FunTranscript
00:00Previously, on The Serpent Queen.
00:17I think we have a fucking problem.
00:18Queen Elizabeth of England, with whom you've committed treason,
00:21arrived early this morning as a prospective bride for the King of France.
00:25Welcome to our humble home.
00:26I'm on to you.
00:27This is a play, isn't it?
00:29I'm here to reassure you that we remain committed to your cause.
00:32I hope you'll accept a gift.
00:34Weapons.
00:35Four wagons full.
00:36I will accept your gift.
00:38We represent the Catholic League of France.
00:40I think we need to talk about your son.
00:43Which one?
00:44You can see what I cannot see.
00:47Would you like to be of use to me?
00:49Yes.
00:50I realize I misunderstood about us.
00:52You didn't misunderstand.
00:54I'd like you to return to my service.
00:56Whatever I can do, Your Majesty.
00:57My brother, I want to know what he does at all times.
01:00Everything was stolen from me.
01:02And I intend to get it back, fight for it.
01:04You know Cece?
01:06Grandniece of the Holy Roman Emperor.
01:07As it happens, we have a great deal in common.
01:09Do you know, the more time I spend with you,
01:11the more I question whether I have, in fact, been presented with the right brother.
01:14What do you think about a fence?
01:17To settle things.
01:18It is my intention to marry the winner.
01:25Doctor!
01:27Doctor!
01:57Despite my best efforts, our challenge is mounted by the day.
02:28Sister Arbus?
02:43Are you ready to admit God the Savior into your life
02:46and abandon your Catholic masters?
02:52I am.
02:58A wise choice.
03:18Are you looking for this?
03:21Majesty.
03:22You've examined the King?
03:24Considering his breathing, heart rate, and family history,
03:30I believe the King's symptoms point to only one diagnosis.
03:36Consumption.
03:39I've heard that word far too many times in my life.
03:41I do not wish to hear it again.
03:43I'm sorry.
03:46But I see no benefit in not telling you the truth.
03:49Does he know?
03:49If he does, he's not admitted it to himself.
03:52He's not admitted it to himself.
03:55How long does he have to live?
03:57Difficult to say.
04:00You've served us a long time.
04:03You've always told us the truth.
04:07But if the King's condition becomes public at the wrong time,
04:12it will undermine his authority when the country is at its most vulnerable.
04:17Therefore, if you breathe a word of this to anyone,
04:22including the King himself,
04:26I will have you beheaded for treason.
04:29But if you keep it a secret,
04:32I will always make sure you have whatever it is you need for your own condition.
04:50How is my brother the King?
04:52Need you ask?
04:55What?
04:56Look, I did what you asked me to do.
04:58I gave him every opportunity to win.
05:00Did you?
05:03It was your pride and vanity that led to the death of your brother Hercule.
05:08And now possibly your King.
05:10Do not say that.
05:11Why shouldn't I say it when it is true?
05:16I have indulged you for far too long.
05:18And all your life you have caused me shame.
05:23But never more than today.
05:27But now, once and for all,
05:32you will hide away your deviant nature.
05:36You will deny what you are and get along like the rest of us.
05:41So I can fix this mess you've made.
05:43Do you understand?
05:45Do you understand?
05:47Yes, Mother.
05:52But don't doubt for a second that whatever it is that shames you about me,
06:01well, it lives in you as well.
06:04So it pains me to admit it.
06:19He was right, of course.
06:34What's all this?
06:36Join us.
06:37I'd rather stand.
06:39It is our understanding that you've grown quite fond of Princess Margo.
06:46She's a pretty girl.
06:48She's a child.
06:49She's of age.
06:50For a dirty old man like you, maybe.
06:52Francois, please, do not forget your manners.
06:55Manners?
06:57What the fuck is this?
06:59This is God's natural order.
07:01The king is unduly influenced by the Protestants in his court.
07:05Entertaining the heretic queen was the final straw.
07:09His brother Anjou and his predilections
07:12are destined to mark him as an equally unsuitable ruler.
07:17There is a great reckoning coming.
07:20All true believers will seek a new king to rally behind.
07:24A marriage between yourself and the Princess Margo
07:29will create a new line.
07:31A purely Catholic line.
07:34The Guise line.
07:38You want me to be king?
07:40Until an heir is of age.
07:44What's this?
07:45A petition from the Catholic clerics to name you as head of state.
07:52You can't do this.
07:53We represent the Catholic Church
07:57with all the wealth and the power of the Vatican behind us.
08:00In truth, we can do whatever we want.
08:03And what do you think Catherine's going to say about this?
08:05Catherine has lost her influence, as have her sons.
08:10I think we can agree time is up for the Valois court.
08:16And if I refuse this insanity?
08:19Do you know how we punish members of the clergy
08:22who adopt the new faith?
08:25It's a method that was perfected in Madrid
08:28during the Grand Inquisition.
08:30They're skinned alive and then burnt at the stake.
08:35I've seen it.
08:37It takes a while.
08:39But when the flame reaches the exposed flesh,
08:44the pain is said to be unspeakable.
08:47So if you will not do this for France,
08:52perhaps you'll do it for your brother.
09:00It would take a moment for my son to consider your proposal.
09:04We will leave you to confer as a family.
09:18What the fuck have you done now?
09:22Your Majesty, it is my honor to present this model of the Tuileries Palace.
09:30I have tried for a perfect match between French and Italian cultures.
09:37And you have achieved it.
09:38You have a rare talent, Alessandra.
09:40Won't it take ages to build?
09:43Like anything worth doing.
09:44Be a fitting monument to your rule.
09:47A home fit for a king and his new queen.
09:50It is my hope that we would have broken ground
09:53by the time Princess Sissi visits us again.
09:58Sissi?
10:00Why would Sissi come here?
10:01I guess she can't stay away.
10:03As it happens, her uncle sent word of her return this morning.
10:07And as you two got along so well, I thought you would welcome the news.
10:10It doesn't seem particularly appropriate if I am to be betrothed, does it?
10:15Rahima, would you kindly entertain my brother for me?
10:20Yes.
10:31What are you up to?
10:32You asked Sissi to come here.
10:34Why?
10:42I am simply obeying an instinct.
10:46Your heart obviously lies with Princess Sissi.
10:48Otherwise, you would have won the fencing match.
10:51Of course I would have won.
10:52I got dizzy, that's all.
10:54Of course, I can see that.
10:57But Queen Elizabeth might not agree with me.
11:00Then she is a fool.
11:01Perhaps.
11:02But I fear you have lost favour with the English queen.
11:05In fact, I suspect her affections have turned towards your brother.
11:11Anjou?
11:13That's scraping the bottom of the barrel, isn't it?
11:15Anjou's energy is a better fit for the English queen.
11:18Whereas Princess Sissi would make a fine consort.
11:23Sissi is not a queen.
11:25But she would take care of you.
11:28Why not be happy?
11:32You really expect me to believe your concern is my happiness?
11:41Hello, you.
11:44Why all broody?
11:45Haven't you heard?
11:46We're on the verge of civil war.
11:48Aren't we always?
11:49At least in my family we are.
11:51It seems somewhat worse this time.
11:53I figured out how I'm going to get away from all this.
11:55I'm going to the new world.
11:57You should come with me.
11:59I mean, we'd have to get married first.
12:04Just as a formality, of course.
12:09You put that thought out of your mind, do you understand me?
12:11Why?
12:14It is not safe for you to be close to me.
12:18Of course it is.
12:20You have no idea who I am, do you?
12:22Yes, I do.
12:23Do you?
12:27You see, little girl.
12:31I started all this.
12:34I set that church on fire to set all of France on fire.
12:37And it worked.
12:38Because that's the sort of man I am.
12:40Do you understand me?
12:42You lied to me.
12:44Of course I lied to you.
12:46I liked your fantasy of me.
12:49So I tried to indulge it.
12:51But now your innocence is too close to stupidity to be charming.
12:56So do us both a favour.
12:59Stay the fuck away from me.
13:00Do you understand?
13:02Little girl.
13:08Please stop calling me that.
13:16Thank you for agreeing to see me.
13:22Of course.
13:24And how is the king?
13:25He is well.
13:26His pride hurt more than anything.
13:31My dear Catherine.
13:33The repeating of a falsehood does not make it true.
13:38I know consumption when I see it.
13:41Such a cruel disease.
13:43My own sister succumbed.
13:46Drowning in her lungs.
13:49It was a torture that distorted her mind.
13:50She was not always known as Mad Mary.
13:53She was quite sweet when we were children.
14:02I hope that you can understand the sensitivity of this information.
14:06Of course.
14:08As I hope that you will see the need to preserve the treaty between our two kingdoms.
14:14We are in agreement.
14:15We must find a way to get what we want.
14:16It is my belief that we will come to terms on Calais.
14:19And on trade routes.
14:21And even on your annoying cousin Mary.
14:24Well that is very good to hear.
14:32But according to patriarchy,
14:36we must bind our kingdoms together like neighbouring farms breeding swine.
14:40An ugly business.
14:41But it is the way of the world.
14:43I believe you may be willing to consider Anjou as a prospective mate.
14:49Place of his brother.
14:50You are even more pragmatic than I'd imagined.
14:54One might mistake it for callousness.
14:56That would be a miscalculation.
14:58Of course.
15:00Ah, Throckmorton!
15:13Well this is quite unexpected.
15:16Change in loyalties so quickly.
15:18And yet you get along with Anjou.
15:20It does amuse me.
15:21Marriages have been built on less.
15:24Anjou did win the match.
15:26And after all I promised my heart to the winner, didn't I?
15:28Indeed you did, your majesty.
15:30My father always told me one must honour one's word.
15:36Although he did say the same thing to my mother.
15:38So who knows what he meant.
15:42I have an idea.
15:44Why don't we go and tell my newstew to the happy news right away?
15:49But it is late.
15:50Not too late for Anjou, I'm sure.
15:52Isn't that right, Throckmorton?
15:54Never, your majesty.
15:56Unless of course you're having second thoughts about the union.
15:59Of course not.
16:01What fun.
16:13Music.
16:14How festive.
16:15Could he be expecting us?
16:23Come to think of it, another time would be better.
16:26Nonsense.
16:27I love a party.
16:28Allow me.
16:44Ah!
17:06Anjou!
17:09Anjou!
17:10What?
17:13What?
17:20Well?
17:23What are you staring at?
17:26I imagine you have lots to discuss, mother to son.
17:31I'll leave you to it.
17:34Adieu, my prince.
17:43Can you shut the door?
17:49I'm not quite finished.
18:13Rahima!
18:32Rahima!
18:43Ah, Catherine.
18:44I was so worried we wouldn't be able to say our goodbyes.
18:47I didn't want to wake you.
18:48I thought you might need your sleep after all the excitement.
18:51My lady, I'm waiting neglected her duties this morning.
18:54But you're not leaving us, are you?
18:56With our business unfinished?
18:58But of course I am.
19:01Surely you must agree that things have changed.
19:04What with one of your sons being medically unfit and the other one
19:07apparently in possession of sexual needs I couldn't possibly meet.
19:11Come on.
19:12We both know a marriage of this kind can make room for any number of eccentricities.
19:18They're private matters.
19:19Until they are not.
19:22When word gets out and every royal house hears about Charles and Anjou,
19:29whoever marries them is going to be a laughingstock.
19:32And you will make sure the word gets out?
19:36Because you had no intention of marrying either of my sons.
19:40You came to France for whatever advantage you could find for England.
19:45But of course.
19:46It must be a challenge to have to pose as an outrageous giggling flirt to get what you want.
19:55I would be careful.
19:57Because given time, it may prove difficult to know which is a pose and which is not.
20:05Let me explain something to you.
20:07Men have been marrying women off for thousands of years.
20:11My own father, for example, was a pig-headed fool.
20:15But his will was irresistible.
20:18He defied a Catholic god and the whole country went with him.
20:21Your late father-in-law, Francis I, was almost his equal.
20:26But they did what they did as men.
20:29Unapologetic in their appetites.
20:31You and I don't have such luxury.
20:33So yes, I am a bit of a snob.
20:35So yes, I must pose as a virgin and you as a witch to get what we want.
20:41When I became queen, I decided no man was ever going to marry me off.
20:46I was simply going to drive up the price playing one suitor off against another.
20:50So yes, you're quite right.
20:53Of course, I came here looking for the best deal for England and not a husband.
20:58And it turned out it was not you who presented it to me.
21:01But you found it.
21:02Yes, in the most unlikely place.
21:07Oh, this might be of interest to you.
21:11As it appears you don't have the slightest idea what's going on beneath your own roof.
21:17Frankly, I'd expected a bit more of the Serpent Queen of France.
21:23I would get your house in order if I were you.
21:27And I wish you all the best with that.
22:02We've got a problem.
22:10Another one.
22:11Look.
22:17We need to leave.
22:19Immediately.
22:32So
22:44where are the princes of the blood?
22:46Well, to be honest with you, I have no idea.
22:48But see that my lords and masters have exiled themselves without me.
22:54May as well take him.
22:56On what charge?
22:58I'm sure they'll come up with something.
23:00Didn't do nothing.
23:02Where is Rahima?
23:08She failed in her duties and I was at a disadvantage with Queen Elizabeth.
23:12I demand an explanation.
23:13Lady Rahima had business away from the palace today.
23:17What business?
23:18Sure you want to know?
24:03So
24:24I should get back.
24:25Aren't you tired of being a Tobek uncle?
24:28It's my position.
24:29It doesn't have to be.
24:31Why?
24:32Are you going to make me a duchess?
24:34Haven't you heard?
24:36Titles are dying out.
24:38They're almost meaningless.
24:41Besides, I can do better.
24:44I approached Queen Elizabeth with my plan for investment in a new world.
24:49Behind Catherine's back?
24:50Behind Catherine's back, no.
24:53I saw an opportunity and I took it.
24:56She can't begrudge me that.
24:58You don't know Catherine.
24:59It's too late.
25:01Elizabeth will fund my endeavor.
25:04We'll be partners in trade.
25:06I came to France to see if my connection to Catherine would increase my fortune.
25:11Now it has.
25:16Are you using me too?
25:19Of course.
25:20The same way you are using me for pleasure.
25:27Seems to me the most rational thing in the world.
25:31She's infatuated with you.
25:33Is she?
25:34If that's what it means when you do not see someone for who they are.
25:41Then she is infatuated with the idea of not being alone.
25:46And I didn't deprive her.
25:48Did you hear something?
25:51A bird.
25:55When I leave, I want you to come with me to the new world.
25:59A place you can be your own woman.
26:02Not take orders from anyone.
26:04Will you do that?
26:06I will consider it.
26:08On one condition.
26:11I owe you nothing.
26:14Likewise.
26:15In this water, you are reborn in second baptism.
26:19Do you feel a weight is lifted from you?
26:23I will when you hold up your end of the bargain.
26:46So...
27:08My child, what is it?
27:10Nothing that concerns you.
27:12Is it my son?
27:13Has he tried to break the understanding between you?
27:18I fear I will never be the same again.
27:21Again.
27:24My poor child.
27:26I know how hopeless it all seems, but you do not have to feel this way.
27:30You see, the Duke is a wounded man.
27:34Something terrible happened to him in the war.
27:37He was vague on the details, but as a result,
27:41he does not think himself worthy of love.
27:44You must persuade him otherwise.
27:48I believe he could be the man he truly wants to be with me.
27:55It fills my heart to hear you say that, because I believe it too.
28:04Will you allow me to help you?
28:06Yes.
28:09Yes, of course.
28:11The House of Borbon would like to publicly commit our loyalty to you and your cause.
28:18My sources tell me you are only here because Catherine discovered your treachery.
28:22While it's true our disagreements with the House of Valois have been revealed,
28:26perhaps before our liking,
28:28we have never wavered in our efforts to bring down Catherine and her family.
28:33I know what she's capable of.
28:35And Antoine knows what I am capable of.
28:37Yeah, unfortunately, yes. Yes, I do.
28:40Your wife and son have proven devoted pilgrims.
28:44Henry, do your father and uncle believe in our cause?
28:50Are they pure of heart?
29:01Um, I fear they're not.
29:06What?
29:07In fact, in the past, they've even tried to lead me astray.
29:11Oh, but...
29:11What are you doing, Henry?
29:13Please, please don't.
29:14But they can be taught, and given the proper guidance, they could benefit our cause.
29:27In fact, were they to accept second baptism to prove their loyalty,
29:35I believe they could begin their journey toward the light.
29:41Absolutely. Willing and able.
29:45Then so it shall be.
29:47To the lake.
30:35I thought I would be too late.
30:40I thought I'd abandoned you.
30:53We're bound together, whether we like it or not.
31:00I've been made a fool.
31:01Yeah, you could say that, I suppose.
31:04Yeah, yeah.
31:09Sit.
31:20Tell me what I have not seen.
31:22Queen Elizabeth has bested you.
31:24Edith's power is growing, and you are surrounded by traitors.
31:29So you're fucked from every angle.
31:31So, there's a poppet for each member of the court who has betrayed you.
31:37Six poppets.
31:39Six traitors there must be dealt with.
31:45Montmorency, the Bourbons, the Keysers,
31:53my lady-in-waiting, Rahima,
31:57my brother, Alessandro.
32:01But who is the sixth?
32:03Your visions haven't shown you.
32:04No, but they torment me.
32:11If you drink this,
32:15you will see.
32:17What's in it?
32:18You don't want to know.
32:21I'll be your guide.
32:25All of you.
32:30All of you.
33:30I've been asleep for hours.
34:01So, what did you see?
34:03My face was covered in blood.
34:08And there was a woman giving birth in my bed.
34:12And inside the swaddling,
34:16there wasn't a baby.
34:20There was a nest of snakes.
34:23And the sixth traitor is a child.
34:26Mine?
34:27Who can say?
34:31You.
34:45Hello, Mother.
34:49I hope this isn't a bad time.
34:55Not at all.
34:57What can I do for you both?
34:59I just heard the bad news.
35:01About Queen Elizabeth's rejection of the King's proposal.
35:04Such difficult days we lived through.
35:07Life seemed so much simpler when I was a girl.
35:11I suppose everybody says that.
35:12But when I look at what young people have to face today,
35:16I'm quite sure of it.
35:18The miracle is that hope springs eternal in the young.
35:22Like rising damp.
35:25Indeed.
35:28It is my understanding that my son
35:31and your daughter have fallen in love.
35:33I suppose you were aware.
35:34I must confess, I did not know it was so serious.
35:40I once told you that you would have to take a side.
35:46Why not take the side of love?
35:48Love?
35:50Yes.
35:51Mother, it is my opinion that a union like this,
35:54based not on politics but on genuine affection,
35:58is precisely what the French people crave.
36:01It's the sort of thing that justifies the existence of poetry,
36:06of art, of fashion,
36:10of everything that makes us so French.
36:15Not to mention that, if I'm not mistaken,
36:18with Queen Elizabeth's rejection,
36:20you are left with no way to pay for the palace by the Seine.
36:22Unless you appeal to the Catholic Church,
36:25which nowadays means going through the Catholic League.
36:28Somewhat unyielding in their views,
36:30but as it happens, I enjoy considerable influence in their circles.
36:37Do you?
36:40If our families were to be rejoined,
36:43I would be happy to assist.
36:48And you, Margot, can you examine yourself
36:53and tell me that this is something that you really want?
36:56That you are not simply intoxicated by the intrigue of a court romance?
37:03I can.
37:05And I do.
37:13Will you allow it?
37:16I will do everything in my power to make you happy.
37:20Thank you, Mother.
37:26The King will object,
37:30so you must leave it with me to persuade him.
37:33Can we agree on that?
37:35Of course.
37:51Little Madam.
37:56Oh, Your Majesty.
37:59You are surprised to see me?
38:02Well, you rarely come for service.
38:06It is true.
38:08Something was ruined for me by the nuns who raised me.
38:12Sadists, all of them.
38:15The truth is, I've never understood why people fight over their lives.
38:21The truth is, I've never understood why people fight over religion.
38:28The differences between the faiths have always seemed so insignificant to me.
38:34I've often thought I'd be the same whether I were born a Mohammedan or a Jew.
38:39How about you?
38:43I believe there are false prophets.
38:49Do you believe Sister Edith is one?
38:51I think God should be the one to judge.
38:57May I say, I've sensed a renewed power to your faith,
39:04and that is why I am here.
39:06Because if faith can ease the pain of a mother
39:11who has to watch yet another one of her sons die,
39:15then I don't care where it comes from.
39:18I don't know how I can survive another loss.
39:22The king is ill.
39:26As my priest, I hope I can trust you to keep this a secret.
39:33The king cannot be undermined at such a critical time.
39:37Of course.
39:39You are totally right, Your Majesty.
39:42Your secret is safe with me.
39:44Will you pray with me?
39:47Yes.
39:49Yes, it would be my honor.
39:58Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
40:03Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
40:14Yes, my child.
40:34Bless me, Father, for I am about to sin.
40:39You mean you have sinned in the past?
40:41No.
40:43When I feel it coming out, I just can't stop it.
40:49The feeling is overwhelming.
40:54So the Catholic League would like the Duke of Guise to be king?
40:58Apparently.
40:59And he gave this to you?
41:01I took it.
41:03What it was in this post, with a bell in his ass.
41:10And I gave it to him.
41:12And he gave it to you?
41:15Yes.
41:16And he gave it to me.
41:18And I gave it to him.
41:20With a bell in his ass.
41:25Your country will not forget your service.
41:36Hello, Rayma.
41:37Francoise.
41:47Yes?
41:49I'm sorry that Queen Elizabeth has returned to England.
41:53If I could, I would have prevented you from going into Andrew's rooms.
42:00Perhaps it was for the best.
42:02It actually reminded me of one of the first lessons I ever taught to you.
42:11Trust no one.
42:12So you do remember?
42:14Of course.
42:15Well, I'm glad.
42:25Did you manage to look over my brother's books?
42:30You were right.
42:31Of course, it was my mistake.
42:36Everything was in order.
42:38I am grateful.
42:39The time comes when we all must choose a side.
42:45She chose hers.
42:57What the fuck do you want?
43:14Forgiveness.
43:27Only what I said to you may have been unforgivable.
43:39I once told you that you must lock away that which makes you different.
43:46That which some might call the perversity in you should be hidden.
43:51Because it is shameful.
43:57But I now know that I was wrong, and to deny your true nature would be death.
44:16Even if I had the power of the Almighty, I wouldn't change a single hair on your head.
44:27Because then he wouldn't be here.
44:38And it is your nature that just might save our family.
44:44One day soon, I will come to you and ask for help.
44:50I only hope that you can answer that call, despite the harm I have done to you.
45:13This certainly is a reduced council.
45:20Mon Dieu has recused himself for the time being.
45:25Perhaps it will be more efficient.
45:28Perhaps it is better to recognize when we are beaten.
45:31It appears Queen Elizabeth has armed Edith and her followers,
45:35who also have the support of the Princes of the Blood and the mercantile class they represent.
45:39So we only have one choice.
45:41Bring Edith into the fold, or fight a civil war it is no longer certain we will win.
45:47I have called you here today because I have made a decision.
45:50I have agreed to go with Montmorency to meet Edith and broker a peace.
45:55So that's what you get for killing a prince these days, is it?
45:58A peace deal?
46:02I am curious.
46:04How did Montmorency persuade Sister Edith to meet with you?
46:07He was baptized into her faith.
46:12As I plan to be.
46:15I think the king has proven his wisdom.
46:20Do you?
46:21When I convert to the new religion, Edith's army will be loyal to me.
46:25The Catholics will retaliate?
46:27Maybe.
46:28But the Valois line remains a Catholic one.
46:31And if I were to marry a Catholic royal, like Princess Cece,
46:37Grandniece of the Holy Roman Emperor, the Catholics may be appeased.
46:42Maybe?
46:44You want to bet the country on a maybe?
46:46What other choice do we have?
46:47It is the right choice.
46:53I am pleased to hear you say so.
46:55I worried you would try to stop me.
46:57No.
46:58Perhaps I have been overzealous in my efforts to protect you, my king.
47:03But all I have ever wanted for you is independence.
47:06And if you have come to believe that a compromise with Sister Edith is the way forward,
47:11then I support you.
47:14In fact, I would like to accompany you to offer my blessings.
47:20Really?
47:21Of course.
47:24Then I would like that.
47:25You are my brother.
47:26I would like that.
47:27You are my king.
47:29And I am loyal to you above all else.
48:26Hmm.
48:56Your Majesty, you are most welcome.
49:21Are you here for salvation?
49:24I am.
49:26And you?
49:42I am here for peace.
49:48I would like to speak with the Queen Mother alone.
49:52If that would be agreeable to you?
49:54Of course.
49:57Yes.
50:06What the fuck was that?
50:08Be patient.
50:10You'll get what you came for.
50:22I'm surprised you had come.
50:24You are the new power in the land.
50:27I thought I would show you the respect you are due.
50:30Is it not more accurate to say
50:34that when the king's grand tour failed to unite the people,
50:38you hoped Queen Elizabeth would marry one of your sons
50:41to replace me in the people's hearts?
50:43But she refused.
50:46So now you hope the king's baptism will inspire my followers to lay down their arms
50:51and serve as his loyal subjects?
50:54I do.
50:55And what do you have to offer in exchange for this peace you seek?
50:59The conversion of a king is not enough.
51:05Well, it might be.
51:12But the conversion of a dying king
51:17is a different matter, wouldn't you agree?
51:22I see I can keep nothing from you.
51:25It came to me in a vision.
51:29It seems you come for my friendship empty-handed.
51:33Not exactly.
51:41You are quite right.
51:43My son is not long for this world and
51:46his brother is a well-known deviant.
51:49It will be the end of the Valois line.
51:51So what happens next?
51:54Antoine of Bourbon is next in line to the throne,
51:57but he is guilty of treason
51:59and would never be accepted by the French Catholics.
52:03Nor, as I'm sure you are aware,
52:05is he a true believer of your faith.
52:09His son, Henri,
52:11however,
52:13is a different matter.
52:15If he were to marry a Catholic princess
52:18and produce a son,
52:19the people would rally around the new line.
52:23A new Protestant line
52:26the king would be yours to control.
52:30And who, out of curiosity,
52:34is the lucky bride in this new world order?
52:37My daughter, Margot.
52:39You expect me to trust you?
52:42Yes.
52:44Because as soon as the marriage is consummated,
52:47because as soon as the marriage is consummated,
52:51I will sign the regency over to you
52:55and you will be the most powerful person in France.
53:00I am common.
53:01As am I.
53:10You may tell me
53:12that you have no desire for earthly power
53:15and that your kingdom lies in heaven.
53:18But somehow,
53:20I do not believe you will.
53:23I wonder.
53:27What would your son say
53:29if he heard you give away his legacy so easily?
53:33Well,
53:37he would despise me more than he already does.
53:40You mistake me for one of the pieces you move around with.
53:44You move around the board so easily.
53:47No.
53:48I have learned the hard way that you are no such thing.
53:52Oh, Sister Edith, I am tired of this game.
53:57All I want
53:58is to not bury any more of my children.
54:09Only the Almighty decides who we bury.
54:14Now.
54:17I think we've kept them waiting long enough.
54:21Don't you?
54:44And now I moan
54:48And now I holler
54:52She'll never know
54:56Just what I found
55:00That blue-eyed girl
55:03She said no more
55:07And that blue-eyed girl
55:11Became blue-eyed whore
55:15Down by the water
55:19I took her hand
55:23Just like my daughter
55:26To see her again
55:30Oh help me Jesus
55:34Come through the storm
55:38I had to lose her
55:42To do her harm
55:45I heard her holler
55:49I heard her moan
55:54Little fish, big fish
55:56Swimming in the water
55:58Come back here man
56:00Give me my daughter
56:02Little fish, big fish
56:04Swimming in the water
56:06Come back here man
56:08Give me my daughter
56:10Little fish, big fish
56:12Swimming in the water
56:14Come back here man
56:16Give me my daughter
56:18Little fish, big fish
56:20Swimming in the water
56:22Come back here man
56:24Give me my daughter
56:34Little fish, big fish
56:36Swimming in the water
56:38Come back here man
56:40Little fish, big fish
56:42Swimming in the water
56:44Come back here man
56:46Give me my daughter
56:48Little fish, big fish
56:50Swimming in the water
56:52Come back here man
57:10In a few hours time all of Edith's followers will come for us
57:15It's time for the king to make my regency law
57:23I have a bad feeling Anton
57:25I believe it is time for you to get what you came for
