Reign (2013–2017): Season 2, Episode 2 - Drawn and Quartered - full transcript

Previously on reign...
Mary: We have confirmed reports

That the black death
has returned

Once more to plague our lands.

I understand all the reasons.
I do. I just can't.

I won't let you take
my son from me.

I will rise

Until I am rich
and powerful.

But I will never
be yours again.

Is that your daughter
with leith?

Mary:
Eduard narcisse.

How may we help you?



There's someone
I thought untouchable.

I'd like him to die of plague.

Food for survival...

In exchange for one life.

Every life matters!

We will find grain elsewhere.

You murdered
an entire household!

Why make an enemy
out of those you need most?

Justice.

Take him away.

My father will free me!
No, he won't.

Because he'll never find you.

No! Mary!

No!



they won't know

who we are

so we both can

pretend...

it's written
on the mountains...

There's 12 corpses.

All adults.

No... No shovels, no hooks.

Keep your gloves on
and wrap them with care.

You should get
some rest, my lord.

It's not your job
to handle the dead.

It's ours.

No, we have to give
them proper burial.

So their souls can find rest.

and the pieces broke

and people wanted more

and the

rugged wheel

is turning

another round

I knew he was alive.
I could feel it in my heart.

Thank god you were right.

Please don't tell
francis that I mistook

My illness for the plague.

It's embarrassing.

dorian...

Mary.

Where is lola?
Is she all right?

Mary.

Lola.

The-the child, is it...?

I have a son.

Bash, oh, thank god
you're all right.

We have to talk soon.

I need an advisor I can trust.

I want you on my council.

You're already
talking politics.

Because I am already king.

I'm no politician, francis.

I don't belong
on a privy council.

It's a liar's job.

dorian, carrion

Mary?

I'd like you to meet
the man that saved our lives.

My cousin.

Louis of conde.

Oh, he's easy on the eyes,
isn't he?

will you ever let...

Thank you for bringing
them home safely.

Thank you so very much.

It was an honor.
As is this.

You and your men must rest here
before you leave.

Your kisses are more
easily attained

Than your words.

I left impulsively.

You did.

And now I have returned
with lola's child.

I held him and...

I don't know what role
he'll have at court,

But I want to be
a part of my son's life.

Of this child's life,
but we will have others.

Mary, my father's
indiscretions

Were blatant, but out
of respect for his wife,

He gave bash no
title or standing.

It hurt him.

And it hurt me to see it.

The eyes of the world are
watching to see if we will...

If I can bear an heir.

Not just for France.

For scotland.

And for England as well.

I know this has nothing to do

With the role you decide
to have in your son's life...

Well, perhaps it should.

Those who are close to us...

Even here at court
will know the truth.

Your mother has
guessed it already.

Spend time with your son
absolutely, but...

But don't claim him.

Officially, you mean.

Yes.

Thank you.

I'm surprised to see you.

My deepest sympathies

For the loss
of your son eduard.

Can I get you anything?
Some lemonade?

I thought this castle would
be the safest place for him.

Why wasn't it?

Bring us some whiskey.

Lord narcisse is here.

Asking a lot of questions
about his son's death.

I explained that he showed
symptoms of plague,

High fever, rash.

You are good to cover for me.

Lord narcisse will never know.

His son did die of plague.

His body will tell the tale.

Eduard murdered an entire
household to kill one foe.

Since he cared so
little for people,

It's fitting that he
died among the lowborn.

I have asked much of you...
not the least

That you betray your very
dangerous friend catherine.

She was mortified that she
overreacted to her symptoms.

She hates being vulnerable.

But it is hard
not to enjoy it.

We tried to save lives.

I owe you.

And I will protect you.

So many people died here.

Nobles, servants alike.

I was in my chambers
when your son took ill.

But nostradamus, he...
Yes.

I've already spoken with
your court physician.

A-a father can't
help but wonder

About his son's final days.

I survived by fleeing
to the country.

I feel that I should've
sent for him.

There was nothing
you could do.

I need to go see him now.

You do understand, don't you?

When was this room sealed?

Two weeks ago, my lord.

Most nobles died
in their chambers.

Were many nobles
sent here by mistake?

Couldn't say, sir.

It was a living hell.

Do you see him?

Not yet.

That is my son.

Wrap him.

Carefully.

Who's there?

This one is still alive.

How could anyone
still be alive?

He must be immune.

Water.

That is my son.

Were you with him?

Did you see him die?

We will get you some water
and something to eat.

And then you are
going tell me

All about
what happened to my son.

Ah, this is nothing compared

To what we'll do
for your coronation.

But your safe return is
cause for celebration.

It's nice to see some joy in
this castle after so much grief.

I hear you had a hand
in our new chambers as well.

One bedroom for
husband and wife.

Good luck to both
of you with that.

I thought narcisse was leaving

With his son's body.

Why is he back with
so many nobles?

King francis.

Narcisse.

My lords.

I'm pleased to see you're
all alive and well.

In the wake of the plague,
I will be calling on all of you

To enforce my laws.

Together you control
vast regions of France.

Some of you will be valued
additions to my royal council.

Of course, king francis.

But we're here to ask
something of you as well.

Justice.

What's this about exactly?

My son eduard...

Was murdered.

Here in your castle
while you were away.

By nostradamus,
the court physician.

I don't know what grudge
you held against my son.

I had no argument with him.

Then why did you make
false diagnosis?

Why did you condemn him
to death?

These are serious allegations.

My son was healthy
when he was thrown in

With servants
riddled with plague.

I know this because
a witness, a survivor,

Has told me this tale.

My son

Was deliberately infected.

I assure you,
if a mistake was made,

Nostradamus intended no harm.

Assure us all...

Your loyal nobility,
that we are still safe

Under your rule.

We who collect your coin,
we who grow your food,

We who provide your soldiers,

We who uphold your laws.

Hold the murderer
of my son accountable

To these same laws.

And show us that no life,
especially

One of our own,
may be taken with impunity.

Take nostradamus
away for questioning.

Eduard murdered an
entire household...

Men, women and children.

I did what I had to.

And narcisse knows it was you
who killed his son?

I was the one who forced
eduard into the plague room

Against his will.

If there was a survivor,

He would have
witnessed everything.

There was another survivor
of your crimes, mary.

Me.

You drugged me,
didn't you?

You were so adamant
to stand up

To the nobles,
and I got sick

Just when you needed
me out of the way.

I had to stop you.

Oh, you wouldn't delve into
my poisons without help.

It was
nostradamus.

Your actions

Spared no one,
saved nothing

And cost us
all dearly.

Narcisse wants the guards
who brought his son

To the catacombs
executed as well.

We don't have to accede
to his demands.

You and henry might have
bowed to the nobles,

But we won't.

We kept the
nobles happy.

If they feel
betrayed,

They can rise
up against you.

I've seen revolts
firsthand,

A full-scale rebellion could
mean the end of your reign.

I know that you want
to do things differently,

But I'm not sure
that this is the time.

The plague shortages have given

Too much power to narcisse.

The nobles follow him now,

And they are watching
our every move.

Then let them
watch you,

And that you be
above reproach.

This was my mistake
and I'll fix it.

Man:
Whoa.

Oh...

Lord
castleroy.

Wasn't this enough for you?

A kitchen boy, given some of
the best lands in the region.

You had to have
my daughter, too?

Lord castleroy,
I am so sorry.

Yvette was kind and...

She was everything
you told greer you wanted.

Rich and innocent

And my daughter.

How greer would
have suffered

To see your rise,

And what a close view
she'd have had.

I can assure you
that I didn't realize

Who she was until after we...

If my daughter
had never met you,

She would be alive!

I would never have hurt her.

Castleroy:
I don't know that,

And neither do you.

Given the proximity you
would have had to the woman

I know you love.

Look, please, just...
Look, wait...

Greer:
Leith, no!

Stay away from my family.

Or I will destroy you.

Queen mary.

Where is your husband?

I would prefer it
if we settled

This matter
privately.

I think you know who's
truly responsible

For eduard's
death.

You are.

But, as you
are a queen,

You're nearly untouchable.

Nearly.

But those that
lied for you,

I can reach easily enough.

That is how I will punish you.

Your son was
a monster.

He asked me to
murder his enemy,

And when
I refused,

He poisoned an
entire household.

Why didn't you arrest him?

I let my anger get
the best of me.

And my outrage.

And what of mine?

He was my son!

He was loyal

And obedient

And he had his whole life
ahead of him.

He was to marry an archduchess,

Gain one of the most prized
farming regions in France...

He was to marry into land?

He told me he was
already married.

That voland had slept
with his wife.

Why did he really
want voland dead?

You also said
he was obedient.

Was he following
your orders?

I am queen.

You will answer my questions.

Why did you want voland dead?

I command you!

No, you command nothing!

I don't fear you,

I don't fear your husband!

Because without me,
without the other nobles,

Your power disappears.

We are the outside world,

And we surround you.

There is a consensus

Amongst the other nobles,

Given my son's station,

That an example must be made.

So when the dawn comes,
nostradamus and your guards

Will be drawn and quartered.

That is a horrific

And agonizing death.

This is what they want.

This is what
will satisfy them.

And you will learn
never to cross me again.

My mother's
been negotiating

To spare nostradamus,
but it's no use.

Narcisse wants
retribution,

And he has the nobles
on his side.

Murdering innocent men
to teach me a lesson.

He's more wicked
than his son.

Why didn't you wait?

You could have
had him arrested.

If I had, narcisse would have
pressured us to release him.

We'd be in the same
position we're in now:

With him trying
to force your hand.

If his son were alive,

Narcisse wouldn't be
consumed with revenge.

It was reckless, mary.

I saw an entire
family be murdered.

My rage took hold.

It might not have been
the best decision,

But it was justified.

It was a choice
that you made alone.

What is it?

I know I told you
to go to lola,

But then the
plague came

And you knowingly abandoned
me to a nightmare.

You are the king who
deserted his castle,

And I am the queen who
was left behind, alone.

Alone because of
your mistakes.

Out of all the people
you could have slept with,

Did it have to be
one of my ladies?

One of my
closest friends?

We can't afford to do this now.

If you bow to
narcisse now,

You'll be doing it for
the rest of your rule.

What kind of king
do you want to be?

I've been trying to figure out
what kind of king I can be.

Whether there is a way
to stop this execution

Without destroying
my relationship

With some very
powerful nobles.

If only we had something
to leverage against narcisse,

We could force him to back down.

Conde suspects
narcisse

Of murdering families
to take their lands.

I'll send my brother
to the villages

Where he acquired property
during the plague.

You're looking for
evidence of murder.

Something to
blackmail him with.

Anything.

What is it?

I believe

Eduard was acting on
his father's orders.

I don't know why narcisse
wanted voland dead,

But I'm going
to try and find out.

The execution
is at dawn.

I promised nostradamus
my protection.

One way or another,
we have to find something.

Maid:
These are lord voland's chambers.

Mary:
Leave me. Thank you.

Lola:
Mary.

Lola, what are
you doing here?

Francis explained your
situation with narcisse.

I wanted to help.

Francis shared
that with you?

I was with francis

When we met narcisse
on the road.

It gave me chills
to see him here at court.

I could see

Francis was troubled and
I asked him what was wrong.

When was this?

When he asked me

How the baby was doing.

Mary,

I know our situation
is painful...

And for you, too.

Does he have a name yet?

I call him robert,

After my youngest brother.

If francis
claims him,

He may choose
another name.

I suppose it would be best
for you, if he did.

You'd rise above
speculation and gossip.

You would both gain
status and respect.

I just want to be with my child.

The more time I spend with him,

The less anything else
seems to matter.

It's all right to take joy
in being a mother.

You don't have to
hide that from me.

What is it?

It's from the
privy council,

To lord voland.

"in response to your
urgent request..."

It says voland was desperately
seeking an audience

With the king before he died.

Well, you said you want to help.

I need you to find out
whatever you can

About voland's final hours.

He wanted to tell
francis something...

I need to know what it was.

It is you.

When they announced
that you were here,

I, uh... I didn't believe it.

I feel as if I betrayed you.

I didn't mean to tell
lord castleroy what you said.

What you said
in anger.

But at
the time...

You thought it was true.

That I would steal the heart
of another just to wound yours.

I was upset when I saw
you and yvette together.

I realized how jealous
I sounded to lord castleroy,

So I told him your words.

As if it was just my concern
for his daughter.

I did it to protect myself.

You're good at that, aren't you?

Not really.

I've poisoned everything.

There's little but hate and
mistrust between all of us.

I wish I could
turn back time,

But I can't.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry and...

I pray the day will come

When I no longer regret
that I loved you.

Please don't blame yourself
for yvette's death.

If I'd let you
go to her...

Never tell your fiancé that.

Let it be,
greer.

What's done
is done.

Don't cause him any more pain.

Let that be a vow
that we both keep.

You should go.

Don't come back.

Bash:
I'm investigating lord narcisse.

I've heard many of the dead
lost their lands to him.

Gravedigger:
They were murdered.

He plucked the deeds
to their lands

From their stiff,
cold fingers.

Or so I'm told.

Do you have
any proof?

There's proof
of murders,

Theirs and plenty of others,

If you want to dig it up.

It's all under there,

Buried with the rest
of the unfortunates.

In the same
mass grave

With all the actual
plague victims.

Corpses came by the cartful,

The sick and the murdered.

And once they're
tossed in...

Who's going to ask questions?

Don't take it
too hard, my lord.

Same thing happens
every plague.

Justice suffers and dies

With the rest of us.

Woman:
Deesh-kin...

Aarin kir mograndee.

Who are you?

Why are you doing that?

From the castle, now, are you?
I am.

I hear the nobles
locked themselves in

With cakes and fine wines,

While we watched
our loved ones rot

And turn black before our eyes.

There were many deaths
at court as well.

Bury them well, mind you.

So many.

Wickedly mistreated,
not just in life, but in death.

Do people really
expect them to go?

What do you mean?
It's hard enough

To get spirits
to leave us, but now?

There's a door

Between the dead and the living,

And the plague kicked it down.

And if the dead
aren't guided through...

The door stays open.

The door is open.

They'll get to us
before you know it.

There will be...

A reckoning.

Mary:
So we have no proof to use

Against narcisse
unless we want to dig up

Mass graves
and release the plague?

If narcisse

Is using the plague
to cover his crimes,

He's not the only one.

Neighbors, catholics,
protestants...

They're killing each other.

Even a cardinal's
body was found

In an alley with
his throat slit.

A cardinal? Who?

Cardinal morosini, killed
for the gold in his vestments,

They say.

I'm here to see mary.

What did you find?

I spoke with a castle page.

Before lord voland
joined his family

In their chambers, he insisted
on taking confession.

I had to bribe a few altar boys,
but I got the priest's name.

Father lucien.

Where do we find this priest?

You look troubled, brother.

I know you call
nostradamus friend.

I do.

And he's a friend
we may need.

What do you mean?

He has certain skills.

And I know that you don't
believe in them or the occult.

But something has
changed out there.

There's talk in the village
that the dead are still with us.

People feel guilty
for surviving.

They torture themselves.

No, a guard heard
screams of the dying

From an empty room.

Servants claim that old castle
ghosts have returned.

And a woman in the village
claims that all this death

And injustice has left
a door open

Between this world and the next
and some of the dead

Are on the wrong side of it.

Still here among the living?

And that they stay because
they were treated wrongly.

Either not given proper burial

Or cut down unjustly.

Murdered.

What does this woman
think the dead want?

The truth revealed.

You mean revenge.

I loved henry.

But he was a terrible husband
and a worse father.

What kind of a father

Do you hope to be?

Nothing like him.

Really?

Then what will you do
about lola's child?

Will you claim him?

I haven't decided.

You must be worried
he might be your only child.

I'm speaking to you
as a mother.

As your mother.

I can tell you that
if you do not claim him,

There will be a distance
between you and that boy

For the rest of your lives.

He will never be king.

But he might be
your only chance

At being a father.

And I can promise you
that raising him

Will be the singular joy
of your life.

Aloysius.

I was just going to change
and meet you downstairs.

Your servants said you went into town.
Yes, I bought

Some things for the children.

You were gone a long while.

when it's all falling apart

I'll be the one...

I went to see leith.

I know you are
in pain,

But there's no need
for such animosity.

Leith is racked

With guilt.

I am, too.

You must know
I'm loyal to you.

and you can't find
the spark...

I have been wondering
about your loyalty of late.

Leith's vow...

Was said... In the moment,

In anger.

I chose you.

You chose the life
I could give you.

I chose you,

And you chose me knowing
that I'd loved another,

That I had done

Ruinous things
for that love.

You knew that
about me.

I didn't know how it would feel.

it's all gone...

I have business that
will take me away for some time.

How long?

I don't know.

I'll be seeing
my younger children as well.

I need to be the one to tell
them that their sister is dead.

Will you be back?

I don't know.

together

I'll be there.

I'm not afraid

Of breaking my vows,
queen mary.

What I do fear
is lord narcisse.

I will stand
against him.

Father, I made a mistake
a few weeks ago,

And now innocent men could pay
for it with their lives.

Whatever voland told you
could save them.

Please help me.

Lord voland worked
with narcisse.

They collected money for the
vatican, but greed interfered,

And they kept some of the
church's gold for themselves.

Cardinal morosini
discovered their crime.

Cardinal morosini?

He was found dead

In a neighboring village.
Protestants were blamed

But never identified.

I know the truth.

It was narcisse and voland
who killed him.

Voland's heart
filled with remorse.

Narcisse knew his resolve
was weakening,

So before voland could confess
to your king or to the church...

He had him killed.

Along with his entire family.

you understand

We could destroy narcisse
with this.

The vatican would strip
him of his power.

You must testify
to the king

And to the assembled nobles
at court.

But what I've told you
I can never repeat.

I'm just a lowly priest;
narcisse has people everywhere.

I'd be dead
in the blink of an eye.

He killed a cardinal!

I could compel you.

For information taken
in holy confession?

The vatican itself
can't hear it.

It doesn't exist.

I know that your wife...

She is your queen.

I know that your queen
is working against me

To stop the execution.

She doesn't value
my friendship,

But you should.

Because you are a true friend
to the crown.

Hmm. You don't like me,

But you need me.

My lands feed your people,

Your court.

I kept henry afloat
long after his wars

Plunged France
into debt.

I am aware
of the crown's debts.

But not how in debt
it is to me.

I heard about the execution.

If lord narcisse demanded it,

Those men are
certainly innocent.

Careful of your accusations.

I could make some of my own.

You've made them to others;
you can make them to me.

I believe this man to be
a secret protestant,

A radical, practicing
the faith of your enemies

In England
and germany.

Is this true?

No. I am a catholic
and a frenchman.

But I believe France
should be ruled by you,

Not by blood money from rome.

The vatican is corrupt...
they're betraying their faith

By allowing the strong to prey on the weak.
You've proved

My case for me.

He is a radical.

A catholic who hates
the catholic church.

I hate any man
that hides behind god

While they murder and steal.

Men like narcisse,

Protected by the
church and the crown.

Your father
built his power

By giving the nobles
what they wanted.

If he were here now,
he would let those men die.

And what do you
expect him to do,

Risk disenfranchising
the nobles he depends on?

Well, maybe it's time
we change things,

Shift the power
back to where it belongs,

With you, our king.

You're unsure
of who to trust.

Yes, I am.

Then trust no one but yourself.

Trust your sense of what
is right and what is wrong.

Because when
the dawn comes

And those men are let
outside, you'll have

To decide what kind
of king you want to be.

Have they hurt you?

They're going
to lead me out soon.

For last rites.

Are you going to share
your plan with me?

I'm afraid there is no plan,

My old friend.

I'm so sorry.

But I shall make sure
you are remembered.

All your works

Will be published.

I will have sonnets written...

And... A statue built in paris.

A statue?
Mm.

After all I've done for you!

Do not blame me
for the choices you have made!

If you had stayed
loyal to me,

Eduard would
still be alive,

None of this would
have happened. You...

You brought this on yourself
when you helped mary.

There is nothing I can do.

You think you're untouchable...

That your sins will stay buried,

But they don't.

Surely you realized that
when you met your daughter.

Clarissa?

She's dead and buried now.

Mary killed her.

You thought clarissa's death
fulfilled the prophecy.

And that is why
I supported

Francis marrying...

Is clarissa alive?

Tell me, nostradamus.

Have you seen her?

Have you had
another vision?

Will francis live beyond
the death you once foresaw?

Ask your statue.

Conde.

Where are
the royals?

I suppose they've chosen
to look the other way.

Someone must bear witness
to this travesty.

Innocent men
shouldn't die alone.

You won't die alone.

They're preparing for

The drawing and quartering
as we speak.

We must do something.

We don't have any leverage
against narcisse.

We have the truth
on our side

And we have you.

You are king.

Doesn't that count
for something?

Yeah, well,
it's not enough, mary.

We need something that
we can hold in our hands.

Well, perhaps lord
voland kept a journal.

Or wrote a letter.

I have lola looking now.
We're out of time.

I can't let these men
die for my mistake.

Narcisse:
Do you know why they wrap the bindings

All up the arms and legs?

For a good,
clean break.

I've seen it done
the other way, too,

Bonds at the
wrists and ankles

Taking off just
the hands and feet.

You bleed to death
as the one horse

Takes the lead
and drags you behind.

Which do you think
will be more painful?

Your death or my son's?

I've seen your death.

You'll suffer, too.

And I have seen the suffering

On every inch
of my son's corpse.

I will think of
him as you die.

You do the same.

On my signal,

Spur your horses!

No, stop! Riders, dismount.

Rein in
your horses. Now.

Even a queen needs grounds.
Unbind him.

There will be
no execution today.

You have just lost France
for you and your king.

When the nobles hear of this...
I found

Lord voland's confession.

Handwritten before his death.

What are you talking about?
He wrote it all down:

How you both stole
from the vatican

And then murdered the cardinal
before he could inform on you.

Voland's remorse
that followed,

His need to clear
his accounts with god,

And his fear that you would
silence him before he could.

His confession

Is in the hands of a messenger

Headed to your friends
in rome as we speak

To reassure the vatican
that no life, especially one

Of their own,
can be taken with impunity.

Mary.

I will handle this.

But I have proof.

Not anymore.

My letters.

You intercepted my riders. Why?

You don't have to bow to him.
Mary,

Leave us.
You, too, conde.

I am your queen.
You owe me an explanation.

You owe France
and your subjects a just rule.

Go to our chambers,

Where private discussions
between husbands and wives

Should take place.

I am not just your wife.

You are not king
either.

Leave us now.

I always
thought

You should have married
a common girl,

Like your father.

Rich, of course,

But without a title
she felt obligated

To club people with.

I don't like you.
I don't care. You need me.

I'm glad that
you've realized that.

Lord voland's seal.
I stopped the riders

Because I understand
that we need each other.

Nostradamus is a favorite
of my mother's,

And none of these men
really caused your son's death.

You will free them as a favor to me.
That might

Be difficult
to explain to the nobles.

You riled them into a frenzy
on your behalf.

Now tell them
you are satisfied.

Manage them,
and I will manage my wife.

There will need to be
some satisfaction,

If you want all of this
to go away.

No more bloodshed.

Land.

Of my choosing.

Nostradamus and the guards
have been freed.

You were brilliant.

And he didn't ask to see
the contents of the letters?

I burned them before
he could see they were forged.

We have narcisse
at bay, but...

Well, what is it?
What's wrong?

I had to give him
something else as well.

This is very fine land.

Who are you?
It's a rare parcel.

Undamaged by fire.
Still producing.

And all that separates
two larger parcels of mine.

The king has deeded
this land to me.

That's impossible.
Why would he take it away?

Ask king francis yourself.

He's requested your
presence at court.

At court?

But I can't go there.

You can. And you will.

I don't know
what's changed your mind.

You were right before;

A politician
is a liar's job.

Even today I had to betray a
friend to save lives. Well,

This job is different.
Enforcing the laws,

Keeping the peace beyond the
castle walls. My wife tells me

That in scotland they call this

The king's deputy.
Ah.

The realm is growing unstable.

You need someone out there
you can actually trust.

Why are you kneeling?

You're the king,
and I'm nothing.

Until you make me something.

Don't say that.
You're my brother. Then give me

The job already.

Do it up properly. Use my sword.

Very well.

Sebastian, I hereby
appoint you

The king's
deputy,

With all rights
and apportionments so accruing.

Nostradamus, you're too injured to ride.
I have to.

What will you tell catherine?

That you had
another vision.

Of a better life.

God willing.

mary?

Why did you ask me
to the nursery?

Your father

Was king henry ii
of the house of valois.

You are francis ii,
the king of France.

I'm mary stuart,
queen of scots.

Whatever happens to us
while we live

And when we are long gone,
nothing can change that

Or take
it away.

I don't understand.

The world is a cruel place.

And it's cruelest to the weak.

They are bullied and sacrificed,

Mocked and murdered
and they die in agony.

Mary, why are you talking...

Give him your name.

Give your baby your name.

Not even my name
can make him safe.

No, but it can make him safer.

Mary...
If you think

I don't know the risks, I do.

But if I don't want to
end up like catherine,

I can't push
this child away

Like she did with bash.

I have to open my heart.

So...

...Do right by him,

With my blessing,

And claim him
as your own.

And our marriage
will be stronger for it.

I'm never sure that
I'm holding him right.

Oh, I could show you.

Support his head,

Like so.

See?

I remember holding you
in my arms

When you were this little.

I beg your pardon?

When I gave you life,

I thought it was the greatest
thing I'd ever done.

All the treaties I'd made,

All the wars and the whores
were nothing

Compared to that.

Who are you talking to?

Don't you recognize
your own father?

Usurper.

What did you just say?

Did I say something, your grace?

You don't remember?

remember what?
