out,
All eyes will turn
From you
to the future,
To the next king
after francis,
To me, as regent, as charles is
But a child.
You have just found out that your eldest son
Might be dead,
And your first instinct
is to seize power?
I've only had
One instinct ever,
and that is to protect
My family and their birthright,
Which is
their rule.
When this plague is done,
France will need
Two things to survive:
Food and stability.
I'll provide food with a painful
but needed sacrifice.
I'll deal with the
volands and, unlike you,
I'll provide stability
with plenty of sons to wear
This country's crown.
I won't allow you to do that.
When francis returns...
He will thank me
For saving his realm
from his very naive young queen.
Lord narcisse.
Lord narcisse.
I know that name.
He controls land around here.
More and more
Every day.
Narcisse,
What brings you here?
Same as you, lord conde.
Clean air and water.
I'm heading north,
Where the plague
hasn't yet spread.
But that doesn't explain
what our new king is doing here.
Majesty.
I am stephan narcisse.
I was a friend
Of your father's.
The king was reviewing
cathedral repairs
When the roads were cut off
by the plague. I offered
My hospitality while he waits
to return to the castle.
I see.
Very kind of you, conde.
We found the girl alone
near her house,
With a red "x"
marked on the door.
Lola: Estelle.
Her family
Were dying of the plague,
The neighbors
already gathering animal fat
To set the roof ablaze.
My god, why is she in a cage?
I realize it looks... Barbaric,
Keeping a girl
where my livestock
Should be, but the bars
are simply to isolate her
Until we know
That she's not infected.
Then she'll be released.
Had we left her there,
she would surely have died.
My heart couldn't
bear the thought.
I wouldn't get too close,
milady.
If she is infectious, then you
would have to be isolated, too.
And then you couldn't
feed your baby.
Water your horses,
then yourselves.
Why did you make up that story
about the cathedral?
This is not a man
you share secrets with.
Why don't you like him?
What has he done?
Some nobles build fortunes
with hard work
Or by serving the crown.
Others find shortcuts.
Ah.
Conde:
I'd be curious to know
If the girl's
family lived
Long enough to die of plague.
You'll know if narcisse winds up
with their lands.
Conde.
Oh, safe voyage on your boat.
I hear it's finally
arrived, waiting for you.
Oh. Did lord conde not mention
That he has a boat
waiting for him up north
To escape
the plague?
No?
I would have thought he would
offer his new friend the king
The same chance of survival
As his own. Be careful
of this one, majesty.
He's ambitious.
A new king needs to know
who his real friends are,
Especially at times like this.
Kenna:
Pascal.
Pascal, I can't hear you.
I think I fell asleep.
Would you like me
to sing you another song?
I had a dream.
I saw my
mother.
You did?
She was younger, though.
She looked...
Like you.
She said she'd
care for me.
Or was that you?
We've both been blessed
to care for you.
You're a wonderful boy
And a good soul,
And you are
and always were loved.
Pascal, god loves you, too.
Pascal?
Pascal, can you hear me?
god will love you, too.
Kenna.
If you can hear my voice,
answer me!
Woman: I'm here!
Help! Kenna.
I'm so thirsty.
No, you can't
Go that way.
That's the gallery.
You can't go in there.
Please, I want to go.
It's full
of people.
Man:
My lord.
Stay back.
I'm surely infected, too.
Oh, no.
Thank you for coming.
That's close enough.
I'm stricken.
I don't know
how it happened.
I was so careful.
Is there anything I can do?
Oddly,
You've already done it.
I can meet my maker
with less blood on my hands.
Your hesitation to take a life
has saved me from taking many.
I simply didn't have time
before falling ill
To murder
that household.
There's something else
you should know.
I didn't want to be me either.
Well, I blame henry.
Being a queen unloved
By your king is excruciating.
And dangerous.
Henry loved you.
Some.
Once.
Not enough.
Not the way that francis
Loves you.
An indiscretion,
Even a child, doesn't have
to get in the way of a marriage.
Don't let lola come between you.
Because you are nothing
but a guest in this court
Without the support
of your king.
It worked.
How long will
her symptoms last?
The dose I gave her will
only last a day or two.
And then she will have
a miraculous recovery.
We can only pray she
doesn't suspect our hand.
You have risked much
to help me.
Death already walks
the halls freely here.
And to see catherine
feed it more souls...
I couldn't save
my own family,
But I can save this one.
I was dishonest with you.
I understand why you didn't
tell me about the boat.
It's like an ark
in a great flood.
If word got out, it could be
overrun or taken from you.
That lady sparkling
by the fire is my mistress,
Lady doutzen of amsterdam.
She's married.
I'm not.
But we share in the sin
and so much more.
When people started dying, I
promised her a safe voyage home.
Some of my men
will go with her.
The other passengers are members
of her household, her children.
There's still room
for one more mistress
And her child.
Lady lola is not my mistress.
I love my wife.
If you love your wife,
put them on the boat.
Lady lola could marry again.
And the child won't grow up
like your brother...
A bastard spoken of
in scornful whispers.
You'll have others.
I know what it is
to make a mess of love.
Go back to your wife.
Without the poison
of a lover and a bastard child.
Conde's boat is leaving
in the morning.
You can accompany them
to the netherlands
And then continue on.
You can live
your own lives.
What will you do?
I'm going to ride out
in the morning.
I have to get back to mary.
Finally.
Still waiting on your
handsome young soldier?
Shh.
I'm not so sure
he's coming.
But I haven't given up hope
just yet.
Mary:
Eduard narcisse, I have
Brought you here to tell you
That lord voland's family
is not to be harmed
Under any circumstances.
Where is the queen mother?
I am the queen of France,
And you are my subject.
What is your real grievance
with lord voland?
Even you wouldn't slaughter
an entire household for a woman.
This could have been so much
cleaner for me and for you.
I'm not the kind of man who
likes to get his hands dirty.
One favor...
It's all I asked. One life.
But now so many.
What did you do?
After I found the poison,
I found the dumbwaiter,
Which delivered
the water
Directly into
their locked suite.
Oh, god, no.
Mary:
They're all dead.
Poisoned.
Find out who each and every
member of this household is.
For even the servants' families
deserve to know.
Dear god, stop their suffering.
You there...
Child, are you all right?
Wait. I know you.
You gave me back my clementine
before when she fell.
They've all fallen now.
So much suffering.
What's happened to you?
Why aren't you with your family?
Are you dead?
Girl:
Yes.
Am I? Was I infected?
No.
You'll live.
But I'm not sure where
I'm supposed to be.
The same is true of many
others, and they're angry.
We're not leaving.
Not till we're done.
Done? With what?
There will be a reckoning.
Mary,
I didn't realize you...
That I was having you followed?
I knew you would
signal for the grain.
I was right about you.
You don't want
to risk my husband's ire.
It's one thing
to murder a foe...
An entire household.
Another to starve his court,
So, let's put it behind us.
Take him.
Make sure he's unarmed. Why?
You can't change anything.
It's done.
Yes, it is...
And by your own admission.
Murder is a very serious crime.
Even during a plague,
when it seems
Some people believe
that a little extra
Death shouldn't
trouble us.
The volands are already gone.
You may have this shipment of
grain, but what about the next?
Why make an enemy
out of those you need most?
What do you gain?
Justice.
Take him away.
You're wasting
your time!
My father will free me!
No, he won't...
Because he'll never find you.
Kenna? Kenna?
Kenna, can you hear me?
Kenna: Bash! Bash?
Is anyone here?
Kenna? Kenna, is that you?
Bash!
Bash!
Kenna!
Is that you? Bash!
It's all right. I'm here.
I'll free you.
Hurry!
Stand back.
oh, bash.
Oh, thank god you came!
I was afraid
you were dead.
I was afraid
we both were.
Oh, bash, pascal...
He was infected,
and now he's gone.
Well, it's over now.
You're all right.
We're both all right.
the ship is two days'
ride from here,
With frequent stops
for rest.
Your friend and her baby will
manage the trip comfortably.
I'm grateful.
Lola?
Lola, he's crying.
Come on, don't cry.
All right, then.
Shh, shh.
Lola:
I'm sorry.
I went to fetch water
for the trip.
He was asleep when I left.
Francis...
The party is mounting up.
Riders will follow
to carry your things, my lady.
Thank you.
?a you need not have come
?a to my lair...
I understand all the reasons,
I do. I ju...
I just can't.
?a do not know
who you'll find in there ?a
You can't leave
on that boat.
You won't take away my son.
?a sink my claw
into the snow... ?a
Eduard:
You're taking me to the catacombs.
That's where
the sick are locked up.
If you put me down here,
I'll die!
Mary: I'm aware.
I'm what this realm needs.
Nobles like my father
lord narcisse gave the crown
To your husband's family.
They can take it away.
You're making a mistake!
And your husband
will hate you for it.
As soon as he learns
how the world works,
How it's always worked.
Open the door, put him inside.
His mother knows it.
So did his father.
His heart beats
with their blood,
And there is
nothing older
Or stronger than royal blood.
You'll see.
No! No!
?a out amongst the wild...
No! Mary!
No!
No!
?a for you to arrive
?a and the one you're holding
?a is not the one
you left behind ?a
?a he'll be there waiting
?a for all of your life
?a and though our goals are all
?a at one
?a with the snow
?a I could not turn away from
all I wish I did not know. ?a

Girl:
Oh, no.
Is that my husband's child?
Lola: You were engaged to bash.
If you tell francis,
I essentially
become his.
Greer:
You're a servant.
Nothing can ever happen
between us.
Remember this as the moment
that you threw
Your happiness away.
So let's have that drink now.
Father, my evening took
the loveliest turn.
Guard: The king is dead!
Long live the king!
Guard 2: The king is dead!
Long live the king!
Tell me your darkest truth,
and I will tell you mine.
Lola is giving birth.
You are the father of her child.
The time is now. We need
to think like queens.
Mary: You are going to a village
which has likely been exposed
To plague. You can't leave.
Your friend, my child.
Perhaps my only child.
Listen to your heart
and you will hear it
As clearly as I do.
Mary:
It is upon us now,
An old and faceless foe.
We have confirmed reports that
the black death has returned
Once more to plague our lands.
Catherine:
You needn't fear.
Only take care.
Where is our young king?
King francis is safe.
He is protected
in a private home.
You are all protected.
I have ordered the
castle be made secure
To prevent the arrival
of infection.
What if the plague's
already here?
Catherine: Anyone who is sick
will be treated
With dignity
and kindness.
Catherine's being too nice.
What she'll really want
Is the sick rooted out or
turned in by their neighbors.
Catherine: But if you should
feel unwell, we urge you
To seek our expert care.
There are early signs.
Fevers.
The expulsion of blood.
But more commonly, aches, pains,
Bulbous sores that will burst.
The blackening
of extremities. Contact
With others spreads the disease.
Aloysius, is that
your daughter with leith?
Are they together?
It can't be.
I'm not jealous.
I'm worried.
Why is that?
Leith made a sort of vow
when things ended.
That he'd attain wealth
and station
And that I would be forced to
witness his rise and happiness
With another.
You think that's why he's
sought out my daughter.
Greer:
I don't know.
There. That's
my father,
And that's his fiancA?e.
Leith:
That's your father?
I'll be back.
Catherine:
And none have fallen ill
Among us.
The queen can confirm this.
No one at court has shown signs
of the plague, not one.
And I pray none will.
We are prepared,
And we are in the best position
to survive.
We are far from
prepared. How could we be?
Where is francis?
I tried to stop him,
but I was too late.
I've sent guards, ones that can
be trusted with the knowledge
That the king is not safe...
Mary!
Can you tell us
what's happening?
We have taken precautions.
As far as we know,
no one here has gotten sick.
As queen, I will need
to be isolated.
I can't stay with you.
I'm so sorry.
Greer:
Are you all right?
Where is francis, really?
He wouldn't leave you. Not now.
Lola sent word. She's having
The baby.
There are...
Problems with the birth.
Will she be
all right?
I don't know.
All I know
Is that she is my friend,
and francis is my husband.
And god willing, there is
an innocent new life.
I tried to stop him
from going to her
When I found out
about the plague.
But he went anyway.
You were trying
to protect him.
And now I must protect his people.
Greer: Mary,
Your task is
to survive.
That's what francis
would want.
When were you going to tell me?
I had no idea
Lord castleroy is your father
until you pointed him out.
But then you were off to him
before I could even stop you.
Off to my father
and his fiancA?e.
I met greer just
a few days ago.
I liked her.
It's over.
I wouldn't have pursued you
in any way
If it weren't
or if I'd known who you are.
If you could be with her now,
would you?
I can honestly say I would not.
These could be our last days
on earth.
Spend them with me.
I'm not sure that's a good idea.
We could... Hide away somewhere,
Away from
everyone.
Yvette,
this isn't wise.
A rooftop somewhere.
I don't care.
We'll bring food and blankets.
There's things I must do.
Tomorrow then.
I'll find you.
You should be away from others.
If you're exposed, you risk...
I know. I know.
But you can't come
to me at my father's suites.
There's a family,
old friends.
I'll make an excuse to check in
on them and wait for you there.
I don't know, yvette.
I'll send word once I'm there.
Bash.
I just spoke
with mary,
And they are isolating people
merely for seeming unwell.
Of course they are.
They have to.
And if anyone is truly ill
with plague, chaos will follow.
There isn't enough food. Not
for every household at court.
Not for the weeks it will take
For the disease
to burn itself out
Or the famine that
will surely follow.
You're not an optimistic fellow,
are you?
I've had food brought
to our chambers,
As much as I could demand
in good conscience.
Kenna, you have to find
pascal and secure yourselves
Until the plague has passed
Or passed us over.
How long will that take?
Weeks.
Maybe longer.
you should go. Now.
I'll find you after I
confer with the kingsguard.
Why you?
Because francis isn't here,
And I know the chief of the
guards. They're scared, too.
But they need to know they're
accountable for their actions
When this is over.
Man:
My wife's going
To be furious.
Some court gathering.
But I'd die without
your company.
So would I.
Man:
Your majesties,
My apologies
For missing
the gathering. I...
Not today, sir.
My lord,
please join us.
Who are you?
Lola:
Francis.
It's all right. I know him.
You're alive.
Yes.
To my surprise.
So is the child,
thank god.
It's a boy.
You have a son.
And here we are...
the two of us.
It's been hours.
Why hasn't francis returned?
Speak freely. The king's guards
are sworn to secrecy.
Surely he saw signs of the
plague before he got too far.
And why would he go on
just to help one of your ladies?
And where are the guards
that you sent?
Delayed, clearly,
Or deserted.
Or dead.
The music.
That's the signal
that someone has fallen ill.
It's begun.
Less than half a day since
we announced the threat.
Whoever is sick
was already here,
Which means there
will be more to follow.
but the airs near us will be
Burned clean.
It worked for the pope.
Who is it?
Who has fallen ill?
A stablehand.
The sores are already
In evidence. He'll be
dead within a day, two
If his body can endure
the suffering.
I heard you sent guards
for francis.
I asked for volunteers.
As they have not returned,
I would like to volunteer.
Why you?
Because he believes himself
immune to the plague.
The young family you lost.
I've had the misfortune
of living in two regions
Of outbreak. And I should
have died with them,
But I did not.
Lola's letter said
she was at the house
Just north of the mill?
Yes, but...
There is unrest and many
other dangers besides illness.
And if any
have befallen my son,
Who has risked so much
for your friend...
Unless there's another reason
why he has rushed to her side.
Tell me, mary, is there?
Do not
Taunt me or seek to sew discord.
Not this day.
Nostradamus is willing to risk
his life to save our king,
My husband
and your son.
Thank him and say good-bye.
I order you as your queen,
Show your gratitude
and then grant me your silence.
Thank you,
Nostradamus.
pascal.
Pascal, stop. I've been looking
for you for hours.
Come on, we have to go.
The servants seem
to be scattered.
I'm merely asking this one to help
fetch some food from a larder.
He's no servant... he's my ward.
I need help.
My wife's taken shelter
with other family.
I'm on my own.
He's coming with me.
It's girls like you
who get men like me
Locked away from our wives
In the first place.
What does that mean?
Whores.
You were the king's whore.
He's dead.
You're nobody now.
I am married
to the current king's brother.
I am a lady.
Queen mary's
Disgraced lady, wed
To the bastard with a
title designed to make
Everyone laugh.
I ought to have you whipped.
I'll do it.
I'll fetch whatever
you need and then
I'll come back to our
Quarters,
all right?
Pascal, you don't
have to do this.
I'll come right
back, I swear.
No thank you, estelle.
You need to sleep, lady lola.
You've lost too much blood.
The carriage outside...
is it yours?
Yes.
There was a driver,
but he left on foot
When he heard of the plague.
To be with his family.
I know that's where
you'd like to be
As well. At
mary's side.
I came thinking
that you might be dead
And my child might be
alone in this world.
Well, that would be simpler.
That's not what I wanted.
I'm saying that
I didn't have
a moment to think.
And I resent you
for lying to me.
I am king, I should be
at my court with my wife.
You could have taken the child
straight back to the castle.
It is your right.
The boy who sent for the midwife
Said the bridge was out.
I'd have to cut around the east
village, hard hit by plague.
It would take
more than a day to return.
How would I keep a newborn
alive without
Its mother?
I see you've considered the possibility.
And yet...
You haven't touched the
baby. It's all right
To admit that you don't
want this. I know you don't.
No one beyond this room
need know
The truth of this child's
parentage.
My poor julien is dead,
But the child
will have his name.
You have it all
sorted out, don't you?
You and mary.
George, your fingers.
Lola:
Oh, lord, he has the plague.
We have to leave. Now.
It's for the babe.
It wasn't near my brother.
You didn't touch him either,
Did you?
You should leave this house.
You could ride
one of the horses.
I can't leave my family.
You'll die.
Pardon my saying so, but...
I'd be no safer on my own,
or with the king of France.
You'd do better with guards.
Or lying about
who you are.
Godspeed to you both.
Mary: Lord eduard,
how may we help you?
Many of the nobles
have secured themselves.
Others prefer to drink
in the gallery
As if nothing is wrong,
but the death count mounts.
Do you know how many are dead
So far?
Fourteen.
14, here on our first day
of contagion.
How many will be dead
when we wake tomorrow?
Do you count the lower class?
Servants and the like,
taken to the catacombs,
The tower,
the south keep?
I count every life lost.
Now what do you want?
To add another to the pile.
I'm sorry to be
so abrupt,
But while my enemy
is accessible I need
To strike.
I don't understand.
There's someone
I thought untouchable.
I'd like him to die of plague.
Put him in one
of the mass holding cells.
He'll be infected
soon enough,
And no one
will heed his cries.
You come here and blatantly
request we murder your foe?
If it were
A request I wouldn't
be so blatant.
It's more of a demand.
One I have no doubt
you will grant.
And what will you gain?
Catherine.
Vengeance.
Pierre voland beds my new wife,
And with
some frequency.
His father's a close friend
of my father's,
They engage in trade as well.
I'd kill him myself,
Or have someone do it,
But I fear
reprisal.
What, from
your father?
If your vengeance
cost him money.
Catherine,
that's enough.
Don't you want to
know the details?
What's at stake?
What kind of animosity
lurks within your realm?
Here are the details.
As you know,
my family provides grain
And meat to the entire region,
But more than that,
The castle relies
on our weekly deliveries.
These deliveries happen when
I signal that I've been paid.
Nobles have raided
the stores of food.
Mm. And in order to
maintain control
Over them,
the servants, the guards
And the soldiers
who live within reach,
You need this week's
delivery to happen.
Or they may reach
for your necks.
Food for survival
in exchange for one life,
Easily taken.
I leave you to consider
The opportunity.
Welcome
to your rule,
My queen.
And welcome
to the real France.
Is that how you and henry
have maintained your rule?
By bowing to your nobles?
It's simple math.
If one life saves more,
You have your answer.
One life matters.
Every life matters.
We will find grain elsewhere.
I don't think you
understand who eduard is.
He comes from a large, wealthy
family with many holdings.
What more do you want me to understand?
That as a royal
You are given your
position by birth or marriage,
But your power
comes from nobles...
From the regions that
only they can control.
We have order, food and money
Because they grant it to us.
And in exchange, we
Grant them certain
privileges. Deny eduard,
And you and francis
will pay a very high price.
Francis would never
agree to this.
He hasn't been king yet.
We can punish eduard,
claim his grain.
Claim a noble's property?
Others will revolt.
The death could
be painless,
I can help with
that. One death,
And you'll forget about it
when you see your hungry
Are fed. I won't forget about it.
I have sacrificed
Lives before,
and every one
Takes me a step further away
from the person I want to be.
The person you are...
Is queen.
And a favor for a favor
keeps you on the throne.
That is your way.
And you were right,
In what you said before.
I want to be a different
kind of queen.
One that my husband
is proud of.
Send word to
lord eduard.
Tell him that I have
considered his request
And that it has been denied.
I'm surprised
you're not
Holed up in castleroy's suite.
I'm surprised
By how quickly you put
your threat into motion.
I don't blame you for
suspecting otherwise.
Given what I said to you.
But meeting yvette
was blind chance. I didn't
Know she was castleroy's
daughter, I swear.
Really. What are the odds?
That I would meet
someone above my class
With an open heart?
Someone who didn't care
Whether or not I was titled?
Slim, I assure you.
You're going to pursue her, aren't you?
Whatever happens,
It has nothing to do with you.
It has everything
To do with me.
Don't you understand,
If you married her, you would
be in my life. My son-in-law.
Even before that, we'd be
forced to see each other,
To pretend there's nothing
between us, and...
Maybe there wouldn't be
for you. Maybe there isn't.
It was days ago that you broke my heart.
If you feel
Anything for me at all,
don't test me in this way,
For I will fail. I will
make a terrible mistake
And I will be destroyed.
I was on my way to meet her.
Please don't.
shh.
Francis, the baby...
I-I can't feed him.
I need water. I need to
drink something or else...
I know, that's why
we stopped. There's a clean
Lake ahead, but...
We're not the only
ones here, are we?
Francis:
No, we're not.
Let me talk to them.
What's wrong
with her?
We're not
infected.
We just need to pass
and get to the lake.
She's not sick.
She's just given birth.
No need for that.
Unless you use it as
a walking stick you lean against
As you bow.
Which I recommend we all do,
As this is our new king.
You look familiar.
My name is louis,
and we're cousins.
Many times removed.
I've seen you at court.
Relax.
You're safe now,
among loyal subjects.
And a few mutts that bark
long before they bite.
Nathan.
Have you seen my wife?
No.
But I'm as bleary-eyed
as you look.
There have been desertions.
I was up all night
Managing the security
of the lockdown.
That's what you should
tell your wife to do.
Lock down in your quarters and stay there.
I did.
She left a note saying she was going
out this morning. Trying to find
The child we care for.
Man: Quickly, now,
Secure lord voland
and his family.
You've made things
very difficult.
A noble fell ill
in the gallery.
It caused a minor panic. It sent
pierre voland and his family
Scurrying to their
private quarters.
Now he's locked in there
with his entire household.
I don't see how you could
get to him without
Killing the others
as witnesses.
Did you not receive my message?
I did. And I'm giving you
the chance to reconsider.
As the landscape has
quite literally changed.
Look outside.
Villagers all around are burning
the homes of the infected.
Now the fires
are burning out of control.
Those other holdings
you were counting on.
We have no grain.
After the plague has passed,
a famine will spread
Across the land.
Many will die.
And their deaths
will be on you.
Take that to your grave
when the hungry rise up
And kill you.
There now,
that's better.
All I needed was
a bit of water
And all you needed was milk.
Your cousin's been generous.
How long are they
planning to stay here?
He says
until the plague has passed.
And then they'll return home.
He rules over a region
two days' travel from here.
It'll be rough terrain
that they'll cross,
But his men and horses
Will be
well-rested.
It could be
days for us.
The only other road
to the castle
Is blocked by fires raging
On either side.
I'm sorry.
Would it really have been
so awful to tell me
The truth?
I would have been angry
with myself, not you.
I tried to handle
the situation on my own,
To save you and mary
from complication.
Because you wanted
your freedom.
I know you, lola. We shared
more than a bed in paris,
And I know how you feel
about court.
You didn't want to be
tied to it or to me.
I don't
blame you.
There's little for you in it.
And one night
Should not define your life.
Or mine.
But I would have liked to have
been consulted in the choice.
So forgive me if I no longer
consult you in mine.
The lie of his paternity
can stand.
When this is done, I-I could be
on my way with my son,
Not yours.
Enough.
I know that you have been
through terrible hardship.
That is not lost on
me. But I am the king
Of France, and...
The truth is that child
is whoever I say he is.
Pascal, are you here?
There you are. I've been looking
everywhere for you. What happened?
I wanted to come
back to you,
But he wouldn't
let me leave.
I brought him food and water.
Are you hurt? What's happened?
When I held the cup
to his lips...
He started coughing.
Pascal...
Is that his blood on you?
I can't swallow
And my bones hurt.
It's all right.
Pascal, you have
to listen to me.
I'll take you someplace safe
with food and water
Where I can look after you.
We have to cover your shirt,
and you have
To act as though
you are well.
And we have
to keep you away from pe...
Guards!
They're infected!
No, no, no! No!
Guards!
No!
No, no, no, wait!
I'm one
of the queen's ladies! Please,
I'm not
sick! No!
No!
Catherine:
They will slip away into peaceful sleep
Like so many families
Caught
by this terrible plague.
Just slip away?
You are
proposing
That we murder lord voland's
Entire household.
It wouldn't have come
To that
if only you'd listened to me.
I will
not condone
The murder of innocents.
Did you find them...
francis and lola?
Many roads are blocked.
It wasn't until dawn
that I found the mill house
Where they went. The neighbors
had set fire to it.
And beyond the flames
I could see
The front door was nailed shut,
And the painted red "x"
of the plague was on the door.
Is that all?
Didn't you look inside?
I'm immune to the plague,
my queen, but not fire.
I got as close as I could,
but I saw no sign of francis
Or lola.
But if they were inside,
Between the disease and the flames...
Maybe they left.
Sought shelter elsewhere.
Until I
see proof,
I know they are alive.
They have to be.
Yes.
I don't want
to believe it either.
But you're right...
for you, francis must survive.
What do you mean?
If even a whisper
of this news gets out,
All eyes will turn
From you
to the future,
To the next king
after francis,
To me, as regent, as charles is
But a child.
You have just found out that your eldest son
Might be dead,
And your first instinct
is to seize power?
I've only had
One instinct ever,
and that is to protect
My family and their birthright,
Which is
their rule.
When this plague is done,
France will need
Two things to survive:
Food and stability.
I'll provide food with a painful
but needed sacrifice.
I'll deal with the
volands and, unlike you,
I'll provide stability
with plenty of sons to wear
This country's crown.
I won't allow you to do that.
When francis returns...
He will thank me
For saving his realm
from his very naive young queen.
Lord narcisse.
Lord narcisse.
I know that name.
He controls land around here.
More and more
Every day.
Narcisse,
What brings you here?
Same as you, lord conde.
Clean air and water.
I'm heading north,
Where the plague
hasn't yet spread.
But that doesn't explain
what our new king is doing here.
Majesty.
I am stephan narcisse.
I was a friend
Of your father's.
The king was reviewing
cathedral repairs
When the roads were cut off
by the plague. I offered
My hospitality while he waits
to return to the castle.
I see.
Very kind of you, conde.
We found the girl alone
near her house,
With a red "x"
marked on the door.
Lola: Estelle.
Her family
Were dying of the plague,
The neighbors
already gathering animal fat
To set the roof ablaze.
My god, why is she in a cage?
I realize it looks... Barbaric,
Keeping a girl
where my livestock
Should be, but the bars
are simply to isolate her
Until we know
That she's not infected.
Then she'll be released.
Had we left her there,
she would surely have died.
My heart couldn't
bear the thought.
I wouldn't get too close,
milady.
If she is infectious, then you
would have to be isolated, too.
And then you couldn't
feed your baby.
Water your horses,
then yourselves.
Why did you make up that story
about the cathedral?
This is not a man
you share secrets with.
Why don't you like him?
What has he done?
Some nobles build fortunes
with hard work
Or by serving the crown.
Others find shortcuts.
Ah.
Conde:
I'd be curious to know
If the girl's
family lived
Long enough to die of plague.
You'll know if narcisse winds up
with their lands.
Conde.
Oh, safe voyage on your boat.
I hear it's finally
arrived, waiting for you.
Oh. Did lord conde not mention
That he has a boat
waiting for him up north
To escape
the plague?
No?
I would have thought he would
offer his new friend the king
The same chance of survival
As his own. Be careful
of this one, majesty.
He's ambitious.
A new king needs to know
who his real friends are,
Especially at times like this.
Kenna:
Pascal.
Pascal, I can't hear you.
I think I fell asleep.
Would you like me
to sing you another song?
I had a dream.
I saw my
mother.
You did?
She was younger, though.
She looked...
Like you.
She said she'd
care for me.
Or was that you?
We've both been blessed
to care for you.
You're a wonderful boy
And a good soul,
And you are
and always were loved.
Pascal, god loves you, too.
Pascal?
Pascal, can you hear me?
god will love you, too.
Kenna.
If you can hear my voice,
answer me!
Woman: I'm here!
Help! Kenna.
I'm so thirsty.
No, you can't
Go that way.
That's the gallery.
You can't go in there.
Please, I want to go.
It's full
of people.
Man:
My lord.
Stay back.
I'm surely infected, too.
Oh, no.
Thank you for coming.
That's close enough.
I'm stricken.
I don't know
how it happened.
I was so careful.
Is there anything I can do?
Oddly,
You've already done it.
I can meet my maker
with less blood on my hands.
Your hesitation to take a life
has saved me from taking many.
I simply didn't have time
before falling ill
To murder
that household.
There's something else
you should know.
I didn't want to be me either.
Well, I blame henry.
Being a queen unloved
By your king is excruciating.
And dangerous.
Henry loved you.
Some.
Once.
Not enough.
Not the way that francis
Loves you.
An indiscretion,
Even a child, doesn't have
to get in the way of a marriage.
Don't let lola come between you.
Because you are nothing
but a guest in this court
Without the support
of your king.
It worked.
How long will
her symptoms last?
The dose I gave her will
only last a day or two.
And then she will have
a miraculous recovery.
We can only pray she
doesn't suspect our hand.
You have risked much
to help me.
Death already walks
the halls freely here.
And to see catherine
feed it more souls...
I couldn't save
my own family,
But I can save this one.
I was dishonest with you.
I understand why you didn't
tell me about the boat.
It's like an ark
in a great flood.
If word got out, it could be
overrun or taken from you.
That lady sparkling
by the fire is my mistress,
Lady doutzen of amsterdam.
She's married.
I'm not.
But we share in the sin
and so much more.
When people started dying, I
promised her a safe voyage home.
Some of my men
will go with her.
The other passengers are members
of her household, her children.
There's still room
for one more mistress
And her child.
Lady lola is not my mistress.
I love my wife.
If you love your wife,
put them on the boat.
Lady lola could marry again.
And the child won't grow up
like your brother...
A bastard spoken of
in scornful whispers.
You'll have others.
I know what it is
to make a mess of love.
Go back to your wife.
Without the poison
of a lover and a bastard child.
Conde's boat is leaving
in the morning.
You can accompany them
to the netherlands
And then continue on.
You can live
your own lives.
What will you do?
I'm going to ride out
in the morning.
I have to get back to mary.
Finally.
Still waiting on your
handsome young soldier?
Shh.
I'm not so sure
he's coming.
But I haven't given up hope
just yet.
Mary:
Eduard narcisse, I have
Brought you here to tell you
That lord voland's family
is not to be harmed
Under any circumstances.
Where is the queen mother?
I am the queen of France,
And you are my subject.
What is your real grievance
with lord voland?
Even you wouldn't slaughter
an entire household for a woman.
This could have been so much
cleaner for me and for you.
I'm not the kind of man who
likes to get his hands dirty.
One favor...
It's all I asked. One life.
But now so many.
What did you do?
After I found the poison,
I found the dumbwaiter,
Which delivered
the water
Directly into
their locked suite.
Oh, god, no.
Mary:
They're all dead.
Poisoned.
Find out who each and every
member of this household is.
For even the servants' families
deserve to know.
Dear god, stop their suffering.
You there...
Child, are you all right?
Wait. I know you.
You gave me back my clementine
before when she fell.
They've all fallen now.
So much suffering.
What's happened to you?
Why aren't you with your family?
Are you dead?
Girl:
Yes.
Am I? Was I infected?
No.
You'll live.
But I'm not sure where
I'm supposed to be.
The same is true of many
others, and they're angry.
We're not leaving.
Not till we're done.
Done? With what?
There will be a reckoning.
Mary,
I didn't realize you...
That I was having you followed?
I knew you would
signal for the grain.
I was right about you.
You don't want
to risk my husband's ire.
It's one thing
to murder a foe...
An entire household.
Another to starve his court,
So, let's put it behind us.
Take him.
Make sure he's unarmed. Why?
You can't change anything.
It's done.
Yes, it is...
And by your own admission.
Murder is a very serious crime.
Even during a plague,
when it seems
Some people believe
that a little extra
Death shouldn't
trouble us.
The volands are already gone.
You may have this shipment of
grain, but what about the next?
Why make an enemy
out of those you need most?
What do you gain?
Justice.
Take him away.
You're wasting
your time!
My father will free me!
No, he won't...
Because he'll never find you.
Kenna? Kenna?
Kenna, can you hear me?
Kenna: Bash! Bash?
Is anyone here?
Kenna? Kenna, is that you?
Bash!
Bash!
Kenna!
Is that you? Bash!
It's all right. I'm here.
I'll free you.
Hurry!
Stand back.
oh, bash.
Oh, thank god you came!
I was afraid
you were dead.
I was afraid
we both were.
Oh, bash, pascal...
He was infected,
and now he's gone.
Well, it's over now.
You're all right.
We're both all right.
the ship is two days'
ride from here,
With frequent stops
for rest.
Your friend and her baby will
manage the trip comfortably.
I'm grateful.
Lola?
Lola, he's crying.
Come on, don't cry.
All right, then.
Shh, shh.
Lola:
I'm sorry.
I went to fetch water
for the trip.
He was asleep when I left.
Francis...
The party is mounting up.
Riders will follow
to carry your things, my lady.
Thank you.
?a you need not have come
?a to my lair...
I understand all the reasons,
I do. I ju...
I just can't.
?a do not know
who you'll find in there ?a
You can't leave
on that boat.
You won't take away my son.
?a sink my claw
into the snow... ?a
Eduard:
You're taking me to the catacombs.
That's where
the sick are locked up.
If you put me down here,
I'll die!
Mary: I'm aware.
I'm what this realm needs.
Nobles like my father
lord narcisse gave the crown
To your husband's family.
They can take it away.
You're making a mistake!
And your husband
will hate you for it.
As soon as he learns
how the world works,
How it's always worked.
Open the door, put him inside.
His mother knows it.
So did his father.
His heart beats
with their blood,
And there is
nothing older
Or stronger than royal blood.
You'll see.
No! No!
?a out amongst the wild...
No! Mary!
No!
No!
?a for you to arrive
?a and the one you're holding
?a is not the one
you left behind ?a
?a he'll be there waiting
?a for all of your life
?a and though our goals are all
?a at one
?a with the snow
?a I could not turn away from
all I wish I did not know. ?a
