Reign (2013–2017): Season 2, Episode 11 - Getaway - full transcript

Previously on reign...

Henriette: How did we die, mother?
She suffocated you.

Do to claude
what she did to us.

If you don't do it,
then we will,

And she will suffer.

Forgive me.
You're burning up.

The brand of the
three dark riders.

They wanted me to know
that whenever they choose,

They can lift up my shirt

And demonize me.

Antoine.



Antoine:
Little brother.

Your reports have grown briefer.

And fewer.
Why is that?

Conde:
I know I agreed to marry claude

On behalf of France,

But I've realized I can't.

I've fallen in love
with a queen.

You blame me for
what happened.

I believe that we should
lead separate lives.

Hang them all

Here in the courtyard, so the
others can see what fate has

In store for those who would
rise against us.

Man:
Go on, take it back now.

Man 2: Yeah, how much longer?
It's freezing.



Careful with that one.

I just can't stop thinking
about your sister.

Kenna...

I know she wasn't well, you were
just taking her to her chamber.

I don't know why I
keep dwelling on it.

Then don't.

It's just, claude is so pretty
and so adventurous.

She was in your arms...

Kenna, please
not now.

It's so silly of me
to be so jealous.

She's your sister.

Half sister.

What?

Just being accurate.

We have different
mothers.

Let's not talk
about our families.

Man: An urgent
matter, my lord.

Orders were to
display the traitors

For two weeks,
then cut them down.

The good thing about this
cold, there's barely...

Get to the point.

Well, some of them,
their clothes are torn.

You know how it is, my lord,
the birds come and peck...

I know.

So we saw it.

Checked every body,
it's the same.

It's in the same place on each
traitor who stormed the castle.

Bash: Looks like the mark
of the dark riders.

Cardinal perazzo.

Cardinal vasari told us rumors
of these dark riders,

But he thought it
a tale for the credulous.

What do you
think happened?

The dead men are
all protestant traitors.

They all bear a mark.

Must be some secret seal,

A pledge amongst
their brotherhood.

You make a great deal
of sense, your eminence.

They must have made up this
story of the dark riders

To cover their tracks,
should anyone spy the brand.

I'll send my swiss guard to
discover these traitors among us

And root them out.

Forgive me,
your eminence,

But this is a matter
for the king's justice,

And as I am the
king's deputy,

I assure you I
will handle it.

After I gather
evidence.

My son,

These men are
religious extremists,

Answerable to the
ecclesiastical courts.

You're telling me
to step aside?

Speak to your brother, the king.

You'll find he has no wish
to challenge the pope.

?a they all need something

?a to hold on to,
they all mean well ?a

?a you could never
feel my story ?a

?a it's all you know... Oh!

?a

Excuse me.

Castle is freezing,

And, as I suspected,
your hearth's gone cold.

I'll only be a moment.

How long are you going to keep
playing this game?

I don't understand.

I told you that we would
lead separate lives.

And yet, every day or two,

You come here with something
to keep me more comfortable.

You don't say anything,

But I can feel you
pressing me to talk.

You're wrong.

I don't expect you to talk to me

Or do anything
you don't wish to do.

I was thinking, it might be good
to get away from the castle

For a while...
away from the memories.

I haven't yet visited
our chActeau in chambord.

Well, that sounds like
a very good idea.

I'll come with you,
to make sure you're safe.

I prefer to go alone.

Don't you see,
francis?

If we go together,
it will only give you hope.

Hope that things will return
to the way they were.

I don't have hope.

I know that I'm a constant
reminder of what happened.

Additional guards then,
to accompany you.

I'll see to it.

Your eminence, I've come
to discuss the branded men.

The matter is in hand.

Public notices
displaying the brand

My men are there
to encourage neighbor

To speak out against neighbor.

Yes, but, as it happens,
I'm not convinced

The bodies weren't marked
after death.

Someone may be deliberately
linking the brand

With protestants,
using it to fan the flames

Of hate toward them.

Yes, come in.

Cardinal, forgive me.

But this noble lady
has information

Concerning a traitor,

A man she saw who
bears the mark.

Go on, dear lady,
unburden yourself.

I'm afraid I can only share this
under the oath of confession.

As you know, the mark is hidden
by clothing, so when I saw it,

I'm afraid I was
sinning at the time.

I will hear
your confession myself.

May we have the room?

are you sure that
he's all right?

The nannies say
it's common at this age.

They just won't settle
for days on end.

It goes away in time,

All we can do is wait
for it to pass.

Well, let the nannies
relieve you at least.

Where are they?

Perhaps it's foolish, but...

Oh, I just don't
feel comfortable

Leaving him with someone else.

Not since the attack
on the castle.

shh...

Prince condA? has been accused
of bearing the brand.

Who has accused him?

I learned the news
during confession;

My source must remain secret.

My penitent is a married lady.

So condA? slept with that woman.

Convenient she's coming
forward now, isn't it?

CondA? is a good patriot,
who's helped the crown.

I struggle to see him
as dangerous.

Perazzo: I understand
your reluctance,

But the matter is
easily settled.

My men will bring
prince condA? in,

And we will see
if he has the brand or not.

If he does, he'll hang.

To the carriage
at once.

Your grace, as the new
captain of the royal escort,

I am charged with providing
your protection to chambord.

Chambord can wait.

Besides you, the only other
person who saw the brand

Was a woman
named josephine.

Whom you slept with?

After you'd been branded?

Yes.

Uh, why are you
taking your spurs?

My horse is...

No, forget your horse.

You'll be arrested before
you've gone half a mile.

You'll travel in my carriage...
I will take you to chambord.

Your home in condA? is the first
place they'll look for you.

And if someone finds out
we're traveling together,

Chambord will be
the next place they look.

If only we could get you to your
brother, the king of navarre.

But the roads along the
border will be crawling

With swiss guards.
My brother's not in navarre.

There's an estate
one day's ride south from here.

It belongs to a friend
of antoine's.

If we can get
you there,

You can travel to navarre
under his protection.

man:
Prince condA?.

By word of cardinal perazzo,
we demand you open up.

Quick, to my carriage.

It's in the alley,
out of sight.

My god, I've missed the way
you mix garlic with arsenic.

Oh, you'll exhaust
yourself flattering me.

Death made
me lovesick.

It's cold there
in the dark.

But you... You are
downright toasty.

Yes.

Don't be stingy.

Claude's a healthy
young woman.

It'll take a lot more
to bring her down.

Slowly poisoning her protects
me from getting caught.

Is that what this is
really about, hmm?

Not getting caught?

She's our child.

So are the twins.

And since I'll be with
them for eternity,

I take their wish for
vengeance into account.

Claude was only five
when she murdered the twins.

She didn't know
right from wrong.

God must take these things
into consideration.

I don't doubt claude
will go to heaven.

And believe me, she'll get more
mercy from god than the twins.

You've felt
their power,

Haven't you, catherine?

Yes.

See, when they decide to
take her, it won't be quick.

You'll wish you'd
done it yourself,

And sooner.

Ah, kenna.

With death
comes wisdom.

What did I ever
see in her?

Well, it was her ass.

You mentioned
it many times.

Are you talking to me?

Why would
I talk to you?

You just said something
about my ass.

Not everything is
about your ass, kenna.

Move it
out of the way.

Oh, dear.

Oh, no.

This soup will make
you feel better.

Bash:
Poison?

You weren't there, that soup
just didn't smell right.

Besides, why is
catherine bringing all

Of claude's
meals herself?

And she wiped the blood
away from claude's nose

Before the girl
could even see it.

People do get bloody noses.

Yes, just like
that neapolitan count's men,

Whom catherine also poisoned.

Catherine has been
acting odd lately.

But killing her own child?

She lives for her children,

No matter how she argues
with them.

If you think claude's in danger,

Do what I do.

challenge catherine to a duel?

Gather evidence.

Test your theory.

Herald: Mary, queen of France
and scotland.

Prince louis of condA?

And lady castleroy.

Brother,

What a delightful
surprise.

Now, queen mary, it is

A pleasure to finally
make your acquaintance.

Louis speaks very

Highly of you.

King antoine, I apologize for us

Dropping in on
you unannounced.

Nonsense.
You were just announced.

In fact, as you can see,
we're planning

A gathering here tonight.

You'll grant us the privilege
of being

Our guest of honor?
Uh, we wouldn't want

To delay the queen, antoine.

I was planning

On continuing my journey.

Well, not without a rest
for your horses, surely?

And somewhere to sleep?

Oh, come, how often do

The queen of France and
the king of navarre get to meet?

Grace us
with your friendship.

Allow our two nations to share
more than just a border.

Of course.

I would be honored.

Wonderful.

We'll ready you
a chamber at once.

Louis?

Let's get you settled in,
shall we?

You were supposed

To be getting close to francis.

My eyes and ears.

Yet you're here,
absconding with his wife.

How do you think
he'll respond to that?

I didn't have a choice.

What could possibly

Have prevented you from...?

They weren't able
to arrest condA?.

He'd already got word and fled.

I heard.

I questioned one
of condA?'s servants.

And finally got
him to understand

We were friends
of his master.

He said that condA? escaped
in mary's carriage.

Mary got him away?

So she just swooped in
and grabbed him

Under the vatican's nose.

I wonder where
she's taking him.

She has the heart
of a warrior.

Yes, despite everything
that's happened.

You know.

Kenna was troubled
and needed to talk.

Is mary all right?
I've been worried.

I don't know.

It's my fault.

Every choice I made
led to what happened.

They were narcisse's choices.

But now that he is

Out of the picture,
it's still mary

That's doing what must be done.

It's time that I worked
with her.

She's fighting
the cardinal's witch hunt.

And I must, too.

You can't go to war
against the vatican,

Francis, you know that.

There must be some way
to at least

Loosen their grip.

When mary returns,
I don't want her to see me

Cowed and powerless,
pretending

That I am blind
to injustice.

I want her to see
the man and the king

She thought she married.

Cardinal perazzo
claims the brand

Is the infallible sign
of a protestant traitor.

But I wonder

How he'd explain it

If a loyal catholic
were branded.

I sent a page
to your quarters.

He said you weren't
receiving messages.

I was preparing for the party.

That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.

You shouldn't stay
just to be polite.

My brother's parties
have a tendency

To become somewhat scandalous.

Well, now I'm intrigued.

This is awkward.

Yes, it is.

Antoine: Thank you all for coming.
A toast to our

Guest of honor.
Queen mary,

You're radiant.

Like venus rising
from the foam-flecked sea.

And tonight...

I will select one
nobleman and one lady.

Now, they may be married,

But not to each other.

It is to your benefit to wear
your hearts on your sleeves

Tonight because my game,
as always,

Will be to pair those who share

A secret desire for each other.

For my first couple,

I call upon lord lepine...

And lady malbouef.

?a there was a time

?a when the mountains
kept their place ?a

?a they stood in line...

I'm beginning to see
why your brother's wife

Prefers to remain in navarre.

Greer:
Good heavens.

What if the king chooses me
to be paired with someone?

We should leave.

Yes, uh, one of us
should leave.

The married one.

Good night, then.

I think I may retire
to my chambers.

My curiosity has
been satisfied.

And I don't think this
is an appropriate party

For me to attend
without my husband.

Where are you
off to, brother?

Why don't I have
a normal family?

Well, because you're
a prince of the blood

And the brother of a king.

You're not charming me tonight.

Well, then may I apologize?

I was wrong earlier.

Bringing mary here was
a brilliant idea.

Navarre is like you
at french court,

A-a small protestant presence,

Surrounded
by powerful catholics.

And Spain on one side of us,
France on the other.

To survive,
we must know every step

Our friendly neighbors
are taking.

I already know
why you need me to spy.

Forget francis.
He's a catholic hardliner.

There's enough blood
spilled to make that clear.

We'll never win him over.

But mary, you say, is open.

A sympathizer.

Mary is the royal
you should be

Getting close to.
Are you asking me

To seduce the queen of France?

She has influence
over her husband.

No.

Oh, come now.

She saved you at her own risk.

She clearly likes you.

Now, take her to your bed.

They all fall in love
with you after that.

And once she falls,
the rest will follow.

Mary has no romantic
feelings for me.

You never changed a woman's mind before?
It's not possible.

This is not
even close to the right time.

And why is that?

Look.

I'm just not interested in her.

To be honest, she's a bit
prudish for my tastes.

I heard you were ill,
so I put together

Some of the finest
cheeses and croissants

To help you feel better.

Perhaps I might read
to you as well.

Have you heard
of this fellow chaucer?

This is a barbarous country.

I hope our next assignment's
in Italy.

If that's a hint,
put it out of your mind.

We go where the pope sends us.

Perhaps one day...

When you've climbed so high
that no one will bring you down.

No one climbs that high.

Prince condA? is
the most prominent

Protestant in France.

If you can bring him
in, discredit him,

The pope will show you favor.

Who knows where that could lead?

There's only one rung
above cardinal.

Your dreams do reach high.

I'll be sure I'm not seen.

For my next selection,
the lovely

Lady atley...

And the prince of condA?.

Another of your games?

Well, you told me you that
weren't interested in mary.

Not that you'd given up living.

Or is it that only one woman

Could satisfy?

I hope this isn't
unwelcome to you.

You seem more surprised
than pleased.

I was surprised
the king paired us.

I didn't know he was aware
of my attraction to you.

Oh. You're very polite,
but I...

Greer:
That gathering downstairs is awful.

King antoine has a lot of nerve,
inviting a woman like you...

It's not the party.

It's not anything here

Or at home.

It's me.

Everything feels
so distant.

And I cling
to that distance, greer.

I can't stand any man

Trying to touch me.

Even a courteous
touch of the hand.

It's normal.

After what happened.

It will pass.

Will it?

How do we know what's normal?

All I have to go on
is catherine.

If there are
any other noblewomen

Who have been...

Well, they're keeping it
to themselves.

As am I.

All of us alone.

What if this is what my life

Is going to be like from now on?

That's not true.

You will recover fully.

Because you're strong.

I don't feel strong.

I feel like I'm sleepwalking

And I don't know how to wake up.

If your heart wants to sleep,

Let it.

Many things can be
forced out of duty.

But not
the heart.

I can't do this.

Well, your body tells
a different story.

You're beautiful,
lady atley.

But... Another
holds my heart.

I can't get her
out of my mind.

You love her,
but you can't have her, can you?

Well, that's when a man
becomes truly obsessed.

What a pity.

A man like you
should not go unclaimed.

What are you doing?

Now I'm her.

I've watched you
for so long.

Never daring
to speak.

I want everything
you want,

Everything
you imagined.

Oh... You again.

Well, you seem more talkative.

You look better, too.

No new meals
from your mother?

Not since a clumsy visitor
knocked over the last two.

Sorry about that.
I'm all thumbs.

Try the brie.
It's delicious.

Why am I
your patient?

Are you a healer? No.

Did I ask for your help? No.

My mother's taking
perfectly good care of me.

You are so foolish!

Catherine is poisoning you,

And I'm trying
to save your life!

What?
How dare you suggest...

Think about it.
Catherine's soup...

When did you
first eat it?

When did you first
start feeling ill?

And how have you felt
since I took it away from you?

You feel better,
don't you?

Or, at least good enough
to act the horrid bitch

And only after you've eaten the
safe food that I've brought you.

Get out of here.

Has catherine ever been
this solicitous of you before?

Get out.

I can't imagine
how it must feel.

For your own mother
to want you dead.

I'm so sorry,
claude, I truly am.

What do you know?

You're only a tart
my father lost his taste for

And pawned off
on his bastard son!

I'm so sorry.

You think you're so clever!

You think
you know me so well!

Well, if you knew anything,

You'd know that bash
and I were lovers.

Perazzo:
What is the meaning of this?

I was told my cleric
randall was arrested.

A servant informed on him.

He was seen placing

A bandage over the
mark of his guilt.

Francis:
He's one of them.

A radical.

I was branded against my will!
I was attacked!

Who attacked you?

I don't know.

Uh... He wore a hooded cloak.

You see?
All he has are fairy stories

Of dark riders.

You won't deceive the
cardinal with that.

This is my cleric,

A man I've known for years.

His loyalty is indisputable!

No one's loyalty
is that, I'm afraid.

Take him to the dungeon,

Let the torturers
do their work.

Your-your majesty,

This is
an ecclesiastical matter.

I'll have the man
questioned myself.

No, I insist.

I want to show the pope

That no nation
is more loyal to him

Than France.
Randall: Listen, please...

Please!

I wounded my attacker!

Search the castle for someone
with a cut on his right arm!

I know this must be a blow.

Your trusted
cleric.

But you yourself laid out the
logic of what the brand means,

And we must accept the
truth, however hard.

Unless you've changed your mind
about your theory.

But you were adamant earlier.

I will pray for randall's soul.

Excuse me.

Is he really going to let us go
through with this? There's still time.

Right now, he's in shock, but
let him live with the picture

Of what will happen to randall.

He'll back down.
And if he doesn't?

I know that he and
randall are lovers;

It's the worst kept secret
in France.

But that doesn't guarantee
he actually cares.

I believe he does care for him.

I hope you're right.

Otherwise, we'll have to execute
an innocent man.

I came to say good-bye.

After tonight, I'm sure
you don't wish to linger.

Thank you for helping me.

I was glad to do it.

Will you really go
back to french court

When you leave chambord?
Where else would I go?

Have you considered scotland?

You might be safer there
than France.

There is unrest
in both countries.

But here you have a husband

Whose decisions endanger you.

I'm sorry, but it's true.

If it is true or not,
it is for me to deal with.

There are things
you don't know

About my marriage, things
I will not share with you.

I admire your loyalty, but...

You have no idea
what francis' intentions are,

Or how he's suffering
because of what happened.

But beyond that,

I don't trust your motives

In this advice.

I read your letter.

Oh, you never said...
Because I know

That you tried
to get that letter back.

One of the
servants you sent

To retrieve it
told me so.

You wished that letter
had never been sent,

And I respected your wishes.

I wrote that letter thinking

I'd never see you again.

That was not an attempt
at seduction.

I know.

None of us are responsible

For our hearts,

Only our actions.

I'm not accusing you
of anything.

There isn't much to say,
is there?

I suppose
honesty does that.

Good-bye, then.

If we meet again,
it'll be at a distance,

At some court gathering
somewhere.

Good-bye, prince condA?.

May you have better fortune

Than France has
offered you thus far.

Where have you been?

I've been waiting and waiting.

What have I missed?

Well, for one,
your sister claude

Told me that you were lovers.

Half sister,

And it was years ago.

We were very young, very drunk,

And claude managed
to briefly convince me

That henry wasn't her father.

Well, now I understand your
insistence on the word "half."

It was a mistake.

A very brief mistake.

And once I learned she was
lying, it never happened again.

I was mortified.

There is nothing
between claude and me,

And what little there was...
it's long in the past.

I feel like such a fool.

I tried to be
her friend.

When she was
cold to me,

I thought it was because
of my past with henry.

But no, it was your past.

Your secret.

What happened?
Are you all right?

It's nothing.

I was riding and I fell.
It's just a scrape.

That's not a scrape.
That's a cut from a blade.

You're lying to me.

Yes, I am, kenna.

Now, please stop questioning me,

Because I can't answer.

Claude is "nothing."

Your wound is "nothing."

If they were nothing,

You would
talk to me.

I've shared so many
things with you...

How trapped I felt
with your father,

How scared, how ashamed...

You want honesty?

Very well.

I got this cut while
framing an innocent man

Who's probably going to die.

And I did this for what
they call "the greater good."

I kill when it's expedient.

I lie when it's expedient.

That's who I am.

I gave him
the last rites.

Please.

I can't explain
randall's brand,

But I know he's a
good and loyal soul.

Perhaps you could
speak to your brother.

Ask him for mercy.

You convinced my brother
the brand is a mark

Of a secret league
of radical traitors.

Perhaps you could convince him

That you were wrong
about all of this.

If you want to spare randall,
try.

There must be
another way...

Representatives from
the vatican have arrived!

Call your master.

Tell him
we've come

For prince condA?.

It seems antoine's been throwing
so much money around for these

Parties of his that the
inquisitors heard he was here.

He's stalling them downstairs.

But if you don't appear soon,

They'll force their way up.
My brother doesn't have

Enough soldiers here
to stop them.

I'll surrender.

They'll hang you.

It's the only way to keep
everyone here safe.

No. There's another way.

Give me
your sword.

The brand is what
brought them here.

We'll have to get rid of it.

Conde:
Burn if off?

They won't be fooled.
They'll know what we did

Or at least suspect it.
They will. But all we need

Is enough doubt to
prevent a hanging.

With that, and with my support,

We may convince them to arrest
you and take you back to court,

Where francis can help.

Ordinarily,
I wouldn't tell you this,

Knowing your feelings.

But as I may be dead shortly...

You have a higher opinion
of the king than I do.

He's hand-in-glove

With the vatican.

Louis, please believe me.

Francis will help
when help is needed.

Very well.

I'll do it.

You've done this before?

No, but I saw
cauterizations done

During my recovery,
after the war.

Inquisitor:
His quarters are this way.

Do it now.

Inquisitor:
In the name of the holy cross, open up!

Mary:
Hold on to me.

I have you.
Inquisitor: In the name

Of the holy cross,
open the door!

It's all right.

You're all right.

Open the door in the
name of the pope!

Open the door!

You removed the brand.

That must have caused you a
great deal of unnecessary pain,

Since you'll die regardless.
Lord condA?

Had a wound that
needed cauterizing.

The result of a drunken sparring
accident with my guard, leith.

Isn't that right, leith?
It is.

Inquisitor: At the risk of offending,
your grace, I'm here

To see that cardinal perazzo's
orders are carried out.

Then we'll face cardinal
perazzo together.

We'll all go back
to french court

To ensure that proper justice
is served.

Greer:
Will condA? be all right?

I don't know.

But I will keep
fighting for him.

Because I am strong, greer.

Burning off the brand,

I had to touch someone else.

To connect.

And I was able

To help.

I don't want to go to chambord.

You said you wanted time alone.

No. Enough distance.

I've been so deep

In a well of my own pain,

I couldn't see anything else.

I forgot I'm not the
only one who's hurt.

Francis is suffering as well.

Are you rethinking
your decision then?

To lead separate lives

With separate rooms?

I don't know.

Oh, mary.

What we had once had,

It was so natural.

I missed how easy it was.

We'd make love and fall
asleep in each other's arms.

Like branches
growing together.

We didn't have to
think about anything.

And now it's
so complicated.

I don't know
if I'm ready.

Are you ready to try?

Perazzo:
My cleric was attacked!

His arrest prearranged.

Leave us.

Your brother is behind it...

Without your knowledge
hopefully.

Because a king
that makes an enemy

Of the vatican will be crushed.

My brother is behind it.

With my knowledge.

And you will
not crush me.

The vatican's brutality is
tearing my country apart.

It must end.

I'd hoped the son of henry
would be wiser.

Look around you!

Once we had a golden age,

Where all looked to rome
for leadership.

Now it's a bloodbath,
brother against brother.

I'm trying to restore order.

By spilling even more blood.

We would've propped up
your rule!

Our enemies are
your enemies.

You fool, do you really believe

Prince condA? is your friend?

All you had to do was stand back
and let me collect him.

That's what all this branding
really was, wasn't it?

Your collection of enemies
to be marked and removed.

And condA? was the biggest
fish in your net.

It ends.

You will take your men

And your myth of the dark riders

And you will leave France.

Or your lover will die.

You will release my cleric

And beg for my forgiveness,

Or the vatican
will destroy you!

Why, it all depends on what we
really care about, doesn't it?

You can crush me,
but randall will die.

You can make France suffer,

But randall will still die.

And you love him.

He's not worth the price.

No?

I understand love, cardinal.

To see it, you need only
the smallest of clues.

Before I chose randall
as our target,

I had to be sure

That you couldn't bear
to sacrifice him.

So I had the servants
in your quarters questioned.

Not about sex but

About how you two live.

And found no letters,
heard no declarations...

It's cold here...

In northern France, isn't it?

A bitter winter.

You brought a silver warming
tray with you for your bed...

Monogrammed, the
servants tell me.

But they were surprised
when they found it

Not in your bed
but in randall's.

And when they wake you
in the morning,

They say you are
pale and shivering.

Because you give
what little warmth you can

To him... Don't you?

That's love, cardinal.

When you care more
about someone else's

Suffering than your own.

You'll have the victory.

Release him, and we will
leave you to your fate.

Thank you.

Congratulations.

You've used your knowledge

Of the heart's noblest emotion

To manipulate
and destroy someone.

I see I'm not the only one
that's had a long night.

He's miserable.

Nothing works.

All he needed was
his father's arms.

Or the poor thing
finally exhausted himself.

Well, I like my story better.

I want to put him down,

But I don't want to wake him.

Your eminence?

What's happening?

CondA?.

Welcome back to court.

Bash, what's happening?
Ask francis.

You'll be proud of him
when you hear what he did.

You see?

You were working in tandem,

And you didn't even know it.

Come.

So... Did you enjoy yourself

At king antoine's gathering?

Which did you choose,
was it the sea bed

Or the garden of
secret desires?

You're jealous?

Of course not.

Then don't ask.

I'll respect your choice

To wait
for castleroy's return.

But you must put your jealousy
aside out of respect for me.

I said I wasn't...

Because your jealousy...

It only gives me hope.

What are you doing?

Where'd you hide it, mother?

What are you talking about?

Is this the poison
you've been using?

This is what you've been

Putting in my soup, isn't it?

Give it to me.
I knew you hated me.

But poison?

Why?

You murdered your sisters.

What?

Emone and henriette. Yes.

You resented
their very existence.

All the time that was
taken away from you,

The loss
of my constant attention.

Do you know that you used
to pinch them

When you thought
no one was looking?

You would hurt them.
I...

I remember wanting
your attention.

But I would never...
You would.

And you did.

You know, one day,

The twins,
they ripped silk flowers

Off of your favorite dress.

You know what you did
in retaliation?

You shoved those flowers
down their throats!

I recall that dress.

The flowers torn.

But I wouldn't kill
my own sisters.

You may not remember, but I do.

Oh, seeing the look

On your face when you heard
of their deaths.

Oh, how shocked you seemed!

Oh, the tears
that poured and the love

That you espoused for them.

Is it not possible
that I was weeping

Because I had
lost my sisters?

Because I was sad?

Because I didn't do it?

I wish that were true.

I told you
that I protected you,

That I cared for you,
and I did.

And that is
why I lied for you.

And so convincingly that you've
come to believe it to be true.

I suppose there are

Other monsters in the world.

Their mothers have
to lie for them, too.

Oh, there's
no other choice, I suppose.

But now you try to kill me?

After all these years?

I tried everything else.

I don't understand.
Tried what?

There's a price to pay
for such things.

Is this the price? My death?

Say it, mother!
Do you want me to die?

Claude, please...

If I'm the murderer

You think I am,
then I deserve

To die.

Don't!

It's all right. You were
only five years old.

You didn't know
what you were doing.

You didn't know.

Do not betray
your other children.

Catherine:
She didn't know.

?a just let me go

?a just let me go

It's all right.

?a who will save my soul?
