00:00Previously on The Serpent Queen.
00:17I used to be just like you.
00:18There's nobody in the world to care about me.
00:20If you learn to use your powers, you will achieve greatness.
00:23How would you know?
00:24I'm a fortune teller.
00:25My dear niece.
00:27Your marriage has been arranged.
00:28Second son of the King of France.
00:30Then something terrible happened.
00:31I fell in love.
00:32He's the best man I know.
00:34And do you know what I learned that day?
00:36Never to trust a single soul.
00:38I'm afraid I have bad news.
00:40Your uncle, the Pope, Medici Pig, is dead.
00:44Don't you understand?
00:45We will both be out unless you give Henry a son.
00:48I must get pregnant.
00:50I'll pay what's required.
00:51With Ruggieri, there's always a price.
00:54Find the man who killed my son.
00:57Was it you?
00:58For your dressmaker, someone's got to die.
01:01Please!
01:02Your new Dauphine is with child.
01:06When you find life conspiring against you, you must find a way to change it to your favor.
01:13I tolerated the nights you spent together.
01:16I am his wife!
01:17I'm where I want to be.
01:19You just in the ceremonies today?
01:21It would please me to see you as you were when we first met.
01:23Madame de Poitiers.
01:26The king is dead.
01:27This is a family matter.
01:28Your presence is no longer required.
01:30My first order of business.
01:32A decree that makes Protestantism illegal on French soil.
01:34Fuck off.
01:36Vanishment.
01:36You fucking bitch!
01:37I will wind her up and watch that silly girl burn this country to the ground.
01:43Do you have a plan?
01:44Separate the king from Mary's influence.
01:46I must ask you to reconsider before we reach our destination.
01:49Well, what happens at our destination, brother?
01:51An attack on the king!
01:56What is the fate of a young boy when the fate of a nation hangs in the balance?
01:59It is everything.
02:01Fuck!
02:01You're fucking mental.
02:03I'm not.
02:04I'm just better at this than you are.
02:06Tell me where to find Antoine.
02:08Momorenci will be regent.
02:09I can't just be forced to sign away the regency to whomever has the bigger gun.
02:13I don't see why not.
02:17Good boy.
02:18I had him sign over the regency to someone capable of sacrificing their friends and plotting
02:21with their enemies to rule France.
02:23Why does it have to hurt so much?
02:26I have something here that will take your pain away.
02:29Give it to me.
02:30Please.
02:32Now you must rest.
02:34And I will leave ye to live with your choices.
02:38Hear ye, hear ye!
02:39Louis of Bourbon is pardoned for the crime of treason.
02:42By order of the new regent, Her Majesty Queen Catherine.
02:45I will write Queen Elizabeth in England.
02:47When she hears that some commoner has stolen the throne of France, she will be moved to
02:50help me.
02:51Are you with me?
02:52I am with you.
02:53My cousin wrote to me saying that she would help me in my time of need.
02:57I'm sure you've been fooled by forgery, Her Majesty.
02:59What?
03:00I don't give you loyalty.
03:01I imagine she realizes she cannot govern without women like me on her side.
03:06Checkmate.
03:06On the contrary, I will spend the rest of my life getting back at her for what she did
03:11to us.
03:11Now she promises to make tolerance the new law of the land and break the treaty with the
03:16Holy Roman Emperor.
03:18Allow me.
03:23Feels good to be bad, doesn't it?
03:24They say that you get the life that you deserve.
03:33But I say, fuck that.
03:37Life is about what you are willing to do to survive.
03:40And I am willing to do anything.
03:46How about you?
03:47Life is about what you are willing to do to survive.
04:17I had been regent for more than ten years.
04:41As my son, the king, was finally of age.
04:45The royal family embarked on a grand tour of France to ensure the loyalty of their subjects.
04:59Most of whom were illiterate, superstitious, and increasingly disillusioned with the Catholic
05:08Church.
05:08Push.
05:09Higher.
05:13Push.
05:14Push.
05:15Push.
05:20Nothing like the grand tour had ever been attempted.
05:23Push.
05:46Push.
05:47Throw!
05:49I guess we're here
06:06Give me my shoes
06:08Looks like another shithole
06:11Hope they like jugglers
06:13It's time to play king, eh?
06:16If only they knew you'd piss the bed until you were twelve
06:20Shut up, Hercule
06:22I don't understand why we all have to go
06:24You know the answer
06:24To bond the people to the royal family
06:26It's presumably so they don't want to kill us
06:29Of course, if they do want to kill us
06:31Well, we won't know until it's too late
06:34His royal highness, Charles IX, king of France
06:38Has come to meet his subjects
06:40The people of France
06:42Along with Prince Alexander-Edouard
06:44The Duke of Anjou
06:47Prince Hercule
06:48And the princesses
06:51Elizabeth and Margot
06:52How do I look?
06:53What does it matter?
06:55They're peasants
06:56Has it ever occurred to you they're just like us?
06:58Only born in the wrong place?
06:59Baby, stupid Margot, they're nothing like us
07:01Yes
07:01We were born to rule
07:03And they were born to serve
07:05Looks like it's showtime
07:07Dear subjects
07:32It is my pleasure to greet you in person
07:34Thank you for your fealty
07:36Maybe the children should return to the carriage
07:42Oh, fuck
07:43Please, that's fair enough
07:45Quite close enough
07:47Not yet
07:48Get back, I said
07:50Get back
07:51Your majesty
07:53Never underestimate the power of presentation
08:17Pendulous
08:32Like massive
08:33Hello, cousin
08:34Ah, I heard you had a bit of trouble on the road
08:37Are you alright?
08:38I was trampled to the ground by members of the public
08:40How do you think I am?
08:41Kraut was passionate
08:43I grant you
08:43They were fucking animals is what they were
08:45All part of God's flock, I'm sure you'll agree
08:47Sorry, we're late
08:53What did we miss?
08:59Can I just say unequivocally
09:01This grand tour, taking the king to the people
09:03This whole policy of tolerance has now gone too far
09:06It's a direct challenge to the order of things
09:08And how they've always been
09:09It's a direct challenge to the Catholic Church
09:11Is what it is
09:12We don't expect you to be happy about that
09:14Yeah
09:14Do you two idiots
09:15Have any idea how dangerous this is?
09:18Princes of the blood, divine right
09:20Where do you think that comes from?
09:21The Catholic Church
09:22That's me
09:23So when the people stop accepting my guidance
09:25You two are going to have to prove
09:27You have something to actually contribute to society
09:29Make it on your own
09:31Get a job
09:31Do you think you can do that, bollop chops?
09:33It is my intention to unite the people behind the king
09:36Not out of any fear of divine retribution
09:40But by choice
09:42By choice?
09:42What are we, Greek now?
09:44Peasants are like livestock
09:45They need to be told what to do
09:47The cardinal underestimates the French people
09:50Montmorency's right
09:51There's been no religious violence since we completed our grand tour
09:55I think we can safely say that my strategy's been a success
09:59Indeed it has
10:00A golden age might just be upon us
10:02Might be overstating it a bit
10:03Most of the country still shits in the street
10:05Plumbing issues aside
10:06We're enjoying an unprecedented era of peace
10:09Peace at home
10:09Peace with the Holy Roman Empire
10:11Peace with England
10:13And here it comes
10:14To that end I'd like to propose a trade deal with Queen Elizabeth
10:16Well you want France
10:18To ally with its archenemy
10:20Protestant England
10:22Your Majesty
10:22This is ridiculous
10:23The people will revolt
10:24The people will be too busy getting fat and rich
10:27And building commodes to shit in
10:29I believe it's worth mentioning that we attain this peace
10:33By acting with caution and deliberation
10:35Yes
10:36I mean judging French prejudice towards the English
10:40Now is not the time for such an alliance
10:43Oh thank God for that
10:45But when France becomes a secular state
10:48It is something to consider in the future
10:51Secular state
10:53And there we have it
10:55That's your ultimate goal isn't it
10:57We all have to evolve cardinal
10:58The Catholic Church has been in business for 1600 years
11:02Not by evolving
11:03Then it will die
11:05What about you?
11:09Me?
11:09Yeah you
11:10Have you got anything to say for yourself?
11:14May I respectfully remind the King
11:17That your mother's regency is at an end
11:19You're entitled to have your own opinion
11:22Your Majesty
11:23Of course
11:26Your Majesty
11:29Whatever Mother decides
11:37I'm sure we'll be best
11:38So that's all we can expect from our King
11:47Mother knows best
11:49Wow
11:50I will remind you to speak with respect to your King
11:53That will be enough for today
11:56Lady Raima
12:12I beg your pardon
12:14But this is my brother Bernard
12:16I told you about
12:17The lace maker
12:19Yes milady
12:20And my cut
12:23Five percent
12:26Eight
12:26Very well
12:28Come and see me later
12:30And I'll give you an answer
12:32Re-seal them
12:40And deliver them as bidden to your masters
12:41Yes milady
12:43Right
12:45Ladies
12:45You know the drill
12:46Mouth shut
12:48And your ears open
12:49Anything you hear
12:53You bring to me first
12:54Understood
12:55I think it's time we toast my big brother
13:08After his historic victory
13:11To the King of all France
13:14The people's King
13:17Congratulations on a job well done
13:20No one could have done it better I'm sure
13:22To the King
13:24To the King
13:25Come on then
13:32Let's have it
13:34What?
13:37I'm waiting for the insult
13:38Why don't you get it over with?
13:40Insult?
13:41Why would I insult you?
13:43You're my King
13:43Just give the orders
13:45And I'm sure I'll be dragged off to the dungeon
13:47Or I could teach you a lesson myself
13:49Like I used to
13:50Ooh well I would check with Mother first
13:53Just see if that's good for the brand
13:55I make my own decisions
13:57Really?
13:57That's funny
13:58That's not what I heard
13:59I mean
13:59What was it you said to the Privy Council?
14:02Whatever Mother says
14:03Shut up Hercule
14:05Mother is teaching me to rule
14:08I happen to have the forethought to want to learn
14:10Something that might be difficult for you to comprehend
14:13In fact the rest of us can only thank God
14:16I was born before you were
14:17Is that what you tell yourself?
14:22Well I've got some news for you brother
14:23And this might sting a little but
14:25Mother's never giving up her power
14:27Especially not to you
14:29That's why you're not allowed to make any decisions
14:32You think it would be different if it were someone else?
14:35Hmm
14:35Well
14:36Now that you mention it
14:37I guess I would say that some people are just born to lead
14:40Like you?
14:41Oh come on
14:41I mean you can't really think you're up to this
14:44You don't even have any friends
14:45And you have to admit
14:47I do inspire loyalty
14:49I for one would do anything my prince asks me
14:53Stand on my head
14:54Dress like a tart
14:55Or even cut your throat if I ask them nicely
14:57That's not funny on you
14:59I'd be careful if I were you
15:00I'm obviously joking
15:02What's the matter with you two?
15:04What?
15:04Well we can't take a joke anymore
15:06Stop it
15:08What?
15:11Stop it on you
15:12I'm warning you
15:13Oh right
15:14You mean this?
15:18Aren't you bored of black?
15:20Maybe it's time for a new colour
15:21I wear black in mourning for your father
15:23The people expect it of me
15:26Well if your wardrobe isn't going to change
15:28There's no reason why you can't find yourself a new man
15:31You're not dead yet are you?
15:35I don't have time for such things
15:37The country needs me
15:39Almost as much as you need the country
15:41What's that supposed to mean?
15:43Nothing
15:44Just
15:45Well let's be honest
15:48You had us tracing through every tiny village between here and Provence
15:52To strengthen the Valois grip on power
15:54And for better or worse
15:56That's you
15:57Let's not pretend it was for the good of the country
15:59What is it?
16:06A situation you might want to attend to
16:09Just
16:10Stop
16:14Stop
16:16Enough
16:21Your Majesty
16:26Everyone out
16:28Now perhaps you can tell me what the problem is
16:38The problem is
16:38Your favourite son is a cunt
16:40Well don't insult Hercule
16:42I'm not her favourite
16:43Christ
16:44Did you think I was serious?
16:45I favour none of my children over another
16:47Of course
16:48Well if you don't teach him a lesson
16:49I will
16:50Lesson are you going to teach me?
16:55Well
16:55What is the meaning of this Andrew?
16:58I'm sure you can see for yourself
17:00The king is clearly crumbling under the pressure of his birthright
17:03Look
17:05If you want people to take the Valois court seriously
17:07Then why don't you just give me an official position?
17:09You are a prince
17:09What more do you want?
17:11I want a seat on the Privy Council
17:13The Privy Council
17:14You are serious
17:18Some people have the temperament to govern
17:25But judging by what I just saw
17:29Clearly you do not
17:32You see
17:34Your sole purpose in life
17:37To be to support your king
17:39Is that understood?
17:41Is that understood, aren't you?
17:44Yes
17:44Fine
17:46Whatever
17:47I was joking anyway
17:49When I could
17:59I still found comfort in the forest
18:02Some habits die hard, I suppose
18:04Go on
18:23Can I see?
18:26Off with you
18:27It's been a while since I've seen you
18:45My friend?
18:55An apprentice
18:58Yes, you have been busy
19:03Though we're subjects inspired by the sight of their king
19:08Seeing the very pink of his flesh
19:10Did the royal family provide a balm for the peasants' hard lives
19:14With the touch of their soft and calloused hands?
19:19You mock me
19:21Only a little
19:22And you agree with those who criticise my policy?
19:25My only concern is for your welfare
19:27And therefore wish to point out what should already be
19:30Painfully obvious
19:32You'll never be able to govern by love
19:35Only by fear
19:38You're wrong
19:41If the people love their king
19:44Then they will protect him
19:46Then what are you doing here?
19:56A dream, was it?
19:57The same one
20:00Shall we?
20:07I find myself alone in the forest
20:23A place I know
20:26But I cannot remember how I got there
20:28In a tree
20:31I find a mirror
20:32It becomes a bird's nest
20:37Inside there are ten eggs
20:40But only one bird flies free
20:43Enough
20:53It's just a dream
20:57Ten eggs
20:58For ten children
20:59And you wonder what it means
21:01There's always a price
21:04If the price is my children
21:09Then you're worried about
21:10That is a price
21:11I'm not willing to pay
21:12It gets easier, I imagine
21:21They've already buried four
21:25I was looking for you
21:32What are you reading?
21:35Nothing
21:35It's just something I found
21:36You know you shouldn't let Anjou
21:37Get under your skin like that
21:39He's an idiot
21:40I know
21:41And I'm an idiot
21:42For letting him get to me
21:43Can I ask you something?
21:47Yeah, of course
21:48Do you think mother
21:56Will ever really let me rule?
21:59Make decisions of my own?
22:02I mean she's supposed to now
22:03But
22:03I don't know
22:05Do you remember father?
22:10Not really
22:11Well a bit
22:12He didn't seem very happy
22:15Drank a lot
22:16But do you know why he drank?
22:21You can't wait for anybody
22:22To give you permission, Charles
22:23You must be your own man
22:26You don't want to end up like father
22:29Thank you
22:37Thank you
22:37Bless you, Sister Edith
22:48Thank you, Sister Edith
22:51Bless you, Sister Edith
22:54I haven't seen you in a while
23:04Told you I was traveling with the court
23:06Yes
23:07Grand tour
23:08Heard about that
23:10Taking the king to the people
23:13I'm not sure
23:14I'm not sure what good it will do then
23:15A country united behind the king
23:17Will be good for everyone
23:19What these people need
23:21Is food
23:21Shelter
23:23Honest work
23:24Believe me
23:25I'm doing all I can
23:26I'm grateful
23:29But do you ever imagine
23:32What you could have done
23:33If you took the regency for yourself
23:35Instead of prostrating yourself
23:37Before the woman that tried to kill you
23:39We've been over this
23:40Catherine is the best person to lead
23:42You're welcome
23:43You consider yourself a good judge of character
23:47I picked you, didn't I?
23:50Why did you do that?
23:51Because you made me believe
23:53There's something good in the world
23:54No
23:58I made you think there was something good about you
24:02Perhaps I was just telling you
24:06What you wanted to hear
24:07Did it?
24:12Secular fucking state
24:19You're not even listening to me, are you?
24:21No
24:21I knew it
24:22My darlings
24:28Come kiss me
24:29What brings you to court?
24:41Concerned for my children
24:42What else?
24:43Are you injured?
24:44I'm perfectly fine, Mother
24:45Oh, thank God for that
24:46In my day
24:47That rabble would have been strung up
24:49Just for laying hands
24:50On a member of the ruling class
24:51Well, your day's over
24:52And if the modern world is one where there is no respect for order
24:55I want no part of it
24:56Sure, the footy's mutual
24:57Wouldn't it have been much simpler for you to live out your days
25:01Far from the court of Charles IX?
25:03And surrender to our fate?
25:04No
25:05I'm well aware that the court belongs to Catherine and not her son
25:09And that her policies will lead to disaster or misery for the house of Gis
25:14Which effectively is the same thing
25:15Tell me
25:17What happens when the people decide they can talk directly to God?
25:23I'll be out of a job
25:24Well, that's just the half of it
25:27For starters, who is to say what God says back?
25:32Without enforced conformity, there is only anarchy
25:35Well, perhaps given time, Catherine will start to see sense
25:40When it will be too late
25:41She must be made to see the dangers now when it can still be corrected
25:45And you know exactly how, I suppose?
25:49Well, as a matter of fact, I do
25:51Hmm
25:51An unfortunate event that might bring her attentions to the dangers at hand
25:57There is a church not far from here
26:01Whose congregation of infidels worship their Protestant God in peace
26:06If they were to be made an example of
26:11Something suitably brutal and apparently random
26:16There would inevitably be reprisals
26:19A series of tit-for-tat killings
26:21Which would all soon escalate into an existential struggle between the religions
26:27In which Catherine and her marionette of a son would have no choice
26:31But to side with us
26:33The Catholic Church
26:34France is a tinderbox
26:37All we have to do is touch a match
26:39You want us to start a war?
26:41War is inevitable
26:42Might as well get it over with while we still have the advantage
26:45I think
26:48I think she has a point
26:52I want no part of it
26:58Oh, sit down, Francois
27:01It's just a suggestion
27:02I've been down this road with you two before
27:05Do you remember your granddaughter?
27:07Our niece, Mary
27:09Oh
27:09This will end the same way
27:11I want no part of it
27:13Jack
27:17You got any other bright ideas?
27:23Well, don't worry
27:23He'll come round
27:25When he realises the other option is to have ceased to exist
27:29Feel that, Antoine
27:34The wind is blowing our way
27:38Yes, exciting
27:41But, uh, the cardinal does make a strong point, doesn't he?
27:46I'm not sure I want to make it on my own
27:49I'm not sure I could, actually
27:51Maybe if I were challenged to a game of petonk
27:56I'd make a fair fist of it, but
27:58Aside from that
27:59I'd be fucked
28:00See, I'm not clever like you, Louis
28:04Fair point, Antoine
28:06But
28:06Let me assure you
28:08No matter how France evolves
28:10The peasants
28:11Will always need nobles to look up to
28:13It's human nature
28:15And since our father had the foresight to adopt
28:18The new religion
28:19We are the peasants' natural allies
28:22You have to hand it to father
28:25Gambling with our status like that
28:28High risk, high reward
28:30Now we must deliver on their loyalty
28:32By opening back-channel negotiations with England
28:35Back-channel across the channel
28:37Excellent pun, brother
28:38But may I remind you
28:40Catherine said no trade with England
28:41Well, Catherine said no trade with England yet
28:44All we need is an introduction at Elizabeth's court
28:48Which means
28:49You'll have to get your wife here
28:52What?
28:53For fuck's sake
28:56You know I'm fucking terrified of her
28:58Afraid so
28:59And your son
29:01Oh, God, no
29:03He's awful
29:05In fact, I think he might actually be a moron
29:07Medically
29:08Well, it's years since you've seen him
29:11So unless you want to make it on your own
29:13As a professional petanque player
29:14You'll get them here
29:16I interrupted your reading
29:33Yeah, you did
29:34That's why I come up here
29:35For the quiet
29:36Just me and the servants
29:36Now you
29:38So how'd you get on your grand tour?
29:45I think we gave them a good show
29:46You mean being paraded around in a pretty dress
29:51And directed to smile at peasants?
29:54It's all a bit nauseating, to be honest
29:56I thought girls like pretty dresses
29:59Not all girls
30:00What I don't like is feeling like some piece in my mother's game
30:06Oh, well
30:07I'd like to tell you they grow out of that
30:09But they don't
30:10Take it
30:13I couldn't
30:14It's yours
30:15I'll finish with it
30:18You wish to see me, your majesty?
30:39Yes
30:40Perhaps you're concerned with the Bourbons?
30:42I hear Antoine has invited his wife to court
30:46Yes
30:47First Antoine at Guise
30:49And now Jean d'Albret
30:51Her presence must mean he's up to something
30:54He spent most of his adult life avoiding being in the same room, sir
30:58Maybe he's simply rediscovered his matrimonial duty
31:01Unlikely
31:03I was trying to be humorous
31:05Tell me what I can do for you
31:13I fear the king misunderstands my intentions
31:20Perhaps if you were to talk to him
31:24To give him a clearer idea of what I'm trying to do for friends
31:28And for him
31:29He looks up to you
31:32Because he misses his father
31:35As you miss your husband
31:38I imagine
31:39Well, do as you ask
31:44I hear there was some trouble between you and your brother
32:01My brother is always happy to let me know what people say about me when I'm not in the room
32:05People say many things
32:07Most of which they don't remember in the morning
32:10These are delicate times
32:15Religious tolerance will one day lead to a more stable society
32:20But we must give it time
32:23Time
32:24Of course, it's always time
32:26But how am I to know if my mother will ever make way for me?
32:32Before we died
32:32Your father asked me to care for you as I would my own son
32:37I gave him my word
32:39I believe your mother is motivated by what is best for you
32:43And if I have ever caused to doubt it
32:45I will tell you
32:47And when it's time for you to govern with no advice or opposition from your mother
32:53I will support you
32:55You have my word
32:57I trust you
33:00I believe you trust my mother
33:03But you would not be the first to underestimate her ambition
33:08Drink?
33:22I don't drink
33:23No, no, of course not
33:26Filthy habit
33:27So you've fallen far without my supervision, Antoine?
33:31Well, depends where you start from, doesn't it?
33:34So, uh, Henry, uh, what do you make of the big palace, eh?
33:39I raised our son not to waste his words
33:41Mission accomplished
33:42Keep them wanting more
33:44Good idea
33:45Well, perhaps it's time you told me why you asked me here, Antoine
33:48Yes, of course
33:49Um, Henry
33:51Do you want to run along so Mummy and Daddy can have a little talk?
33:54Oh, no, it's all right
33:55You can speak freely in front of him
33:56He has no interests
33:58Aside from scripture
34:00No wonder he has so many friends
34:02Well, it's quite simple, really
34:05Um, we just need to ask you the smallest of favours
34:08Do you still correspond with Lord Throckmorton in the English court?
34:14Yes
34:15Well, he's an ardent believer in the new religion
34:17I don't think I'd be going too far as to say
34:20Our correspondence on the matters of faith
34:23Sustains us both
34:25Say, you fancy him?
34:29What?
34:30Nothing
34:30Focus, Antoine
34:32Wonderful
34:33All we need you to do is, in your next letter
34:36Ask your man if his queen would be interested in exploring a possible trading partnership with France
34:42You know, we sent them some salt from Normandy
34:44They provide some woven textiles
34:46You know, something small scale to get things going
34:49Then we see what's possible
34:51That's all it is
34:52Nothing more
34:52Easy peasy, lemon squeezy
34:55No, I couldn't possibly
34:57What?
34:58Why not?
34:59Well, perhaps you've forgotten, Antoine
35:01But France is a Catholic kingdom
35:03And it seeks to destroy my faith and consume Navarre of where I'm queen
35:08Why on earth would I want to promote its interests?
35:11France will soon be a secular country with many times more wealth than tiny Navarre
35:16And your husband and son may have more influence in that newly secular country than you could possibly imagine
35:22If we handle things right
35:25So you propose a treaty with Queen Elizabeth as a means to promote the new religion?
35:30Amongst other things, yes
35:31Very well
35:34Then prove it
35:37Have your king make a gesture towards the Protestants
35:41I don't mean a speech to a crowd of peasants
35:43But an unmistakable gesture of respect for the new religion
35:48By what?
35:50Oh, there's a church not far from here with an effective preacher, young woman
35:53If the king were to visit, I would feel comfortable to do as you ask
35:56How are we supposed to get him to do that?
36:00I don't think that's my problem
36:02Matisse?
36:09I'm late, I'm sorry
36:10You've been at that church again, haven't you?
36:15You have a job, you know
36:16You can find someone else
36:17But you won't
36:18Come with me just once
36:22If you don't like it, I'll never go again
36:25I promise
36:26I'll think about it
36:31Your Majesty
36:44This is a happy coincidence
36:45Is it?
36:47I thought you hated riding
36:49So
36:54What diversion do my favourite cousins have for me today?
36:58Favourite cousins?
36:59What a lovely thing to say
37:00We could not help but notice your unhappiness at the Privy Council meeting
37:03I must work on my gambling face
37:05Your mother means well, of course
37:06But she does have so much on her plate
37:08Hard to see the wood for the trees
37:09What is it that you want?
37:12To help
37:12Word has spread about how the people received you on the grand tour
37:17They do adore you
37:18Yeah, they do
37:19They're afraid of your mother
37:21And of course that has its place
37:22But a people's love for their king is a different matter
37:26It was quite a moment for me, to be honest
37:29For the first time, I felt like I might actually be able to lead the people
37:33Well, of course
37:34Where would you take them, Your Majesty?
37:37How would you lead France?
37:38When this period of tutorial under my mother is over
37:44And her policy of tolerance has created a stable society
37:48I will govern a country that forges many international treaties
37:52I believe this is the way of the future
37:54Interconnectedness
37:57A web of alliances
37:58Free trade
37:59Free movement of people
38:01No one will go to war
38:03Because everyone will suffer in war equally
38:05I knew it, Antoine
38:07You truly are a visionary, Your Majesty
38:10A seer
38:11And is it not time to begin?
38:14All it requires is a gesture
38:15Something that shows the people you're not afraid of the new religion
38:18Something that shows Queen Elizabeth you're not afraid
38:21Something that only the king can do
38:23What is it you have in mind?
38:25Perhaps the king could attend a Protestant service with us
38:29From what I understand, there is one not far
38:31The preacher is popular
38:33A woman
38:34A woman
38:35Always plays well
38:37Word will spread
38:38The English will see your series about a post-religious France
38:41Ushering in a time for peace and prosperity
38:45Just as you said
38:47How history will remember you
38:49Really?
38:52Absolutely
38:53Then I will consider the matter
38:56I was actually quite moved by that
39:04He's a wanker, Antoine
39:06Really?
39:07Yeah, a huge wanker
39:08You must be Thomas
39:22Yes, my lady
39:24Do you have what I asked for?
39:31Is this what you're after?
39:33I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for my father being ill
39:36Your sense of duty moves me
39:38He only wrote to help me learn how to read
39:48But he writes so beautifully
39:50I couldn't bring myself to get rid of them
39:52Until now
39:54You won't let anything but happen to him, will you?
40:09Of course not
40:10I'm his mother
40:11Hello, son
40:19Thought we might have a little talk
40:22Told you, mother
40:25If you want to start a war, do it yourself
40:28Oh, I don't think it will come to that
40:29You may recognize the writing
40:34Dressed to a young man named Thomas
40:38A billman in the army
40:40Sweet boy
40:42Rather attractive
40:44In fact, I see the appeal
40:46Where did you get it?
40:59He sold it to me
41:00Along with others
41:08Quite a few others
41:09I had no idea that you wrote so well
41:13It was so heartfelt and descriptive
41:16You must have really loved him to be stupid enough to put all that down on paper
41:22I mean, a quick fuck on the field of battle
41:24When faced with imminent death
41:26Anyone can understand that
41:27But a man's profession of love for another man
41:31Your soldiers would never take orders again
41:34When your back is turned
41:35They may do worse
41:36But
41:37I don't want you to worry
41:39I will ensure your men never know of them
41:43At a price
41:46Naturally
41:50Do I need to say it?
41:56I want you to know
41:57That I don't judge your preferences
42:00In fact, I respect them
42:02Even envy them
42:04This whole reproduction thing
42:07It makes such a mess
42:08Don't you find
42:08And anyway
42:10You are my son
42:13However God made you
42:14And you will make me proud
42:17As I know
42:32Is there anything else
42:34Your Majesty?
42:36No
42:36You can go
42:38What are you looking at?
43:04I spoke to the king
43:10He knows you have his best interest at heart
43:14For years I thought I was unable to conceive
43:23Turns out that was the easy part
43:26I suppose it's possible
43:28We make too much of parenting
43:30When all is said and done
43:31We all raise ourselves, don't we?
43:36You certainly did
43:37What is it?
43:40You and Edith
43:41When I found her
43:45I was a drunk
43:46She prevented me from killing a man
43:50That tried to sell her to me
43:51The man was her father
43:55Now
43:57Now she's the closest to family I have
44:01I failed to protect my children
44:06I failed to protect your husband
44:10I do not intend to fail again
44:14If we're finished here
44:20I will leave you
44:21Well you could stay
44:24So we might be a comfort to one another
44:32See in that moment
44:42I thought I could be truly happy
44:45Checkmate
44:49You beat me
44:54You beat me
44:56Apparently your son has inherited your luck
44:58Antoine
44:59I don't believe in luck
45:01What do you believe in then?
45:05Preparation
45:06Calculation
45:07Precision attack
45:09How intriguing
45:12Do you fancy a drink?
45:19Can I?
45:20Yeah
45:20Sure there's something we can give you, isn't there, Louis?
45:24Red or white?
45:25I'm gonna get you pissed
45:26Yeah
45:27The king is here
45:30I've thought about your invitation
45:40And have decided to join my Protestant subjects in prayer tonight
45:43Wonderful news, your majesty
45:46History will remember you
45:49Perhaps
45:49But for now my mother will know nothing about it
45:51Of course
45:52Tancred, prepare our horses
45:54And when Jesus saw the crowds
46:00He went up on the mountainside and sat with them
46:03His disciples came to him
46:05He said, blessed are the poor in spirit
46:08For theirs is the kingdom of heaven
46:12Blessed are those who mourn
46:15They will be comforted
46:17Blessed are the meek
46:19For they will inherit the earth
46:22Blessed are those who hunger
46:24And thirst for righteousness
46:26They will be freed
46:28Blessed are the meek
46:30Burn it down
46:52You're fucking kidding me
46:54I'll say
46:54Blessed are the merciful
47:09For they will be shown mercy
47:11Blessed are the pure in heart
47:14For they will see God
47:16Blessed are the peacemakers
47:20For they will be called children of God
47:23What is it?
47:51It'll cost you.
47:53It's urgent.
48:00What is it?
48:01The king, your majesty.
48:19Ready my horse.
48:20He's telling me more and more about some useless information.
48:30Don't miss my imagination.
