Reign (2013–2017): Season 4, Episode 15 - Blood in the Water - full transcript

Mary has a difficult childbirth that leaves both her and her child's life in danger. Elizabeth learns that the death of someone close to her was caused by someone in her inner circle.

Previously on Reign...
Does the archduke know about us?

I told the archduke I would
never give you up.

Gideon!

He was poisoned, Jane.

Your Majesty,

we have to go.

I will find who did this to you.

I stand before you to announce

that I am blessed and honored
to carry within me

an heir with a claim

to both the Scottish
and English thrones.



Please tell me
that you didn't burn those men.

She convinced me that it was
the only way to protect myself.

Who convinced you? Keira.

Keira is dead.

You know that this is dangerous.

I'm sorry, Mother. I forgot
you're a believer in the occult.

As soon as Charles chooses
one of the brides approved

by Philip, Spain
will finally support his reign.

The love of my life

and the new queen of France.
Come, Nicole!

You're with
the wrong man. You deserve

someone that cares for you.

Spain wants me in power.

By marrying Nicole,
you risk losing



the backing of Spain
and your throne

along with it.

Leeza,

my child, it's been so long.

Spare me the pleasantries,
Mother.

I'm not here to see you.

I want to talk to Charles
and his Protestant fiancée.

Her name is Nicole.

Your Majesty.

Charles, do you truly intend

to go through
with this marriage against.

Spain's wishes?
I'm sorry, Leeza,

but I must follow my heart.

You cannot be swayed? I cannot.

Well, then...

I suppose
there's nothing to be done.

Except stay
for the king's wedding.

You can't be serious, Leeza.

I was almost sent to a nunnery
for following my heart!

Water under the bridge.
Better yet, champagne.

And I brought a gift, too,
as a token of goodwill.

On the way here,
my soldiers rounded up

all these French heretics.

The one with
the nasty gleam in her eye

is a notorious witch.

I thought the trials could

bring us all together.

That is so thoughtful of you.

Whatever it is
that you're up to,

can we please
just get it over with?

Why would I be up to something?

After reflection and prayer,

I realized France
isn't worth my efforts.

I'll take my holiday
here and then...

leave you to your own mess.

You've been avoiding me.

I've been busy.

Charles is taking me on a
tour of France in a few days

to celebrate our engagement.

Are you going by choice
or by order of the king?

What's the difference?

And don't pretend to be
heartbroken about it.

We both know you only
pursued me to sabotage Charles

and take his throne.

However our affair began,

it bloomed into something
very, very real.

I can hardly eat or sleep.

Even my favorite earrings fail
to cheer me.

Nicole, you understand me
as no woman ever has.

And I understand you.

Admit it,
you don't love Charles...

You love me. It doesn't matter.

He can make me queen of France.

Which means I cannot love you,
Henri.

Well, it seems
we're agreed then.

We shouldn't love each other,
and yet we do.

You look...

huge!

Thank you, Greer.

I've secretly decided
I'm not leaving this chair

until I give birth.

I have some news
that might interest you.

I've called James back to court.

You've lifted
your brother's banishment?

I haven't heard back
from him yet,

but I've told him
how urgent my situation here is.

I'm still operating
without a full privy council.

You want James
to fill one of the seats?

No. I want to name him regent.

Just in case something happens
to me during childbirth,

I want someone trustworthy
to step in to lead.

You're going to be fine, Mary.

And James will come
as soon as he can.

He's loyal to you.

What is it?

Something
I probably shouldn't tell you.

I know you're trying,

against all odds, to keep
the peace with Darnley...

What has he done now?

Mary.

Um, um,
I have something. Look at it.

Look what I have made
for the little one.

It's nice, isn't it?

Please, have a seat.

How are you feeling?

Darnley,
I thought that we agreed

that you wouldn't make
a drunken,

whoring spectacle of yourself
anymore.

And yet Greer tells me

that you were stumbling
around the halls

last night,
drunk and incoherent.

Last night? Really?

Were you so drunk you
don't remember? No.

II don't remember drinking.

You don't look well.

I'm, um... I'm not...

not feeling quite myself.

Itchy shirt.

I don't know what...
This itches.

Your skin.

Darnley, your back!

WhWhat?

Here, look.

They're lesions.

I've seen something
like this before.

When I was little,
in the convent,

we used to visit the sick...

Darnley,

have you taken any lovers
with, um...

with syphilis?

No! I've...

No, that'sthat's...
that's not possible. I...

I've seen men with
that. Thethe...

the lesions all over
their bodies. Thethe madness.

I had a friend who thought
he was the red devil,

and then his teeth fell out.
I can't possibly have that.

Darnley, listen to me.

You need to see
a doctor immediately.

You need treatment.

What do you care
what happens to me?

You had me thrown in a dungeon.
Darnley, you're

my husband
and the father of my child.

I don't want to see you suffer.

I want to help you.

It...

Please, let me help you.

I don't know what to do.

I know of a facility where
they have the best treatment.

If you want to be a part
of our child's life,

you need to go there and heal.

Please.

For all of us.

You actually feel sympathy?

For Darnley,

the snake that's
tried to ruin you.

Bothwell, the man is ill.

For all we know, his illness
could have caused his insanity

and cruelty.

Don't waste this moment
making excuses for him.

This may be your last chance to
save yourself and destroy him.

I told you,
I'm not interested in bloodshed.

There's been enough already.

It seems the disease
will kill him for us.

We need only lock him away.

Then maybe you and I
might still have a chance.

Bothwell, stop.

Darnley is the king of Scotland

and he is still my husband.

We had our chance
to convict him,

and we failed.

We must accept that.

I have nothing to offer you
as a woman.

I don't believe that.

I am the man fated
to be with you.

It's dangerous
for us to be close.

And it will be especially so
when the baby comes.

My enemies will be
watching me closely.

I cannot afford to give them
any cause to gossip.

You would spend your life
denying your heart?

You are my bodyguard

and my most trusted protector.

But you can't be anything more.

I understand.

What do you mean you can't give Luc
and me the annulment? You promised!

I promised to try.
A king is not a pope, Claude.

We can't go on like this,
Charles. You said weeks ago

that this annulment
would happen.

And it will. Someday.

But right now,
my fiancée happens

to be a Protestant.
II can't be asking Spain

and the Vatican for favors.

Because you're marrying
who you choose.

I have no choice.

I know it doesn't seem fair,

but have faith.

Claude,

I've been thinking.

You should go to Leith. What?

II can't. You and I are married.

Until death do us part.

If you stay,
it's your heart that will die.

So will mine.

As much as I've wanted
this marriage to work, it can't.

You love another.

Apparently you have sent my son
to a hospital

to be treated for
a ghastly disease.

What if people hear of this?
For your information,

I have gone to great lengths
to protect your son,

even care for him,

despite his many treacheries
against me.

You should be thanking me
right now. You...

God.

What is it?

The baby.

No, fetch the midwife at once!

- The child is coming.
- Hurry!

Look at all these jewels.

And FFrench cheese.

How did you manage
to afford all this?

I didn't, Mother. They're gifts.

From Queen Elizabeth.

Lately, we've grown...
quite close.

Why does it all come
from France?

The queen is fond
of French delicacies.

I never knew a servant
of the queen

could do so well for her family.

Thank you, Father.

Well, I should be off to work.

Your Majesty?

It's been 47 days
since Gideon was killed.

Do you still think it was
your fiancé who poisoned him?

The archduke was the only one
who had motive.

He knew

how much I loved Gideon and that
I would never end the affair.

I have no proof.
But I have turned it

over in my mind again and again.

And the only other person
who knew

how much Gideon meant to me
was you.

You suspect me,

Your Majesty?
Don't be frightened, Jane.

I've already ruled you out.

You had no reason
to harm Gideon,

and you knew what I'd do to
your family if you betrayed me.

The archduke had
no such precedent.

He left me here,

to grieve on my own
while he tends

to business.

Look.

It's a manifest.

The archduke has

a Portuguese ship
sailing to Austria.

His family's business
depends on the gold it carries.

You're going to sink it?

No, I'm going to steal it.

Greer, there's something wrong.
I can feel it.

It's all right, Mary.
Just hold on.

Lady Greer.

Where are you going?
To speak with the doctor.

Tell me what's happening.

You're losing too much blood.

What happens to me
doesn't matter.

If it comes down to a choice
between me and the baby,

you choose the baby.

Mary, don't talk like that.
Do you understand?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Greer, bring Bothwell to me.

I don't want to leave you.
Please.

In case I need to say goodbye.

Little brother.

I've been looking for you.

Did you check the throne room?

Wait, I wouldn't be found there,

since I'm not the king.

You enjoy shifting Spain's favor

back and forth between us,
don't you?

Well, I've had enough.
Relax, dear brother.

Spain has chosen you.

What?

I didn't come here

to accept Charles's decision.

I came here
to quietly hand you victory.

Now, Charles is aware
there's a Spanish warship

outside the French harbor?

It concerns him. But not enough
to force him off the throne.

Well, when half the Spanish
Armada arrive to join it,

he'll change his mind.

Spain would actually do that
for me?

You've always been far more
qualified to rule than Charles.

Philip and I are confident
that once you're king,

you'll heed Spain's wishes:

Keep France Catholic,
marry who you're told,

and so on and so forth.

Of course. Once I'm king.

The ships are due
in a matter of days.

I'll be gone before they arrive.

God willing, Charles will
abdicate in a sensible manner.

But if not,

you may use force.

Once the rest
of the Spanish Armada arrives,

I will take the throne.

Nicole, run away with me.

And defy the king of France?

He won't be king for long.

I need time to think, Henri.

No, we have to leave tonight.

If you go on that engagement
tour, I'll lose you forever.

Won't Spain be upset with you
for this?

They may not send the ships.
They need me.

Leeza says I'm the only Catholic
ruler Spain can count on.

You will be my queen.

You swear Charles won't be hurt?

Once he sees my ships,
he will stand down.

Charles has never wanted
to be king.

Abdicating will be
the best thing

that's ever happened to him.

Just as you are the best thing

that's ever happened to me.

I love you, Nicole.

Henri...

I'm yours.

Go pack your things, quickly.

And, Nicole,
bring me the corset.

You know the one I like.

Hello, Jane.

Lord Narcisse.

What are you doing here?

Where is my family?

I sent them away.

Where? To France,

where they will stay
under my protection.

You kidnapped my family?

Why?

I have done everything
you asked of me.

I spied on Elizabeth,
I poisoned her lover.

And you've been
generously compensated

for all your hard work.

But someone must take the fall
for Gideon's death.

Elizabeth already
suspects the archduke.

I've made sure of it.

At this moment,
she's planning a naval attack

to cripple his finances.
Yeah, but that

is not enough.

He has to die.

For us to walk away from this
cleanly, Elizabeth needs

to believe that justice
has been served.

You want me to convince her
to order an assassination?

She won't do it.

Killing the archduke
would risk retribution

from Austria, Spain...

That is the endgame.

Elizabeth ensures

her own downfall,

and you retire comfortably
to France.

You ask too much of me.

Jane, we have come so far.

Do not lose confidence now.

Think of your family.

Because if you fail me,

if Elizabeth learns
that I was behind all this,

you will never see them again.

I can't leave hospital.

Mother, I'm sick.

I don't care what Mary says.

I can get better treatment
for you back at court.

She just wants to imprison you
here, far away from the throne.

Far away from the power that
you should be seizing right now.

I have no power left.

Listen to me, Mary is in labor.

A very difficult labor.
Do you know what that means?

My God, I'm
going to have a child.

It's more than that.

Mary may not survive
the delivery.

In a state of emergency,

a privy council can be installed
by a royal signature.

You are still king.

You can assemble a privy council
that supports you.

What does that matter?

I d... I don't have
the Crown Matrimonial.

If Mary dies,
I will no longer be king.

If Mary dies,
the council can name you regent.

Mary is a survivor.

It is worse if she lives.

Mary will do everything she can
to keep your child away

from you. But with the privy
council at your side,

you can fight back.

This is your only chance
for a future.

Mother...

what if Mary's right about me?

I keep seeing Keira.

Well, I... I know she's dead,

but she appears to me.

Is that not madness?

If seeing Keira makes
you happy, does it matter?

She did love me.

And your child will love you.

But if you let her,

Mary will take your
heir away from you

just as she has taken
everything else.

Well, since the king of France
has summoned us before dawn,

now would be a good time to
tell me, what have you done?

I have no idea what this
is about, Mother.

I was asleep in my chambers
the same as you.

You know who isn't
asleep in their chambers?

Nicole.

Neither is Henri.

They're both missing. Missing?

Castle guards saw Henri ride off

with Nicole in the night,

headed for a Spanish ship
on the harbor.

The same ship you sent
months ago to support Henri.

Did you know about this?

Certainly not.

I don't believe you, sister.

I don't think Spain
ever had any intention

of accepting my marriage
or my reign.

You and my brother have
been plotting against me,

and Nicole's kidnapping
is proof.

We don't know that he kidnapped her.
What do you mean?

Are you accusing my fiancée
of betraying me?

Nicole loves me as I love her.

She's the only person
I've ever been able to count on

in the world.

God knows what Henri's
doing to Nicole

against her will as we speak.

And you, Leeza, will pay.

I am married to the most
powerful man in the world,

and I will not be threatened
by my damaged brother

who is unfit to rule.

I am the king, and I will have
you arrested for treason!

You wouldn't dare. Charles.

You're understandably upset,

but Leeza isn't
only your sister,

she is the queen of Spain.

She is an enemy of France.

Take my sister to the dungeon.

Charles, no!

No! Let go of me!

You can't do this!

Throw her in with her heretics!
Tell them to let me go, Mother!

Mother?

Can't you do something
for her? Anything?

The queen's condition
is deteriorating.

I fear the possibility

of losing both of them
if I don't operate.

No. If you open her up,

she will die. Sir, the queen
is not going to survive.

The question now is
whether we save the baby

and relieve Mary of her agony.
Bothwell, where are you?

I'm here. I'm right here.
I'm right here.

Something isn't right.
My baby, he'she's dying.

Mary, listen to me, I promise
you, your baby is going to live.

You have to save him.

I want you all to save my baby.

Do you hear me?

I'm ordering all of you!

No matter what it takes.

Save my baby!

Stay back!

If you come anywhere

near her with those,
I will kill you myself.

She's dying, Lord Bothwell.

The queen wants me
to save her child.

Greer...

Greer, I love you.

I love you too.

Mary.

No, no, no, no.

Don't give up.

Mary, stay with me.
You have to fight!

You can do this.

It's your fate.

It's our fate.

Now gather your strength,
all of it

and come back to me.

Come back and meet your child.

Mary, come back to me.

Come on, Mary.
You're almost there.

That's it, Mary.

I'm right here. I'm with you.

That's it.

Push, Mary, push!

Queen Mary, you have a son.

I've been waiting
a very long time to meet you,

and you are more perfect
than I ever could have imagined.

Where are you going?

You need to rest.

The doctor told me you
lost a lot of blood.

I want you to stay.

Mary, you said it yourself.

The baby is here. I need
to stay far away from you.

Gossip can be dangerous.

Bothwell?

When I was giving birth, I...

I felt myself slipping away,

but it was your voice
that guided me back.

If you hadn't been here,

I wouldn't be holding my son
in my arms right now.

I've been seeing it all wrong.

The danger is not
in us being close.

It's in our being apart.

My enemies are going

to gossip and lie about me
no matter what I do.

As far as I'm concerned,
they can all go to hell.

I going to spend the rest of
my life with the ones I love.

I'm so sorry to interrupt this,
but... something's happened.

What is it, Greer?

While you were giving birth,
Lady Lennox filled all

of the remaining seats
on the privy council.

What? She can't do that.

You need a royal signature.

It's Darnley.

He shifted the balance
of power back to himself.

While I was giving birth
to his child.

This is Lady Lennox's doing.

I need to talk to Darnley.

I think I can still reach him.

Thank you, Jane.

I had some books sent over
to your house as a gift,

but no one was home
to receive them.

That was so kind of you,
Your Majesty.

My family and I were
out at the market.

Well, my page said

your livestock
was wandering unattended.

I hope your father's not
neglecting his animals.

Your Majesty,
Naval Commander Francis Drake

is here to see you.

Please excuse us, Jane.

Queen Elizabeth,

we meet at last.

My friend Hawkins
has told me much about you.

I'm glad he could
arrange this meeting.

I have a special mission

that requires your naval
expertise and your ships.

There's a Portuguese freighter
filled with jewels, gold, silver

setting sail for Austria.

I want that cargo for England.

And what would your... friend,
the archduke, say to that?

Well, aren't you clever?

Let's just say this...
operation cannot be traced

back to me, and you will
be well compensated.

You'll utilize blank sails,

and hide any semblance
of British emblems

during your attack.

Your Majesty, believe it or not,

I have actually
done this before.

I can pillage that cargo
in secret.

Though there is always a risk.

To me, it's worth the risk.

Then you don't mind
paying me more.

Say, 10 percent of the haul?

I thought you came
as my loyal subject.

You're the queen of England.

Everyone who walks through these
doors wants something from you.

If they say otherwise,
they're lying.

Pay me what I ask,
and that cargo will be yours.

On my honor.

The king has chosen you
to join his privy council

to defend his rights
as father to Scotland's heir.

The welfare of this child
must be decided by this council,

not by Queen Mary.

Continue, Lady Lennox.

You were just saying
something about me?

Gentlemen,

please give us the room.

I would like to speak
to my husband alone.

Darnley, do you want me to stay?

Yes.

I know what you're trying
to do, Mary.

Trying to take my
son away from me.

I won't let you.

Darnley, you are very ill.

Your mother is filling your head

with lies.

I just want to help you.

By locking me away?

Well, I won't let you.

There is a motion
being passed tomorrow

in front of the privy council
to appoint me

the child's steward. No.

Once I am named
steward of the heir,

I will have the power to
keep you out of my son's life,

- as you would have done me.
- This is insane!

What happens when Mary
tells the privy council

you're infected with syphilis?

We will accuse her
of infecting the king,

a result of her wanton adultery.

Every choice she makes

will be inspected for madness.

Mary will lose her throne
in disgrace.

Darnley,

I am his mother.

For the good of our child,
please be decent.

Now you talk of decency?

When I have the power.

Where was your decency when
I asked for my fair share?

We're finished here.

Darnley, please, you can't...

Mary...

Maybe you're the one
who needs help, Mary.

You don't look well.

Claude,

where have you been?

Charles has thrown your sister
in the dungeon.

My dear, what's wrong?

Leith is getting married.

I wrote to him,

saying that my marriage
to Luc is over,

that I was willing
to give up everything

to finally be with him.

Darling, I'm sorry.

I tried so hard
to honor my promise to Leith,

to be a good person,

but it just wasn't enough.

Keeping your promise because you
want to be good and honorable,

isn't the same
as keeping your promise

because you truly love someone.

Maybe you don't love Leith
quite as much as you think.

You have a husband
who values you,

so you still have a chance
at happiness.

Francis Drake,

you finally returned.

I trust you have good news?

Good news and bad, Your Majesty.

You gave me your word the cargo
would be intercepted discreetly.

Don't worry, we
disguised our ships

and took the freighter's
entire bounty.

It's in the harbor now, being
loaded onto several carriages.

Several carriages?
That's quite the haul.

The problem is what came after.

To avoid any connection
to our piracy,

we cut through Spanish
waters on our way back here.

We thought we'd be safer
in foreign territory

by raising our English sails
in peace, but we ran afoul

of some Spanish warships
who had a different idea:

They wanted to search us.

Did you engage them?

I had no choice.

One thing led to another.

They fired on us,
so I fired back.

We sunk two warships.

It's no easy feat.

You sunk two Spanish warships

while our English sails billowed
in the wind for all to see?

The Spanish attacked first.

As if that matters now.

Do you have any idea
what you've done?

How could you be
so shortsighted?

King Philip has always

desired England and now
he has grounds for war.

Tell me, Your Majesty, was it
shortsighted of me to survive?

You shouldn't have raised
the English sails at all.

From where I stand,
they alone are keeping me alive.

Now you can't just hand me over
to the Spaniards

to take the fall,
which I'm sure would have been

your first inclination.

You're damn right it would have.

Instead, I am facing a
possible war with Spain.

You stick around, Captain Drake.

I have a feeling I'm
not through with you.

Stop staring at me, witch!

My name is Emanuelle.

And I'm not looking at you.

I'm gazing at your ugly,

ugly soul.

I can see you've made a friend.

Mother, help me.

That witch is harassing me.

You poor dear,

you're surrounded by all
of these godless devils,

who no doubt wish you were dead.

You have to get me out of here.

I'm the queen of Spain.

Yes, but you're in France now,

and you conspired
against the French king.

You have overplayed your hand,

and you will suffer
the consequences.

Those are Charles's words,
they're not mine.

I'll write a letter to Philip.

I'm afraid that Philip,
he's a little bit busy

at the moment
planning an attack on England.

I intercepted

this message sent
by your beloved husband,

in which he informs you that,

due to a little naval skirmish
with the English,

those ships are
needed elsewhere.

They won't be coming
to help Henri

overthrow his brother after all.

So your coup has failed.

I only wanted to please Philip.

I never wanted to hurt Charles.

I realize I may have gone
a little too far.

I think Charles sees
it a bit differently.

He's going to take
your head for this,

and I can't stop him.

Mommy, please.

Get me out of here and I'll do
whatever you ask, I swear it.

I can get you out of France,

but it's gonna
cost you and Spain

a very long list of favors.

The physician says you'll
be back on your feet soon.

It hardly matters.

I can feel my power
in Scotland waning,

along with my allies.

I still have a few
loyal men on the privy council,

but the rest
belong to the Lennoxes.

They will vote to take my son

and make Darnley his steward.

You will figure a way
out of this.

You always do.

And now you have
your child to inspire you.

Your family.

Dear Elizabeth,

I know there has been much
discord between us.

The world and circumstance
made us rivals

and we've become weapons
turned against each other.

But my dear cousin,

we are still family.

And what is family
in this dark and bitter world,

but a glimmer of
light in the distance?

I have just had a son,
who already faces danger,

for I am surrounded
by vicious forces

wishing my destruction.

John Knox, the Lennoxes,
even my own husband.

I need your help, Elizabeth.

My duty is to my heir
and to Scotland,

both of which I fear
could be lost.

So from one lonely
queen to another,

I ask that should anything

happen to me,

you will protect my child
as your own.

In turn, I promise you
that your throne

shall never be threatened by me.

Furthermore, if you decide
to remain a virgin queen,

I ask that you recognize my son

as heir to both our thrones.

Let us hope he inherits
a better world than we did.

A world you and I,
starting on this day,

might create together.

Your loving cousin,

Mary.

Queen Mary asked that
I remain here at all times.

I am your king.

I wish to be alone
with my child.

You may go.

Look at him.

Look at my little boy.

The most beautiful thing

I've done in my life.

You know, it's funny.

There was a time
when I was afraid

that you were
here to replace me.

I'm no longer afraid.

And we'll take good care of you.

Won't we, my love?

Of course we will, Darnley.

You know he'll be safe with us.

Let me get this straight,
my sister conspired

to send an armada

of Spanish warships to usurp me

and place Henri on the throne,
and you released her?

Leeza won't be a problem,
and neither will Henri.

Spain is far too busy
with England.

Their armada won't be coming,
so Henri has nothing.

He'll have no choice
but to bow to you.

So once you calm down,
you can thank me

for preventing an allout war.

Does Henri know the
ships aren't coming?

Not yet.

Then he's vulnerable.

This is the perfect time
to crush him.

He is your blood.

Just tell him that
the ships aren't coming,

and he will return
to court with Nicole

and admit his defeat.

I don't know, you can send
him off to battle the Turks.

All will be forgotten.

Forgotten? What about Nicole?

What about her?
He's tarnished her honor,

her very soul.

For that alone,
I would murder him.

So that's what this is about?

That foolish peasant girl?

It's not about
defending your throne

or Nicole's reputation.

You just hunger to destroy
your rival for her affection.

Have you ever watched two dogs
fighting over a bone?

They'll tear each other
limb from limb unless...

you remove the bone.

Your sons are fighting
over a girl.

She's in a heavilyguarded ship
in the harbor.

I can't get to her.

But perhaps you can.

I understand you're a witch.

Maybe you could help me.

Do you know how to use this?

How are you,

Your Majesty?

You must be feeling overwhelmed,

losing Gideon,

facing war with Spain. Yes.

It seems I must weather every
conceivable storm at once.

I'm told the archduke
will return soon.

What will you do
when he gets here?

What do you think I should do?

If it were me,

if someone took the man I loved,

I would want to avenge him.

Jane, would you help me...

take vengeance?

Of course,

if my queen commands it.

There is nothing I wouldn't
do for you, Elizabeth.

Really?

You would do that?

Kill a man
and ask nothing in return?

How selfless of you.

Perhaps I misspoke.

You know, Francis Drake
gave me some good advice,

everyone wants
something from me.

Anyone claiming otherwise
is a liar.

I don't understand.

I had you followed home, Jane.

Last night,

and the night before.

It seems your family
has still not returned

and you are all alone
at the farm

tending for all the animals.

As if to keep
your family's absence a secret.

Your Majesty, you misunderstand.

They're on holiday.

I'm tending the animals
until they get back.

Look at how terrified you are.

Has someone taken them?

In an effort to silence you?

Elizabeth, please.

Who are you working for?

Is it John Knox?

He's done this before.

It would not be
the first servant

he's coerced into treason.

Speak, while there is
still mercy in my heart!

So help me...

Elizabeth, please.

You mustn't let suspicion
and fear blind you.

I am your friend.

I am the only friend
you have left.

It's all right, Jane.

You don't have to answer me.

But you do have to

answer my interrogators.

Take her to the Tower.

No, Elizabeth, please.

No, please! No, please! No!

Mary.

Mary, wake up.

What is it?

Darnley's left the castle.

What? Where did he go?

I don't know, but I just
learned from one of the servants

that he left in
a carriage not an hour ago.

That's odd.

He and his mother
were very clear

about him wanting
to stay close to the baby.

Yeah.

What are you doing here?

You should be in the nursery.

Forgive me, Your Majesty,
but King Darnley said

he wanted to be alone
with his son.

Darnley's taken him.

Bothwell,
Darnley's taken my son.

No.
