Transcript
00:00I presume you are not so stupid as to leave any survivors that might identify you.
00:24You have a choice to make.
00:25War with the Protestants or war with the Catholics.
00:28Yes, there are another way.
00:30Put word out that we are entering into negotiations with England, but do not agree to any terms without my prior approval.
00:37Are you mad?
00:38You forced my hand.
00:39In fact, the House of Guise will fund the construction of a grand palace along the banks of the Seine.
00:45Perhaps a trip across the Channel would be a welcome break.
00:48England, I shall leave Henry here with you.
00:50What?
00:51My cousin wrote to me saying that she would help me in my time of need.
00:54I'm sure you've been fooled by forgery, Your Majesty.
00:56What?
00:57There's always a price.
00:58If price is my children, then you already know that is a price I'm not willing to pay.
01:02You've already buried four.
01:04Hello, cousin.
01:06I must travel to Italy, and I need someone to keep an eye on them.
01:08Charles is your king first and your brother second.
01:11And I speak especially to you, aren't you?
01:13Mother, you overestimate me.
01:15I'm all bark.
01:19Then bark less.
01:20Do you think Mother will ever really let me rule?
01:22You can't wait for anybody to give you permission, Charles.
01:24The king attending a Protestant service was a provocation unto itself.
01:28Equal to mass murder!
01:30We demand satisfaction!
01:32There's a rumor going around.
01:33There may have been some survivors.
01:55When Edith rose from the dead, everything I had tried to subvert threatened to come to pass.
02:10Come on!
02:11Come on!
02:12Come on!
02:13Come on!
02:14Come on!
02:15Come on!
02:16Come on!
02:17Come on!
02:18Come on!
02:19Come on!
02:20Come on!
02:21Come on!
02:23Come on!
02:30Ironic, isn't it?
02:31That a miracle would prove the greatest obstacle to peace.
02:42You said the doors were locked.
02:45They were.
02:46So what are you saying, Francois?
02:48That this was a fucking miracle?
02:50What difference does it make?
02:52I think you'll find it makes a big difference, Mother.
02:54As far as they're concerned, she led her entire congregation out of a burning building without a mark on her.
03:00People are now traveling from all over the country to take a look at their new Protestant saint.
03:04Protestants don't have saints.
03:06They do now.
03:07And it's in her name that people have been attacking Catholic churches all over the country.
03:12I thought you'd be pleased.
03:13The country's on the brink of civil war, just as you planned.
03:16I did not plan on a group of witnesses who could identify you as the one who set the church alight.
03:21Catherine has no interest in trying me for the crime.
03:23But Montmorency does.
03:25From what I hear, that gypsy preacher is all he cares for.
03:28He will come for you while Catherine is away, unless you get to the king first.
03:33No.
03:34No, the king will not be persuaded to oppose Montmorency, especially with his mother away.
03:39Then I suggest you find someone who will.
03:42Tell me again why your mother had to go all the way to Italy to build your brother a palace in the middle of Paris.
03:49I told you to find the best artists in Europe.
03:52And borrow a bit of cash, from what I hear.
03:55Isn't it enough he's king?
03:57Why does he need a palace that will most likely bankrupt the country?
04:00It's all stagecraft, Lemur.
04:03It's orchestrated by the master of ceremonies herself.
04:07To solidify the people's support.
04:10My mother knows how much the people love a project.
04:13Just think of how many worked themselves to death building the great pyramids of ancient Egypt.
04:18Of course, how could you ever understand?
04:21Your mother hates you.
04:24Still, you must be seething.
04:26He gets a palace on the Seine, and you get to go hunting with us.
04:30Indeed.
04:32In fact, the only reason I hang around with you lot is anyone worthwhile has something better to do.
04:37Here goes the royal faggot!
04:43Who said that?
04:49Well?
04:51Sister Edith says you're not our prince!
04:54Who the fuck is Sister Edith?
04:57Who spoke? Come on!
05:00Who spoke? Come on!
05:02Show yourself, you little coward!
05:24I think it would be safer to return to the palace, Your Majesty.
05:29Argh!
05:39And yet, far from court, I had no idea how bad things had already become.
05:48Can you really look at this view and tell me you haven't missed the city of your birth?
05:53Just a little.
05:56Hmm.
05:58For me, Florence will always be the city where everything was taken from me.
06:02What is there to miss?
06:04Truth is, the faster we conclude our business and return to France, the better.
06:25What happened to you?
06:26Someone threw mud at me.
06:28It's not fucking funny.
06:30Well, it is a bit funny.
06:31Someone in the woods has made a speech, and now the peasants think it's all right to throw mud on the princes of France.
06:36Apparently.
06:37What are you going to do about it?
06:39What do you want me to do about it?
06:40Make an example of them.
06:41And how do you propose I find the people who insulted Your Honour?
06:45You don't have to find the actual little shits who did it.
06:48You just take 12 at random and you slit their throats in the town square.
06:51They'll get the message.
06:52Good old-fashioned, don't you think?
06:54If you want them to respect you, Anjou, the easiest thing is probably to start behaving respectfully.
06:58Don't you think?
06:59Respect?
07:00Who the fuck is talking about respect?
07:02I don't want their respect.
07:03And I'm sorry to burst your little bubble, but there's nothing remotely respectable about any of us.
07:08I mean, none of you have an actual job or any particular skill.
07:12We grew up in the most dysfunctional family possible.
07:15And if you think it doesn't show on each and every one of you, you're delusional.
07:19Someone's feeling a bit introspective.
07:21Oh, fuck off, Hercules!
07:22Don't take it out on him.
07:23Can you not see?
07:26They are never going to respect us.
07:28Never!
07:30So all we have is to make sure they're fucking terrified of us.
07:34Spoken like a true Renaissance man.
07:36Come on. Hercule, join us.
07:41You fucking coward.
07:47Fine.
07:48Well, I'll do it myself if you don't have the stomach.
07:53I said no!
07:55Can you not see how drastically this situation has changed?
07:58They're attacking Catholic churches all over this country, and your response is what?
08:02Just to sit tight?
08:03I am your king, and I will not be lured into an overreaction that will only promote further insurrection.
08:09Is that understood?
08:11Oh, you really want that palace, don't you?
08:13And you really want a spot on my government, but you don't have the temperament.
08:17You will not exact any revenge for your humiliation.
08:20Is that clear?
08:23Yes.
08:29Fine.
08:33Aren't you forgetting something?
08:37Protocol dictate you not turn your back on your king before you're dismissed.
08:44Is he serious?
08:53Yes.
09:02May I take my leave, your majesty?
09:08You may.
09:10You should write Mother and tell her what happened.
09:12We needn't bother Mother with Anjou. I can handle him myself.
09:17It has always mystified me why man had to invent a god to fight over
09:22when he can create a god.
09:25I am not a god.
09:27I am a man.
09:29I am a man.
09:31I am a man.
09:33I am a man.
09:35I am a man.
09:37I am a man.
09:39I am a man.
09:41I am a man.
09:43I am a man.
09:44I am a man.
09:46He needs such beauty himself.
09:50My thoughts exactly.
09:53Although I've never heard it put so succinctly.
09:55It's not a popular point of view around here.
09:59According to the Pope, there are no heretics in Italy.
10:05Just you.
10:09I trust my secret is safe with you.
10:13They're ready for us now.
10:17Your Majesty.
10:19It is our understanding you have come to the House of Strozzi
10:22to secure a loan for the construction of a palace.
10:26As it is your wish to bring Italy's finest artists and artisans to France
10:31to burnish the glory of the Valois court.
10:34That is the proposal, is it not?
10:37It is.
10:39Along with the monies already pledged by French landowners,
10:42your loan would help make the palace I intend to build the envy of Europe.
10:47Once the palace is completed and French coffers are filled,
10:51your loan will be repaid.
10:54With interest.
10:55May I inquire how the Valois intends to refill said coffers?
11:00And not that we don't trust you.
11:03We are in the final stages of a trade negotiation with England.
11:07One that will be beneficial to Italy.
11:09A trade negotiation with England.
11:11One that will be beneficial for both parties.
11:14I see.
11:16Then the terms have been agreed?
11:18Oh, just a few minor details still to iron out.
11:22A formality.
11:27Let me explain how this works.
11:30Selling something that you don't actually own
11:33is only called lying outside of a bank.
11:36Trust me, I come from a family of bankers.
11:43We see no reason why the House of Strozzi should not support the endeavours of France.
11:48Especially when France is ruled by our cousin.
11:56It would, however, increase our comfort
11:58if we could recommend someone to manage your project.
12:02Someone with expertise.
12:04With contacts among artists and artisans you intend to hire.
12:07And with a keen head for business.
12:10A unique skill set, I think you will find.
12:13Catherine de' Medici, Queen Mother of France.
12:17May we present the Duke of Florence,
12:20Alessandro de' Medici.
12:25Medici?
12:26Your Majesty.
12:28It is always preferable to keep business within the family.
12:32Indeed.
12:34If we are kin, how exactly?
12:37Well, my father was kind enough to give his mistress his name.
12:43But not his title.
12:45Well, that was more difficult to come by.
12:49I don't doubt it.
12:50Who was your father?
12:52Duke Lorenzo de' Medici.
12:56Something I believe we have in common.
12:58Which makes me your half-brother.
13:01You are no longer alone in the world, Your Majesty.
13:14The unexpected developments in my personal life
13:17did not prevent our enemies abroad
13:19from seeking to take advantage of the trouble at court.
13:24My darling cousin.
13:26Oh.
13:27How are you?
13:30Yes.
13:32Yes.
13:34Fine, thank you.
13:37Considering.
13:39It is a bit drafty in here, isn't it?
13:41You'll catch your breath.
13:43Stoke the fire at once!
13:45Goodness.
13:47I had no idea you were being kept in such horrid conditions.
13:51Well, I have been here for five years.
13:55For five?
13:56Yes.
13:57And before that, a rather gruesome tower in Scotland for six.
14:01Oh, boo.
14:02I will see what I can do.
14:04It's not me, though, you understand.
14:06I have these counsellors.
14:08Men, of course.
14:10Old men who think they know better than I do.
14:13Better how to steer the great ship of state.
14:16Men who think me a trifling weak breeder
14:19who couldn't possibly undertake such an endeavour on her own.
14:22The truth is they're frightened of us.
14:24As well they should be, don't you think?
14:27Well, on the contrary, I pose no threat to anyone.
14:30No, no, no, of course not.
14:33Apart from all those Protestants you had killed in France.
14:38Youthful enthusiasm might have gotten the better of me, I admit.
14:42Well, it's all behind us now, thankfully.
14:46Yes, yes.
14:48I do have a favour to ask of you.
14:50Or rather, some advice.
14:51That way, if I could be of any help to you,
14:53it would be my greatest, greatest happiness.
14:55That Medici woman in France.
14:58My understanding is she's the one in charge.
15:01Although I am somewhat out of date,
15:03I can tell you with all certainty she would have it no other way.
15:07And would you say that she is a committed Catholic?
15:11No, Catherine is committed to no religion.
15:14In fact, it is my belief my former mother-in-law
15:16believes in nothing but herself.
15:19So you would say she lacks the appetite for a holy war?
15:23Well, unless she saw it to her own advantage.
15:27And in the Battle of Armageddon, when nobody wins,
15:31you would say the answer is no?
15:35I suppose so.
15:40Excellent.
15:43Anyway, I know it's a bore, but I must leave you.
15:46What?
15:47No, no, no, please, please, wait.
15:52What about me?
15:54I will insist on an improvement in your living conditions.
15:59The moment it is politically viable.
16:02You have my word.
16:05Until soon, my darling cousin.
16:13Well?
16:14Seems the Florentine shopkeeper is someone we can do business with.
16:17Well, if you don't mind a bit of market stall haggling, that is.
16:19Don't be such a snob, Throckmorton.
16:21It's far easier to deal with people who have something to lose.
16:25All we need do is fan the flames of religious unrest in France,
16:29and the Queen Mother will give England every advantage
16:31in the trade deal she would much prefer to war.
16:34And your cousin Mary? Any improvements on her condition?
16:37She's made her bed.
16:39When the time is right, I'll cut her fucking head off.
16:44Come on.
17:15We bid you welcome, madame.
17:20My God, look at you.
17:25If only your father could see you, he would be so proud.
17:29I hope so.
17:31Are we to stand on ceremony? Come and kiss me.
17:37I hope you don't mind your mother asking me to come.
17:40How could I? We're family.
17:42We're family.
17:44Almost.
17:47Sweet Margot.
17:48Your beauty only grows more with each passing year.
17:57My great God.
17:59Do you even remember me?
18:02You were so young when I left.
18:04Of course.
18:07And who is this sophisticated woman?
18:12Diane, it's me.
18:14Elizabeth?
18:16Yes, I know.
18:18You are unmistakable.
18:23And where's your brother, Anjou?
18:25Anjou is doing what he does best, sulking.
18:35My dearest Jean, fellow pilgrim, I am so sorry to keep you waiting.
18:39Please, don't apologise, Francis. I know you serve the Lord.
18:44Tirelessly, I like to think.
18:46But any excuse to see an enlightened follower of the new religion with your child must be cherished.
18:52Oh, stop it.
18:57I do hope I'm not interrupting.
18:59Forgive me, Your Majesty, may I present Jean d'Albray, Queen of Navarre.
19:03Pleasure.
19:05Where is Navarre, anyway?
19:07Oh, don't bother telling me. I'm hopeless for geography.
19:11Your Majesty, I am deeply honoured for this audience with another Protestant Queen.
19:16Though I would much rather have come to your court to discuss matters of spiritual governance,
19:20of which Lord Throckmorton has proved such a worthy guide.
19:26We're all terribly fond of Throckmorton.
19:29It's the puckish charm, I think.
19:32I imagine you're here to discuss your husband's proposal of trade between our proud nations,
19:36who've been enemies too long.
19:38If he pleases you.
19:39Oh, it does. As it does all true believers on these English Isles.
19:44We have a unique opportunity before us.
19:47Now, what is this rumour of a Protestant saint in France?
19:52Sister Edith is her name, is it not?
19:55The pastor who led her flock through the flames.
19:58Yes, I am eager to make her acquaintance upon my return.
20:01I'm sure.
20:03And is it true that one of her followers raised a hand to a member of the royal household?
20:09I confess I've not heard this until now.
20:11Well, apparently some peasants threw mud at one of the princes. We don't know which one.
20:16Well, if this is true, it means the people are uncommonly emboldened by, well, a burning belief in the new faith.
20:26Yes.
20:28I don't know how you expect me to concentrate on business when you are so perfectly dazzling in that dress, Sian.
20:33May I call you Sian?
20:35The beadwork itself. You make Protestant black look positively chic. Has anyone ever told you that?
20:41No, as a matter of fact. Though I do try to make some effort.
20:46Well, if this is some effort, the rest of us will soon be put to shame, eh, Throckmorton?
20:51Yes, Your Majesty.
20:53I have an idea. Let us put work aside and go to London together and visit the shops.
21:00The shops?
21:01Oh, it is one of my greatest pleasures, arriving unannounced, incognito.
21:06Rarely sets a cat among the pigeons.
21:09Unless, of course, you oppose for the sake of austerity.
21:13Oh, well, no. I mean, yes. One must maintain austerity at all costs, of course.
21:19Of course.
21:20To austerity.
21:25Well, that's settled then. Send my reply to your husband and we shall make a day of it.
21:31Throckmorton will stay behind and mind things while we're gone. I want you all to myself.
21:51You really enjoy all this, don't you?
21:55It's no secret that I take pleasure in the rituals.
22:00As do I. As do I.
22:04If you say so.
22:07You know, we should let our shared love of Catholicism be our special bond.
22:12These are difficult times, being a Catholic, but of course I don't have to tell you that after you were assaulted the way you were.
22:20So you've heard about those little bastards, have you?
22:24Do you know what your grandfather would have done?
22:26He would have burnt the whole village down to the ground for their trespass.
22:31Might be the reason we have the problems that we do today.
22:34No, Anjou.
22:37The people attacked you because they're being led astray from the very thing that holds us all together.
22:45The Catholic faith.
22:48Okay, how do I explain this?
22:50This situation is far, far more serious than you can imagine.
22:56I'm worried for you.
23:06I think I'll be alright.
23:11It's you that I worry about.
23:13I mean, I can still come here whatever happens to you.
23:16Yes, yes, you can.
23:17And perhaps your brother will appoint himself head of the church like they did in England.
23:20But that's not going to help you very much, is it?
23:25Do you know what the people call you?
23:30Do you?
23:32Well, I'll tell you.
23:33They say you're an aberration of nature.
23:37And now we have this heretic in the woods preaching the end of the Valois line.
23:42You see, Anjou, I think our interests are very much aligned.
23:47After all, it's the Catholic church that guarantees your exceptionalism.
23:51You and your siblings are only gods chosen because I say so.
23:55If it wasn't for me, the French people would have drowned you in the Loire River along with the other deviants
24:01while that devil's preacher watches from the banks and laughs at you.
24:04So, here's what I suggest.
24:08Next time you're in here telling your rosary
24:12and getting off on the handsome stained-glass men and real-life waterboys you like so much,
24:17I'd say a little prayer thanking God for me.
24:21Because if your brother is forced to decide between your moral bankruptcy
24:26and the support of his people without the church to intervene,
24:30what do you think he's going to choose?
24:33Anjou?
24:37I have been looking for you.
24:40The prodigal daughter returns.
24:43Have you come for confession, madame?
24:46Even a fallen woman has a home in the house of God if she's ready to repent her sins.
24:51Oh, I am sure you already have your hands full of fallen women.
24:56Isn't it your specialty?
24:58Anjou, do you have a moment?
25:13What was Cardinal de Guise saying to you?
25:17Nothing. Just a bit of idle chit-chat.
25:21I am sure I don't have to tell you.
25:25I am sure I don't have to tell you.
25:28He doesn't have your best interests at heart.
25:31And you do.
25:32I heard what happened to you, and I am here to tell you to forget about it.
25:37It's not likely.
25:39You must accept what is different about you, or else your enemies will exploit your shame.
25:46Shall I tell you a story about a child I once knew?
25:50The child was told to wear trousers when his sisters wore beautiful dresses.
25:57The child asked,
25:59Why must I wear plain trousers?
26:02Why can't I wear a beautiful dress like my sisters?
26:06What if all the boys wore beautiful dresses and the girls wore plain trousers?
26:12Did you let me wear dresses?
26:15Yes, you do.
26:18Because it didn't matter what you did in the privacy of the nursery,
26:22as it does not matter what you do in the privacy of your bedchamber.
26:26But what you do as a public figure matters.
26:32You are a prince, son of Henry II, grandson of Francis I.
26:38Steady leaders.
26:40You must honour them with patience and fortitude.
26:46And above all, by listening to your mother.
26:51As your father had the good sense to do.
26:54Same as your grandfather.
26:57Or, do you think you know better than they did?
27:04So, what will you do?
27:11Be my usual sunny self?
27:16Goodbye.
27:26And for this, we thank of you.
27:31For yours is the power, and yours is the glory.
27:36In your name, amen.
27:41Hello.
27:45Look at this.
27:49Perfection, isn't it?
27:52Nature makes an infinite amount, each as flawless as the last.
27:58And then discards them, without hesitation or sentimentality.
28:03Where are all these people coming from?
28:06From everywhere.
28:09How are you going to feed them? Give them shelter?
28:13I guess God will provide.
28:14Ah, you think?
28:16You can't expect me to turn them away.
28:18You know why they're here.
28:21They're here because they think you survived the fire due to some kind of miracle.
28:26And what do you think?
28:28I think you were lucky.
28:31And believe me, I couldn't be happier about it.
28:34When I thought you were gone, the whole world went dark.
28:36But now you must come home.
28:38Send these people back to where they came from.
28:41You cannot continue to denounce the king while your followers attack Catholics.
28:45I cannot renounce violence when violence is the foundation under which we live.
28:49If you don't, the king will respond with force.
28:51Well, then I suppose we'll find out if God really is with us.
28:54And what will happen to all these people?
28:56You expect me to believe you care about these people?
29:00Like the leaves in the trees, there are an infinite number.
29:06If I convince the king to prosecute the Duke of Guise for his crime,
29:11will you send them away?
29:17All I need from you is to name him.
29:22Do as you see fit.
29:24But remember that each of us, regardless of our station, must be redeemed.
29:30The idea of justice here on Earth is a joke we play on ourselves.
29:34It's time we see things for how they really are, rather than how we wish them to be.
29:51Maximus.
29:53For fuck's sake.
29:54Are you cheating?
29:55Of course not. I don't know how.
29:57Remind me to teach you.
30:01From your wife.
30:04Ah.
30:06Ah, dearest Antoine, blah, blah, blah.
30:09Ah, apparently she has done her duty.
30:12The English are ready to do a deal, and one of us should head over to Suite.
30:17Excellent news.
30:18Better than that, your wife will be delaying her return.
30:21Ah, perhaps she's gotten lucky with old Throckmorton.
30:25Is it an open marriage, then?
30:27I think you'll find that most marriages are somewhat...
30:31...ajar.
30:32As soon as Catherine returns, you will set sail and begin our negotiation.
30:36Why wait?
30:37Well, we can't very well set terms without the approval of the Queen Mother.
30:40Is she more important than the King?
30:42Well, the chain of command is a complicated matter, ever shifting and open to interpretation.
30:47One needs a lot of experience to truly grasp its nuances.
30:51You mean the Queen Mother makes all the decisions and everybody else lines up behind her?
30:54Pretty much, yeah.
30:56The way I see it, if we act quickly and get Frenchmen trading with Englishmen,
31:01they might stop burning churches and cutting priests' throats.
31:04Not to mention we could make a few bob on the side.
31:07How?
31:08Better to ask forgiveness than permission, that's what I always say.
31:11Of course, the Guises will cause a fuss.
31:15If only the Guises could be properly distracted.
31:17They might not know what's happening until it's too late.
31:22It's my understanding that Antoinette Guise is very fond of you, Father.
31:26Who told you that?
31:27People tend to drop their guard around you when they think you're an idiot.
31:30Well, indeed.
31:36Tancred!
31:38Send word back to Jeanne, saying that I'll be over to England as soon as the wing can carry me.
31:42And get me a meeting with the King. Now!
31:44Yes, my Lord.
31:45Go! Quick!
31:47Quickly, Tancred!
31:48Hurry up!
31:49Will do. On the way.
31:52Do you think you are enough to travel?
31:55If I could get us a horse, would you take us back to court?
32:00The doctor, for now, will help you.
32:03God directed us here.
32:05Don't talk like that.
32:06Why won't you open your heart to the word of God?
32:09Because there is no God, and you sound like an idiot.
32:24You are in pain. You must pray for strength.
32:28I will.
32:48I'll be right back.
32:52Excuse me. Excuse me!
33:00What is it, sister?
33:02My friend needs medical attention.
33:05I know someone who can help him.
33:08But he won't leave unless you tell him to.
33:11I have come to the unfortunate realisation that prayer is the only way to separate the spirit from the flesh and end our suffering here on earth.
33:20He's going to die.
33:21Death will one day come for us all.
33:24Why should Matisse be an exception?
33:29Your friend is free to do as he wants.
33:32But I won't tell him to leave.
33:36He's welcome to stay as long as he likes.
33:39And if you were to try and take him against his will,
33:46you'd be punished.
34:09Still alive, I see. It's quite an achievement for someone with your sense of loyalty.
34:13Nice to see you too.
34:14And here I was, worrying they might have drowned you as a witch.
34:17Not yet.
34:18I imagine you're looking for your friend, Arbus.
34:21No one can tell me what's happened to her.
34:23Wow.
34:25She's had the misfortune of getting herself mixed up in world events.
34:30But I feel that you're starting to regret some of your decisions.
34:34That observation does not make you a magician.
34:38But yes, I often wonder how I can return to Catherine's favor.
34:43You can't.
34:45She won't forgive you for what you did. It's not in her nature.
34:49Now, if you want to get back to court, you've got to find a way of making yourself indispensable.
35:03Well?
35:04I made some inquiries.
35:06The Duke's lineage has been confirmed. He is your brother.
35:09Anything else?
35:10A letter from Margo.
35:13I presume you read it?
35:25We should return to court.
35:26Of course.
35:30Madame, Duke de Medici.
35:32The Queen was not expecting you.
35:34No.
35:35Your Majesty.
35:36I thought an impromptu court might be one of the privileges of family.
35:38The fact that we supposedly share the same blood does not make us family.
35:43Except perhaps on a technicality.
35:45Of course.
35:47Aside from your father, no Medici has ever done anything for me.
35:51I had hoped that you and I might prove the exception.
35:55So what is it you want?
35:57For you to know how proud he would be if he saw you now ruling France.
36:01It is my son who rules France.
36:04One of Europe knows who really rules.
36:08How old were you when he died?
36:10Nine.
36:12Old enough to remember.
36:16You know, there's a villa about a day's journey from here.
36:21Our father used to take me there.
36:23The last time I saw him, he told me I had a baby sister, Katerina.
36:30When I could afford it, I bought that house.
36:32There's a monument to those few years I had with him.
36:38I'd like to show it to you.
36:42Unless it's too much too soon?
36:46To live your life as an orphan,
36:48then to discover there is someone who shares your blood,
36:52someone who'd be there for you when you need them,
36:54as our father would have wanted it to be.
36:59I'm afraid it is not too much.
37:03I would be intrigued to join you.
37:05Your Majesty, what of the letter from court?
37:09How about these things are all right?
37:11Oh, my son was the victim of some unruly children.
37:13Diane can manage, aren't you?
37:15I'll be ready to leave in the morning.
37:17You have made me very happy.
37:30I believe Edith can stop the Protestant attacks.
37:33Excellent.
37:35But only if we hold the Duke of Guise responsible for his crimes.
37:38Well, we can't do that.
37:40She has identified him as the man who gave the command to burn down her church.
37:44Mother said the Catholics will rise up if we arrest the Duke.
37:47Well, the situation has changed since your mother left.
37:50The people want justice.
37:52We have to act before things get even further out of control.
37:54You're sure this is the right course?
37:56You said you trusted me.
37:59Well, trust me when I say the people have to believe they can rely on the rule of law.
38:06The second Prince of the Blood.
38:08For fuck's sake, I'm in the bath.
38:10Tell him it's urgent.
38:11He says it's urgent, sire.
38:13Fine.
38:17Oh, Your Majesty.
38:19A clean body leads to a clean mind.
38:22That's always been my motto.
38:24Has it?
38:25Can't this wait?
38:26No, Your Majesty, I fear it cannot.
38:28We have had news from England.
38:30Queen Elizabeth is open to a deal and has requested my immediate presence.
38:34Now, your mother asked that we not act in haste,
38:36but I wager the situation may have changed in her absence.
38:40That's what he says.
38:41The Protestant attacks must be stopped.
38:43We could just kill them.
38:44Then you'll be at war.
38:45It was the attack on the church that put us in this situation to begin with.
38:48Yeah, I mean, I couldn't agree more, Your Majesty.
38:51You want me to arrest the Duke of Guise and make a deal with England,
38:54all without my mother present?
38:55Oh, arrest the Duke of Guise?
38:58Ha-ha!
38:59Yes, well, while that would be a great personal tragedy,
39:02he is my cousin, despite our differences.
39:05Alas, politically speaking,
39:07it's the best way to reassure the people of the king's impartiality,
39:11along with a deal with the English
39:14that will enrich all Frenchmen, regardless of their religion.
39:18It's my experience that nothing unites people more than gold, Luca.
39:23Now is the time to act, Your Majesty.
39:25Your mother has taught you well,
39:27but you are the king, and you are ready.
39:30Believe me.
39:31Incredibly, I find myself in agreement with the Prince of the Blood.
39:34You see, and that never happens.
39:36No.
39:37You're sure you can handle the English queen?
39:39I hear she is shrewd.
39:41The Virgin Queen?
39:42How shrewd can she be?
39:44She's never even had a man.
39:46Furthermore, she's never negotiated with a Bourbon.
39:49That's hardly reassuring.
39:50Fine, go.
39:52I want constant updates.
39:53Of course.
39:54And you can bring the Duke in for questioning,
39:58but do it quietly.
39:59Yes, Your Majesty.
40:01I'll tell my mother once it is done.
40:03Now get out.
40:05Both of you.
40:06Um, can I take some of these biscuits?
40:08Take the plate, fuck off.
40:10Thank you, Your Majesty.
40:22Have you lost your way?
40:33I was looking for you, actually.
40:35Where's your son?
40:37Oh, he's around here somewhere.
40:39How are you getting on with him, anyway?
40:42I can't work out if he's an idiot or a genius.
40:45That's a fine line.
40:47What does he make of you?
40:49Oh, he sees right through me.
40:51At least he talks to you.
40:53My children despise me.
40:55I can only hope in time they will realize why I am the way I am.
41:01When your children are your only method of influence on the world,
41:05it's really a comfortable position.
41:08Well, perhaps I could come in and distract you from your troubles.
41:18Do you remember how to do it?
41:20Like it was yesterday.
41:25All right, then.
41:39I've never seen you on this path before.
41:41It's a new habit.
41:42I'm also contemplating the adoption of many new habits in my life.
41:46Oh?
41:47Do you believe we pay for our sins in an afterlife?
41:49I don't believe anyone pays for anything here or anywhere else.
41:52That's why nothing has any meaning.
41:54I disagree.
41:58At least I want to disagree.
42:04I don't think I could carry on if that were true.
42:13I think someone as singular as you,
42:16if you stay true to yourself,
42:18will find a way.
42:20You find me singular?
42:23The Duke of Giza's wonderful questioning
42:26in relation to a violation of the policy of tolerance.
42:29What? On whose orders?
42:32The king's.
42:33Well, there must be a mistake.
42:36Don't touch me.
42:38Do you really want to do this here?
42:50Fine.
43:05Come on, Hercule, give us a tune.
43:08Alas, my love, you do me wrong
43:11To cast me off discourteously
43:14And I have loved you so long
43:17That I've been in your company
43:20Greensleeves was my delight
43:24Greensleeves was all my joy
43:27Greensleeves was my heart of gold
43:30And ever my lover Greensleeves
43:35Alas, my love, you do me wrong
43:38To cast me off discourteously
43:42And I have loved you so long
43:45That I've been in your company
43:49Greensleeves
43:57We mean no harm.
43:58Nor do we.
43:59Please, go about your business.
44:02You are most kind.
44:04Would you gentlemen like to atone your sins
44:07and be born again in a second baptism?
44:10All are welcome.
44:12You need only humility, just as Sister Edith says.
44:15Sister Edith?
44:17You follow her?
44:19God has sent her to us.
44:25If you say so.
44:28Don't you bow to your princes?
44:31Oh, forgive me, but Sister Edith says my prince is in heaven.
44:35I mean, no disrespect.
44:38He means no disrespect.
44:40In that case, it's perfectly all right.
44:44Are you going to let him get away with that?
44:53We should go.
44:54I know you.
44:55You are Prince Anjou.
44:59I am?
45:00They say you frequent houses of ill repute
45:03where young men are sold as slaves
45:05to satisfy perverse instincts.
45:07And that you've been seen in the halls of the palace
45:10dressed in women's clothing.
45:13Oh, you'll find no judgment here.
45:16But I'm afraid the judgment of God in heaven
45:19will be severe.
45:22I can help you.
45:24All you have to do is to get down off your horse
45:28to start the journey towards salvation.
45:47What are you doing?
45:48You're joking.
45:51Come on, stop fucking around.
46:02Oh, for fuck's sake, guys, back it in.
46:07They mean no harm.
46:09Anjou, are you all right?
46:11What's it doing?
46:12What the fuck do you find out?
46:22Is he really accepting the Holy Spirit?
46:26I think it moves through him.
46:32Follow me.
46:52Let's go.
47:00Are you ready to be born again?
47:04I am.
47:16Leave it alone.
47:22If you've had your second baptism,
47:25then consider this one your third.
47:27In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,
47:30let your sins be washed away.
47:51Come on.
48:21Come on.
48:24Come on.
48:46You did it, Charles.
48:49You just made the world a better place.
48:55Now it's a hunt.
49:03Help!
49:24Help!
49:27Help!
49:30Help!
49:33Help!
49:36Help!
49:39Help!
49:42Help!
49:45Help!
49:48Help!
49:52Help!
49:55Help!
50:02Help!
50:05Help!
50:10Help!
50:14Help!
50:17The Holy Roman Emperor is coming here.
50:25Oh yeah, so I hope everyone's been good.
50:28The Duke of Guise has been arrested against my instruction, while the second Prince of
50:32the Blood travels to England on terms I have not agreed to.
50:35I think it is time to discuss the future of the House of Bourbons.
50:38We will not hide!
50:39The country is divided for the so-called profit.
50:42It does not help my cause.
50:44She must be exposed as the fraud she really is.
