The Spanish Princess (2019) s02e06 Episode Script

Previously on The Spanish Princess
[HENRY] My sister Mary is
now dowager Queen of France.
So now I must arrange another marriage
that cements our Anglo-French alliance.
What does my brother
say my fate should be?
[CATHERINE] Henry,
your sister writes to me.
She has married Charlie Brandon.
Damn them both to hell!
[MAGGIE] What does God want from us?
Perhaps He tests us through temptation.
[MEG] Where is Angus?
He has had Jane Stewart in
his bed there since you left.
Get out, and do not come back.
I'm your husband,
so all of this is mine.
[MAGGIE] Princess Mary wants her mother.
She is strong.
[CATHERINE] She is not a boy.
[HENRY] I'm told you
are carrying a child.
Is it mine?
[SCREAMING]
[BABY CRYING]
[CATHERINE] It is a boy.
[HENRY] I have a need for
something I cannot get.
Give me a son.
[MAN AND CHILD PLAYING]
[LAUGHTER]
[ELIZABETH] Yay!
[LAUGHS]
[LAUGHTER, PLAYING]
Is there a dragon?
[SIGHS]
Ah!
[LINA] Come away from
the window, Highness.
You will catch a chill.
- [HENRY] Take him to his mother.
- [WOMAN] Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Grace.
Cardinal Wolsey has been
speaking with your daughter.
He says she is to marry.
[MAN] Your Grace.
Henry
I am told that Wolsey
now fancies himself
of higher office than the queen,
as he informs my daughter
that she shall be wed.
The only way to rebuild my
alliance with the French
since my sister threw herself
away on Charlie Brandon
is to wed our daughter to their dauphin.
It isn't only Wolsey.
The Earl of Wiltshire also calls for it,
and he's ambassador to France.
Why would you object?
You've never shown interest
in the girl before.
I am her mother.
And Queen.
Meanwhile, I must suffer my sister
Mary and Charles Brandon out in France
and be forced to feign that I
don't want her head upon a spike.
Thank goodness you're obedient.
No one else is.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[CATHERINE] To my dearest
nephew Charles
we hear great stories of
your kingship in Spain
since my father Ferdinand's passing,
and I write in hope that I
may see you soon in person.
There is a meeting planned
between my husband
and the French in Calais.
Henry seeks a new alliance
sealed with the betrothal of
our daughter Princess Mary
to the French dauphin.
But I wonder if there is a
far more valuable alliance
to be made instead
with you, the King of Spain,
as you surely need a wife yourself,
and who could be more
fitting than my daughter?
I will take it to the Spanish
Ambassador, Highness.
Lina?
You will remain here with your
husband when we sail to France.
You cannot travel now.
Take care of him.
Thank you, Catherine.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Thomas.
- It is good to see you again.
- And you, Maggie.
[MORE] There has been
some small disturbance
over foreign tradesmen
arriving from Europe.
We've doubled the number
of soldiers on the streets
to ensure peace.
My son is one of them.
Oh, do not fear.
It will all come to nothing.
I hope not.
He's seen enough fighting.
Would you mind Princess Mary a moment?
Of course.
[MAGGIE] Your Grace.
Princess Mary has not yet been
told what's to happen to her
when she is betrothed.
I assumed you would want to tell her.
We do not know yet if she
will be matched with France.
Who an English princess marries is
not the province of a butcher's boy.
Perhaps we'll find another suitor.
[JOHN] Oi, we got our own cows, yeah?
We don't need your poxy foreign shit!
[WILTSHIRE] Beg your Grace's pardon.
The language of the docks is
too coarse for a lady's ears.
[HENRY] He's right, though.
Nothing beats English leather.
Look at this saddle
Stafford had made me for me.
This'll put Francis in his place.
Ah, word is he's too
drunk to even sit in his.
Ah, that does not bode well for
the good character of his son.
I don't know what you're
so sour-faced about, Wolsey.
I've just made you Chancellor
of England, haven't I?
God knows I couldn't stand your whining.
[WOLSEY CHUCKLES]
The Duke of Albany will be
gone for just a few weeks.
He's to visit your mean old Uncle
Henry and the King of France.
They're having a great party.
There'll be fountains running with wine,
horses wearing jewels,
and a tree laden with sugar-plum pies.
[CHUCKLES] I think Hal Stewart
might be telling you fibs.
I'm telling you, he's not.
I will be ten times my
size when you see me next.
- [MEG LAUGHS]
- Hal Stewart will act
as guardian to the
princes till I'm back.
He'll keep you safe.
Come on.
[MEG] How did you get in here?
Get out!
You're my wife, Meg,
so I have a right to be here.
Ah, so the minute that Albany is gone,
you sneak in like a thief in the night!
So what happened?
Your floozy finally saw
sense and threw you out?
The queen has said she
doesn't want you here.
- I am her husband.
- Barely.
You could hardly
consummate the marriage.
It was all bad breath,
bad poetry, and disappointment.
In the eyes of the law,
the Pope, and God Himself,
she is my wife,
and she belongs to me until she dies.
Or you do.
Because if you come anywhere
near my bed with that thing,
one of us will surely die.
You from a stabbing or me from laughter.
Well, if I were you,
I wouldn't want to be here
when a woman makes that kind of promise.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Hal, take Jamie and
Alexander back to the castle.
James's other children
will be safe here.
I have business to attend
to with the Earl of Angus.
And I need to write
a letter to my brother.
[ANGUS] You think he'll help you?
He wouldn't even help us
when we were trapped
in that cellar for three weeks.
If Englishmen hear tales
of this extravagance
when many struggle to find work
They would kneel at the
greatness of their king
and be obedient.
[CHUCKLES]
Brother. Catherine.
Mary.
Oh, it warms my heart to see you.
Your Grace.
[MARY] Will you not embrace me, brother?
We have paid the fines you ask of us.
We beg your good opinion.
- Henry
- You betrayed me.
Be thankful you won't hang for treason.
Now our daughter must be
prepared to meet King Francis.
The king will come round.
I will make sure of it.
[MARY] Her fate is all
my doing, isn't it?
Because I married Charlie,
she must be the
sacrificial lamb for France.
A Mary for a Mary.
Not if I have any say in it.
Mary.
Greet your lady mother.
She addresses you.
Marriage is the duty of a princess.
And I will be here to help you.
I have told her that
it will not happen yet.
It will be many years
before she lives in France.
So you must not be afraid.
I'm not afraid.
[CHUCKLES]
Good.
That's good, Mary.
[SPANISH HERALD] His Highness,
Charles V, King of Spain!
I must find Henry.
[WOMAN] Come along, Mary.
[FANFARE PLAYING]
[CATHERINE] You remember His Majesty,
Charles V, my nephew.
My lady aunt.
- It has been too many years.
- Mm.
Your Grace, King Henry.
I wasn't expecting to see you here.
Ah, well, it's a meeting
of great kings of Europe.
It's a chance to see my lady
aunt and to meet with you.
Hmm. Well, Ferdinand made many errors,
which are left to you to right.
I have heard many
stories of your prowess
When you beat the French and
won a great victory for England.
A shame to let it go to waste,
when an alliance between Spain
and England makes us strong.
His name is Guerrero.
"Warrior."
He's yours.
He's a token of our nations' friendship.
Please.
He is trained the way my mother's was
To kill a man with a single kick.
[HENRY] Thank you.
I accept your gift.
[WHISPERING] Why
do you call him "Majesty"?
It is his favored title.
[JOHN] The king should protect us,
but Englishmen go hungry
while foreigners grow fat.
King Henry
Ha! King Henry does nothing,
'cause he's too busy
feasting off of golden plates
- in France until he's sick.
- [CROWD CLAMORS]
Foreigners take our work
and destroy our livelihoods
with their cheap foreign wares.
I call on Englishmen to
cherish and defend themselves.
Let's hurt and grieve these
aliens for the common good.
Let's drive 'em out!
- Who's with me?
- [CROWD CHEERS]
Come. Come, let's go home.
[OVIEDO] I know there is unrest, Lina.
But Londoners have never been this way.
Merchants cannot match the
price of foreign goods.
Apprentices are out of work.
Men whose children have an empty
belly will find common cause.
What should we do?
I'm appointed to the Royal
Guard to keep the peace.
I will keep you safe.
[FANFARE PLAYS]
[DRUM BEATING]
[WOLSEY] Ah, a magnificent sight
Two kings meeting for the first time.
[MUSIC STOPS]
Brother France.
Brother England.
Although, I hear that we are triplets,
and Brother Spain is also at our party.
Well
a little healthy competition
never hurt a powerful man.
[WARM MUSIC]
I hear the dauphin is
a most handsome infant.
Then why hasn't Francis
brought him to the summit?
Perhaps he is sickly.
Indeed, we know that newborn boys
- are often weaker than girls.
- Hmm.
He'll need to be strong if
he's to wed my daughter.
The strongest choice would
be King Charles of Spain.
20 years old and all the riches
of the New World at his feet.
[FANFARE PLAYS]
The Princess Mary of England.
[WHISPERING] All shall be well.
Handsome girl,
though stubborn as a mule.
[WHISPERING] Better
that than a dull object
- with an empty head.
- [CHUCKLES]
Then we'll make terms.
No.
- We will see the dauphin first
- She is pale, though.
How is her health?
She's sturdy.
For her marriage portion,
the girl would come with
substantial lands and properties.
It is the dauphin's health
we would like to know about.
My son could eat your
stallion in a single meal.
There is no doubt about his strength.
This is the figure we
require for Mary's dowry.
In gold ducats.
[HENRY SCOFFS]
You are surely jesting.
Your father, Louis, was paid
barely half that to marry my sister.
Your sister was a true princess.
So is Mary.
Your wife was married to
your brother, was she not?
The Pope was asked if
you could even marry
If it could be lawful
in the eyes of God.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Your Grace.
How dare you insult
the Queen of England?
Come outside.
Avec grand plaisir.
I will gladly do so.
Your Grace.
[MAGGIE] It will all be over soon,
and then we will sail home, I promise.
[APPLAUSE]
[CROWD CHATTERING]
Ow.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
[HENRY] Ha!
[CHEERING]
[FRANCIS] Do you yield?
Huh?
I said, "Do you yield?"
I yield!
- [FRANCIS CHUCKLES]
- [HENRY EXHALES SHARPLY]
[APPLAUSE]
[BOOING]
[FRANCIS LAUGHS]
Whoo!
Bravely fought, Brother England.
[SPITS]
You're lucky I don't run you through.
Oh, ce n'est qu'un sport.
- Henry
- He maligned the legitimacy
of our daughter and the
validity of our marriage.
Mary has the purest
bloodline of all Europe.
And this lecher thinks
he can haggle over her
like so much horseflesh?
[LAUGHTER OUTSIDE]
[MAN] This ain't your home.
[MEN LAUGHING]
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]
[LINA] We are being threatened.
A gallows drawn in pig's blood.
Was it them?
I don't
Go inside.
Curfews have been put in place.
I am on duty, on patrol.
You will not be here at night?
We will be here alone?
None shall come to any harm.
[ROSA] Catherine?
Highness! [LAUGHING]
Rosa!
It is so wonderful to see you again.
I can't believe it's really you.
How are you here?
We are with the Spanish court.
My husband is a navigator.
You didn't get my letters?
I
I didn't read them all.
It was [SNIFFLES]
It has been painful.
I know.
I'm sorry.
Lina wrote to me.
But now you have a daughter.
Mine are Magdalena, Cristina, and Lucia.
[CHUCKLES]
Where is Princess Mary?
I've longed to meet her.
Ah, she is with Lady Pole.
Wolsey seeks to wed her to the dauphin.
I would sooner see her married
to Charles, the King of Spain.
But she's only six years old.
How is Lina? Is she here?
No. She is with child again.
[CHUCKLES]
She has two boys already.
I'm sorry, Rosa.
I must go.
May we speak more later?
Yes, dear Catherine.
We must speak further.
We must.
[CHILD] Mama!
[GASPS] Hello.
[MAN SPEAKING SPANISH]
[ROSA SPEAKS SPANISH]
[CATHERINE] Henry.
Let me see.
[SIGHS]
We cannot wed Mary to his son.
He insulted both of us.
We must consider Charles for her.
I have defended your honor, Catherine.
Be satisfied with that.
[SCOFFS, SNIFFLES]
Ah, your sister Mary
seems lit up with happiness
at her husband, Charlie.
They are blessed as we are.
Look at what God has given us.
This kingdom
and each other.
So few ever know this happiness.
Perhaps it is enough.
Perhaps God means for it to be enough.
Enough?
You mean without a son?
Why grant me all this
power and fortune
if not to build a dynasty?
God tests me more than
others because I am the king.
And I shall pass His test.
I've received a letter from Meg.
[MEG] Dear brother
I have sad news to share.
[SNORES]
[MEG] I think that I've lost my mind.
[LAUGHING]
I fear this malady has
afflicted me a long time
since before I married Angus.
Indeed, I believe it is the cause
of that unfortunate match.
Since the law tells us
that a marriage cannot
be considered valid
if one party was insane at the time,
my marriage should be
annulled as soon as possible.
Please write to the Pope
and bid him do so swiftly.
She cannot just discard a man
whom God has joined her to.
[HENRY] We must
attend the entertainment.
[CATHERINE SIGHS]
[TAPPING ON TABLE]
"Hence, heart,
with her that must depart."
"And hald thee with thy sovereign.
"For I had never want nae heart,
nor have the heart that does me pain"
What are you doing?
Everything in this
house belongs to me
No, you will not touch a single thing.
And I shall take it.
You'll find in law that it is mine.
You can't do that.
Oh, I can
[MEG] Angus!
And will.
[LIGHT MUSIC PLAYING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[HENRY] What does he say to them?
Does he speak against me?
No.
No, he misses you.
He hopes to be your friend again.
Well, he shouldn't have lied to me.
He said that he was true,
and he was not.
In truth, I blame Mary more.
Men are weak,
easily beguiled.
[CATHERINE] Albany.
I would have you speak
with Henry's sister Meg.
I know that she is
unhappy up in Scotland,
but there is nothing that
the king can do,
and she must make the best of it.
I don't agree.
I think if you're unhappy,
you should change it.
I took my destiny in my own hands,
and I am blessed now with a joy
that I had never known before.
You were free to marry.
But Meg has made her choice,
and she must abide by it.
Mary, my darling,
we should listen to the queen.
Meg has consulted law books
and learned there may be
grounds for an annulment.
There are not.
And the Douglases are useful to the king
because they are pro-English,
so he cannot make a stand against them
in some harebrained quest against Angus.
Please ensure she knows this.
[SIGHS]
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
[CLAMORING OUTSIDE]
- [DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
- Lina, quickly, bring the boys.
- What is it?
- The curfews have been broken.
I will take you to the
palace where it is safe.
- [OVIEDO] Come on. Come on.
- [CLAMORING CONTINUES]
[SPEAKING SPANISH] Come on, come on.
Move away.
[MAN] All right, lads, let's have it.
[SOLDIER] Drop that club!
[OVIEDO] Come on. Come with me.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
- [HORSE WHINNIES]
- [MAN] Get back here!
By order of the king!
Bessie's house is
closer than the palace.
There will be guards there for her son.
[ROSA] My dear Catherine,
such pain.
I see that plainly.
Henry has a healthy boy
with my own lady, Bessie.
All my efforts have been in vain.
I am sorry.
But
he is still kind to you?
The king?
He has
changed.
He is disappointed.
It is not his fault.
I have given him nothing.
No.
Forgive me, but this is not true.
And you hurt your own
heart without cause.
You have given the king a strong,
intelligent daughter.
- What use is that?
- Catherine.
Your mother is Queen
Isabella of Castile.
Your daughter is from a
line of warrior queens.
Forget about some milksop English boy.
Mary is your heir, your legacy.
She will be the one to rule
and follow you in greatness.
But she needs her
mother's love to do that.
I did not expect to see him.
What happened to his eye?
- He lost it in a joust.
- Oh.
I should've told you he was here.
I'm sorry.
Rosa.
[MUSIC STOPS, APPLAUSE]
You look well.
You look beautiful.
Like a
peach.
No. A
- [ROSA LAUGHS]
- Sorry. [CHUCKLES]
I am well. Thank you.
Are you happy?
More than I ever
thought it possible to be.
I think about you so often.
What might have been.
You should not regret.
Our choices take us
where we're meant to be.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
[EXHALES DEEPLY] My husband, Alvaro.
I hope you may find peace, Edward.
- Ah
- Oh, for the love of God, Wolsey,
get away from me.
[CHARLES] Ah.
The man they call the "Alter Rex."
[WOLSEY] Uh, you are mistaken.
No no one calls me that.
[CHARLES] Yes, I have heard it.
The "other king."
Well, uh, that is what is said.
[HENRY CHUCKLES]
It's very droll.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
It's like a play written for
"Twelfth Night,"
where-where a stupid mummer
thinks he should be king.
[LAUGHS]
[BESSIE] Lina. Oviedo. Come in.
I'm sorry to bother you in
the middle of the night.
[BESSIE] Are you all safe?
We heard the fights break out.
You must've been afraid.
[OVIEDO] We will not
burden you for long.
[BESSIE] I suppose it was bound
to happen sooner or later.
When men are starving and out of work,
unrest will surely follow.
Not in England.
It is not the way of honest
working men who know God's order.
It's the incomers who have done this.
Incomers are the
victims of the violence.
[SCOFFS] Well, they take
the work of the Englishmen,
and this is what results.
The Tudors do not brook rebellion.
Some heads on Tower Bridge will soon
remind people of the proper order here.
[CHUCKLES]
I must go to assist the Sheriff's men.
Lina.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
[MAN] The king calls us
to leave for England!
[BRANDON] Your Grace.
I heard about the rioting in London
and that you must return immediately.
Maybe I should raise the price of ale.
That might stop them.
Not all young men can drink
like we used to, eh, Charlie?
Still be up at dawn to hunt.
[CHUCKLES]
Those were the days.
I'm told that you paid your fines.
Mm.
You are pardoned.
You may return to England with us,
you and Mary, if you wish.
Thank you, Henry.
God bless you.
[MAGGIE] Catherine.
Princess Mary is ready to leave.
What has he decided?
Who will she marry?
He is weighing up the merits of
the dauphin, my nephew Charles
or if he trusts me or Wolsey more.
[ROSA] Catherine.
Highness, you are leaving?
[SNIFFLES]
It was wonderful to see you,
Rosa, and so happy.
You deserve it all.
The secret to happiness
is to value what you have,
not yearn for what you do not.
Love your daughter
and your God.
Hold on to them.
They are what matter.
They are what will endure.
[CATHERINE LAUGHS]
I want you to have this.
You need it more than I do now.
Find your way back to her
to your daughter and to yourself.
[SNIFFLES]
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
[SIGHS]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Mary?
Come sit with me.
Let's watch the waves.
[MAN LAUGHS]
[CHATTER CONTINUES]
[LAUGHTER]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER, LAUGHTER]
Henry, I would like
to educate our daughter.
Educate her?
Not just in needlework and music
but philosophy,
languages, affairs of state.
She will be educated as a boy would be,
and I will oversee it.
For what reason?
She will be a queen one day
and must learn how to rule.
Once her betrothal is decided,
you may teach the girl
anything you wish.
Thank you, Henry.
You are a good man.
[LAUGHTER]
[MARY] Pretty girl.
[LAUGHTER]
[MARY BRANDON] Oh,
Mary, that's wonderful.
What causes so much merriment?
Mary is an uncanny
mimic of King Francis.
May I hear it, Mary?
Reggie was the same with me.
He was away for so long,
he did not know a mother's love.
He would not speak to me either.
But it is not too late if
you work hard with her.
- She just needs time.
- I will give it to her.
I will be worthy of her.
Your Grace,
we will reach England by nightfall.
Thank you, Lord Stafford.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[PEOPLE SHOUTING]
[PEOPLE CLAMORING]
[OVIEDO] Enough of this!
Enough.
Go home.
Do not draw your arms at me.
Go home, and there will be no charge.
[HENRY POLE] Arrest them!
I want all these men in chains!
Kill the dogs!
They dare to go against the king.
Kill them all!
Henry, no! He's unarmed!
[MAN GURGLES, GRUNTS]
[PEOPLE CLAMORING]
[BESSIE] Lina.
[OVIEDO] He's gone.
[LINA] We are not safe here.
We should go to the palace.
I tried to stop them.
I saw it.
I saw what Henry Pole did.
[BESSIE] They rise against the king,
they get whatever fate his men decide.
You are not the same as Pole.
You must not think you are.
I see the rioters and the immigrants
poor men alike, but they fight
and blame each other.
When, in truth,
it is the king who is the cause
of all their suffering,
with his endless taxes.
Don't say such things.
Not even to me.
[MAN SHOUTING]
[PEOPLE CLAMORING]
[GLASS SHATTERING]
[HENRY] How do we get through?
For the love of God, Stafford,
protect my daughter and the queen.
[MEN GRUNTING, SHOUTING]
[SWORDS CLASH, MAN GRUNTS]
Mary, I'm just
Mary?
No. Where-w-where is she?
- Mary!
- Stay on your horse, Your Grace.
I will find her.
- [CATHERINE] Mary?
- Mary? Princess Mary?
[GRUNTING]
Mary! Mary!
- Ah. Mary!
- [WOMAN SCREAMS]
- Mary!
- [MAN SCREAMS]
- [CATHERINE PANTING]
- [MAN SHOUTS]
Ah! Mary! Mary!
Mary!
Mary! Mary!
Ah, ah!
- Mary!
- [HORSE WHINNIES]
Mary. Mary!
Ah! Mary.
Mary!
[INTENSE MUSIC]
[GIRL] Mother!
Mary! Give her to me!
Give-give her to me!
Mary.
[DISTANT CLAMORING]
Stafford's found her!
Stafford's found her!
Highness.
Are you hurt?
[CATHERINE SIGHS]
We were caught in it.
I lost Mary.
I thought I was being punished.
You-you and your child?
We are well.
The boys and Oviedo, too.
- Good.
- But, Highness
some of the royal soldiers
Uh, take Mary.
Henry.
- I am worried for our daughter.
- The world's gone mad.
First, treason in the city,
and now my sister writes another letter
trying to shame me
to all of Christendom.
She even tries to resurrect
the dead Scots king.
[MEG] Dear brother,
I write to you in desperation.
I have learned my husband, James IV,
did not die at Flodden
but escaped and lives!
This means my marriage to the
Earl of Angus is unlawful.
I have checked this in the law books.
Please appeal to the Pope on my behalf.
He must annul my marriage.
[CATHERINE PRAYING QUIETLY,
BELL TOLLING]
Bless me, Lord.
I am a sinner.
Grant me Your forgiveness,
and help me know what
you would have me do.
[PRAYING QUIETLY]
[CATHERINE] To my dearest sister Meg,
I bid you, please, desist your letters
and this blasphemous
assault on marriage.
I have supported you and your
regency in every way I can.
But you must accept your marriage
has been made in God's eyes
and the law's,
and you shame yourself
in trying to revoke it.
Make your peace with Angus.
Be a good wife to him.
[SIGHS]
Rosa she was well?
And happy?
Did you speak to her?
I did.
Mary, I want to talk to
you about the shouting
and the people who were
hurt out in the streets.
I know you must have been afraid,
but you were very brave.
Perhaps tomorrow we could walk together.
Out in the gardens?
The bad men will be hanged.
What?
My father cuts their heads off.
[MORE] "John Wright,
inciting violence on the street.
"Richard Fletcher, inciting to riot.
"Henry Swift,
assaulting the king's soldiers.
Mark Littleton, destroying"
Henry, I must speak with you about Mary.
[MORE] "Destroying a wool
merchant's property.
"John Lincoln,
assaulting the king's soldiers,
inciting violence."
These are the ring leaders that my men
apprehended, Your Grace.
[WOLSEY] They rose
against the king's peace.
They are rebels. They must pay.
Henry, you must show them mercy.
They are your subjects.
They did not rise up against you.
They are simply hungry
and can find no work.
- You saw the chaos in the streets.
- Yeah.
And London's children all saw bloodshed.
Mary among them.
She is disturbed by it.
Please
spare them from further pain.
Save their innocence.
Do not have their fathers'
blood on your hands.
They will hang.
Wolsey, make arrangements.
I serve the king's wish.
[MEG] "Be a good wife.
Make your peace."
We have no horses.
He has taken them.
So we will walk.
[BELL TOLLS, BIRD CAWS]
[OVIEDO] Your Grace,
these men do not deserve to die.
They are starving. They have nothing.
The worst assaults came
from the royal soldiers.
I have tried, but I will try again.
- [CATHERINE EXHALES SHAKILY]
- Your Grace?
[CATHERINE SIGHS]
[CHOIR SINGING]
Henry, please.
I beg you to reconsider.
I've said I will not.
The condemned have been found
guilty of attacks on foreign persons
and breaking the king's peace.
Do you have any final words?
- Mercy, please.
- Have mercy.
[MAN] Mercy, my Lord!
Hang them.
- Henry
- They can die without me watching them.
Henry.
Henry.
Henry, I beg you to reconsider.
What they did was wrong,
but they were starving.
They will bend to my will,
and so will you.
The whole of England bows
to your will, Your Grace.
Catherine, go to Mary and
tell her she will be queen.
Queen of Spain, as her grandmother was.
You will marry her to Charles?
Thank you, Henry.
Thank you for our daughter's sake.
And let me never hear the title
"Alter Rex" again.
Your Grace, I beg forgiveness
My title is Your Majesty.
Remember it.
Your Majesty
please spare these men.
I am
I am with child again.
Please spare them for his sake.
[GENTLE MUSIC]
It's one final chance.
Grant them mercy.
Thank you.
[MORE] "John Wright,
inciting violence in the street.
"William Smith,
theft of a merchant's property.
"John Lincoln,
assaulting the king's soldiers,
"inciting violence.
May God have mercy on their souls."
[CATHERINE] Stop! Stop!
His Majesty the king has pardoned them.
They may go free.
- God save the king.
- God save the king!
God save King Henry!
[ALL] God save the king!
God save the king!
God save the king!
God save the king!
God save the king!
God save the king!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
We went hunting, lady mother.
Mm, did you?
So you have not missed
your poor mother at all?
Albany arrived this morning.
We were gonna ride down to see you.
Angus is gone.
He has taken everything I own.
Everything that is theirs, too.
And my brother will not help me,
and Catherine bids me to
"keep the peace" and "be a good wife."
But I will not.
He goes too far this time.
So help me.
I know your family has
connections with the Pope.
Petition him on my behalf.
Put to him my case for an annulment.
I have researched it all in law.
I know I have grounds.
It would be the first
time he's agreed to it.
Your chances are not high.
But make my case to him.
Beseech him
because I will find a way to
rid myself of that Douglas demon
if it is the last thing I ever do.
And none, including Henry and his queen,
shall stop me.
