Episode 11

Your Highness.

Food, your favorite.

I have no appetite.

Maybe you don't, but I'm sure the baby growing in you has.

You've lost a lot of weight.

Castilian food is rough.

My taste is made around Flanders.

We only want what's best for you and your son.

You say that honestly?

Of course.

Would you do anything for my welfare?

Go to France.

Follow Philip's steps, and send me daily letters telling me what he says and does.

- But my lady... - If you do that for me...

I will eat, and I will leave my bed as the doctors want.

I'll give you jewels, yes!

Because I have magnificent jewels! As you've never seen before!

Your Highness, I'm afraid I can't do that.

How could I leave you

and go to France to be your husband's shadow?

As soon as you have your child

you can go with the Prince.

- You only need to wait. - If you don't obey me...

I will cut my stomach open with a knife and I will blame you.

You would be hanged shortly after.

Gonzalo is still blocked in Barletta.

If peace is made soon, it will be victory.

That's why we sent Philip to France.

So he makes it.

A risky designation for such an important task.

I need to be honest, Your Majesty.

We were all surprised by your choice.

Do you trust on him up to that point?

You think I'm foolish.

Philip has traveled to France thinking. he has powers to sign a peace treaty.

And isn't it that way?

He can only negotiate, but he will ignore it.

He'll act with pride, thinking he is King.

So he will demonstrate to which interest is he loyal.

The move isn't less risky if the goal is to make peace.

Or maybe he will surprise us

by getting an agreement favorable to our side.

And if he doesn't, what he signs will be worth nothing.

It will be just another proof of his disloyalty.

While they negotiate in France, they give us time to gather money ancMroops.

And to organize a counter-offensive.

He'll serve us a lot.

So Aragon hasn't given the war up.

Never.

It's such a pleasure to stretch one's legs from time to time.

Hopefully, we'll get to the French court by tonight.

The long journey fitted me well.

I had a lot to think about how to act during the negotiations with the King.

What have you decided?

I will not pass through this without benefits.

And to do so, I'll keep myself aside from both contenders.

I shall not be France's vassal, not deeply faithful to Aragon.

But you represent Ferdinand.

Are you planning to squander the trust His Majesty gave you?

All the opposite.

I'm planning to take advantage of it as much as I can.

Your Highness, you have a great opportunity in this mission

to win the King's good will, get a good agreement.

He'll give you gifts and privileg

I'm already his heir, that's the best I can get from him.

If you offend Ferdinand, he'll never forgive you.

Unfortunately for him, he can't avoid Juana reigning Castile...

nor that I rule.

The Crown is assured.

And if it's in my reach...

why not to take advantage of the meeting with King Louis to earn more greatness?

Here comes Fuensalida.

Sadly, the English Channel has been benevolent to him.

It's a pity. Keep him aside.

Don't let him interfere in my plans.

All meetings with Felipe of Habsburg have started with a good wine...

- and ended with great success. - You look confident.

What else could I ask for?

Aragon sends my most faithful ally to negotiate peace.

Ferdinand is not that prone to give such concessions.

It's suspicious that he wants to give that to Philip.

Do you think it's a strategy to distract us?

Or maybe Philip and the King built up confidence

in the time they spent together.

Philip will cede before me.

As he uses to.

You express with excessive confidence

that he may be more interested in defending Castile and Aragon.

He shouldn't.

A Duke of Burgundy has never been crowned before.

And Philip is closer than ever to the throne.

Isabel's health has already given proofs of decline.

And he could dominate Juana to his will.

If he sees himself as the King of Spain...

He would act like him.

We'll see.

She said she would cut her womb open if I didn't obey her.

And that she would blame me for it.

Do you think Juana is capable of doing such a thing?

What are you hiding?

Tell me!

It's not the first incident of this kind.

Many maids have suffered her...

- Unhealthy rage. - And why haven't I been informed?

We didn't want to worry you, you're recovering from illness.

Don't protect me from truth ever again.

Juana is the heiress.

Her miseries are affairs of the state

and I should know them as the Queen.

His Highness Don Philip of Habsburg, Duke of Burgundy...

Prince of Asturias, and Prince of Girona.

We welcome you, Your Highness.

Your Majesty, I thank you for your cordiality.

Even more, as I don't come here as your servant.

Even though we're rivals today

our bond will ease the debate

and will bring us a quick solution, don't you think so?

Everyone knows about my affair with France.

But my marriage now, Your Majesty...

is with the Spaniards.

And I need to defend their interests with fervor.

Magnificent wine, as always.

Burgundy?

I'm sorry about what I did.

I've followed the doctors' advice

of getting out of bed and...

And to walk around the Palace to calm down my spirit.

Promise me that you won't behave that way again.

Where is that rage arising from?

From my loneliness.

The further away Philip is, the greater are my worries.

I know you fear what he might do in your absence.

But maybe what you imagine and worries you so much won't happen.

And if it does?

It's rare for any husband not to fall to sin.

I recommend you to understand that, as I've done with your father.

His missteps haven't stopped a happy marriage.

Enjoy that which Philip gives you and accept his faults with resignation.

His treason tears my apart, but...

That it's not what destroys my mind.

So what is it then?

His absence.

When he's not by my side...

I lose color...

My hands tremble.

I'm nothing.

Now I know my life wasn't life until I met him.

If I lost him, death would be a better relief than his absence.

I understand what you feel.

But you must take your separation with more serenity.

- You love him, that's all. - No.

What others call love is a shadow compared to what I feel.

I've never been very devoted, Mother, and now I know why.

My soul was waiting for Philip.

He's God to me.

- You're blaspheming. - He gives sense to my days.

He guides and fills me.

I give and subdue myself to him like you do with God.

There, I find my happiness.

But...

I feel only disgrace when they separate me from the one I adore the most.

Prince of Asturias and Girona.

You're right, Philip came dressed up as a Spaniard.

Busleyden was our best advisor.

Now that he's dead, Philip has lost his trust in France.

That miserable reptile.

Your Majesty, we're winning the war with such authority

that peace conditions should benefit us, whether they like it or not.

A favorable agreement isn't enough for me anymore.

Let's take the moment to unbound Philip from the Catholic Monarchs.

Between them both, they surround our kingdom.

Their alliance is a threat for France.

And how do you plan to break that bound?

I've talked to the doctors.

They say melancholy and uneasy spirit is something of pregnant women.

As soon as she gives birth, Juana will be the same.

She only thinks of being together with Philip.

That's impossible.

It's all our fault.

What are you talking about?

We married her to Philip.

We condemned her to that sick love that dominates her.

- It's only love. - It's an enchantment.

Philip has possessed her spirit.

Since they got separated, Juana has lost her mind.

May God forgive me.

But I've desired his death.

That He takes him to His side and finally frees my daughter.

Listen to the doctors, her grief will fade soon.

And if not?

And if we're losing her as I lost my mother?

As the victorious side, I give myself the right to offer the conditions.

It's too soon to declare victory.

The war hasn't come to an end yet.

If the conflict takes any longer

it will only turn out to be a disaster for the Aragonese.

You're more interested in peace than France is.

Give your conditions, and I'll decide if they are worth it.

The kingdom of Naples will be entirely under French's control.

Besides that, we demand economic compensations for the conflict

because your people violated what we agreed upon in Granada.

Unacceptable.

Each kingdom will assume his losses.

And Aragon will keep control of the cities in the South of Italy.

- What are you saying? - We won't accept less.

It's true there are other ways to achieve peace.

More generous, I hope.

The treaty of Granada was broken.

Why should we respect the consequences?

The Crown of Naples won't be for me or for Ferdinand.

It would be for your children.

Let's retake our desire of marrying your heir, Charles, with my daughter, Claudia.

And they'll reign over Naples when they are of age.

And until that day?

France will administer the Northern part and you the Southern part.

Due to the age of our children, your reign will last more than a decade.

And how does that benefit Aragon's interests?

Isn't the archduke Prince of Girona?

Besides, Charles is Ferdinand's grandson.

In the end, Naples will be ruled by one of its own.

So?

Do you think these conditions are acceptable?

- There won't be a better deal. - Will you accept it just like that?

- Of course! - It only benefits France and your person.

- What's left for Aragon? - Peace!

So needed by your troops.

The benefits I may get are my fair reward for achieving it.

Ferdinand would never accept it.

- It's an insulting capitulation. - Lower your voice. I beg you.

- No one would say we're the same side. - You be quiet.

Let me do everything possible to avoid this humiliation.

My father-in-law should feel humiliated.

He has tried to obtain Naples for years on the battlefield.

And I got it in a single afternoon.

Sitting at a table.

I'll administer a kingdom while I secure the French throne for my son.

It would be worth to tolerate your king's harangues.

Juana.

Juana!

I hope this agreement doesn't cause you trouble with Ferdinand.

I'm his heir.

The past is his.

My choices are the decisions of the future.

Are you going to Flanders?

How long have you been away from your home?

Two years.

And I couldn't find a better way to return.

They'll welcome you as a hero.

May the future bring fortune to you.

And to our children.

May that be.

Ferdinand thinks he's clever

and he's dumb enough to name a traitor as his heir.

It's hard to believe such a stupidity.

Philip and he won't take long to fight due to this agreement.

That's exactly'.what we need.

Maybe he'll think of taking away his succession.

What other options does he have?

Philip and Juana are the heir apparents as proclaimed in courts

to his dislike or not.

And when Philip reigns

the King of Spain will be a servant of France.

Get out!

Get out!

He's a healthy, precious boy.

Your Majesty.

I'm sorry to say that I was witness of an unbearable insult at France.

Read the Prince's agreement.

With all due respect, why did you think ozf

putting such responsibility on Philip?

I had sign my death sentence before.

This document is worth nothing without the king's approval.

Was your signature necessary?

Neither King Louis nor the Prince think that way.

I only gave Philip powers to negotiate.

I wanted to prove his disloyalty.

If I had known it was a trap, I would've even enjoyed it.

Enjoy at least the good news, we just defeated the French at Seminara.

While we're insulted in the Palaces...

Our soldiers are winning this war.

More troops are going to Naples.

The offensive won't stop.

We'll get back the lands we lost.

And the Archduke? Won't he receive any punishment for his disloyalty?

Of course he will.

The most painful for his ambitions.

We'll get him out from Castile's government as much as we can.

And that means to cut him out completely.

My daughter is the Princess of Asturias.

And she will stay here.

You sent him to prove his loyalty?

And he just proved his vileness.

He signed in favor of France and in his own.

We can only count on Juana.

She'll stay here until she is convinced that it's her and only her

who is destined to rule in Castile and Aragon.

- Philip will claim her back. - He can claim as much as he wants.

Juana will stay in Castile until she is able to assume the reign's governments.

- Her condition will take some time. - She gave birth already.

Now she must calm down and accept her duties.

Will you test her as well?

Isabel.

We urgently need to know if our daughter

is worthy of your succession.

How is it possible that there's still being a lack of wheat in Valencia?

Didn't I order to supply it to them?

It seems the grain got lost on its way.

And prices keep going up.

Someone must be keeping the shipments to get rich.

That's what we suspect

But the populace is hungry.

They demand more shipments immediately.

What would you do, Juana?

Would you investigate the middlemen or would you send more grain?

I had my child already.

When can I go back to Flanders?

Is that your answer?

The council is suspended, get out.

Don't you care about anything in your kingdoms?

They're still yours! My place is in Flanders!

Assume all the duties that will be yours someday.

That's why you're here.

You won't leave Castile until you understand you're the only heiress.

Because your husband is a traitor and will never rule!

How do you dare insult him?

Do you want proofs? You'll have them.

But you won't go back to Flanders.

- You're inventing infamies to stop me. - I am stopping you, yes!

Have you forgotten everything we taught you?

You must be loyal to your kingdom!

I am only loyal to my husband.

Behave like the Princess you are!

Not like a girl in love!

What do you know about love?

You have gotten in bed with so many.

You're the traitor.

If it wasn't for you, I would be in Flanders by now!

- What are you doing? - Why did you reveal the favor I asked you?

- Let me go! - You stopped me!

They won't let me go because of you!

- Leave me, leave me, please. - Leave her!

Miserable!

You wanted to kill poor Beatriz.

No one will stop me!

- I'm going to Flanders! - You won't!

- I won't allow my grandson... - My son will stay in Castile.

I don't care about him, having him has only separated me from Philip.

With the same disdain, you abandon your son and your kingdoms.

- You don't look like our daughter. - You're keeping me here,

hoping the will to reign rises in me, and that won't happen!

Do you despise your value so much?

I despise it because I don't need it!

- Only Philip! - Open your eyes!

You're lovesick.

Will a woman who's been cheated on give me love lessons?

A dumb woman who looked the other way while her husband sleeps with others?

A whore who holds her daughter back against her will?

I curse you, Mother.

And I curse the disgrace you cast over me!

I hope you burn in hell forthat.

I appreciate your visit because I require explanations.

Why is Aragon attacking Naples if a peace treaty was signed?

Did you see my King's signature

- on the agreement? - The heir, the Prince, signed it.

Did the Archduke show a document signed by the King of Aragon

that gave him the right to close the deal?

I'm afraid Don Philip had only the faculty to negotiate.

If the agreement didn't please my king, it could have been ignored.

Do you mean we agreed in vain?

Knowing your servant, the Duke of Burgundy

My Lord took some precautions.

Are you mocking the King of France?

And you're shameless enough to come and enjoy it.

No, Your Majesty. I came to negotiate.

And due to our advance in the war...

the conditions will be very different.

You made us waste our time while Aragon was winning Seminara.

I won't fall again in your disguise.

So would you like to continue with the war?

Let it continue, until the last soldier falls.

We will.

How is she?

Please, sir.

Don't make her talk.

She should make no effort.

You'll be fine.

Don't let her go.

Not yet.

Don't let her go.

First Seminara, and now Cerignola.

The Aragonese are about to enter Naples!

We're letting them win!

King Ferdinand has sent reinforcements.

And our troops are exhausted.

They'll be more with every passing day.

And more cities will fall.

Your Majesty.

Maybe it's time to accept the unacceptable.

Let's make a truce.

Our armies will regain strength.

And we could plan another strategy.

I negotiated already, and I was vilely mocked.

The Aragonese deserve nothing more than massacre.

- At the price of losing the war. - No.

There must be a way to change this.

They invaded the Roussillon!

France wants to bring the war for Naples to our borders.

They did it because they know the county is inviolable for me!

- And what will you do? - They want that.

That I relocate troops to ease Naples' front for them.

- And will you? - I'll leave Aragon with no soldiers

if I need to defend it.

That's what they'll get.

I'll take the county myself commanding my troops.

Do you think that's prudent?

But I can't leave the Queen right at this moment.

Don't feel shame to assign another general.

Everyone would understand.

Everyone, but myself.

I don't understand honor without grabbing a sword myself. You know that.

Take your time to make a decision.

Do I have it?

[Flanders.]

Just what I needed, a visit from Fuensalida.

Appear strong before him.

Pretend everything matches your desires.

You need to get over it, Your Highness.

And how could I?

My kingdoms were expecting benefits from the negotiation with France.

And now I'm despised for coming back with empty hands.

Your Highness.

You show courage by appearing in front of me.

After you hid from me that my negotiation was a disguise.

As you may understand, I owe more to my king than to you.

I have a message from him.

- Apologies? - Furious rage.

He considers your attitude highly disloyal.

You lost his confidence.

And not only his, I come from the French court.

King Louis is very disappointed of you.

He thinks you mocked him.

It was me who was mocked by your king!

If the arrangement would have been good for Aragon...

My king would've accepted it.

And you wouldn't be so alone now.

I won't permit you to talk to me in that tone.

I am the Prince of Asturias.

If you have nothing more to say..

Actually, I do.

I inform you that your wife gave birth a beautiful son.

And that she'll raise him in Castile for a long time.

I'll go to the Roussillon as it is my duty as King.

But Isabel and Juana must live apart while I'm gone.

I'll only be calmed if that happens.

It would be hard for my wife to get better with Juana by her side.

We could take Juana far away from here for some time.

So she could calm down her spirit.

A sort of a retirement.

Maybe we could get the Princess back to the mission God chose her for.

The Castle of La Mota at Medina may be good.

I agree.

But once there, keep an eye on her at every moment.

And no matter much she insists

don't let her out until I get back from the campaign.

I'll see if she's in conditions to return.

We'll do it that way, but how would Juana accept this retirement?

Wouldn't her rage grow because of this?

I'm afraid there's only one way to convince .her.

My daughter, I need to go to the Roussillon.

I wish the best for you, Father.

May God take care of you in battle.

You'll leave too. Tomorrow.

To Flanders?

You'll make a first stop in Medina del Campo.

Forgive my offenses, father.

I behaved like the worst daughter.

We need you to be the best, Juana.

Will you? Will you be able to give what we want from you?

No doubt, Father.

No doubt.

Chacon told me that you and he will take care of Juana at Medina.

We trust it will be a relief for you.

And that for some time, you only dedicate yourself to rest.

It's not possible.

Juana is only one of our problems.

The war with France doesn't stop.

It gets worse by the day.

Nothing affects me more than wars between Christian governments.

I will not stop praying for it to end soon.

There's no doubt your prayers contribute.

But... we could find another way to stop it.

Let's ask for the Pope's intervention.

The Pope has become allies with France in the last years.

I don't think that would be the best help.

This time he hasn't taken a side.

He has waited to see who's winning to get on his side.

As he used to.

And now that Naples

is almost entirely under Aragon's control, he will help us.

He'll demand to lay down the weapons if we asked him to do so.

I'll write him with that offer.

For such an important petition

we would need much more than an emissary.

We'll send Bernardo Buil.

It's an Aragonese matter, and he has Ferdinand's confidence.

Your Eminence.

Be patient with Juana.

Take care of her with love.

Guide her.

Demand fom her to fulfill her duties.

But don't get desperate.

She'll be sane again with God's help.

Your Majesty.

I would be a bad man of Church if I thought a lost soul

couldn't go back in the right path.

Inform me about everything that happens there.

Don't keep anything for fear of my disgust, I command you.

Take care.

Castile needs you now more than ever.

[Castle of La Mota, Medina del Campo.]

- Are you the sergeant of the guard? - That's right, sir.

You'll need to inform us about any strange behavior of the Princess.

Command your people to do the same.

It's a beautiful castle.

But I want nothing more

than taking a walk in those fields we just crossed by.

Would you like to come with me, Your Highness?

I'll be happy to.

It's a relief to be out from the court from time to time.

- The soul rests from so many problems. - That's right.

I used to enjoy fresh air a lot when I was a child.

I would get so mad when I had to go back inside the Palace.

Your famous character.

God didn't want me just to lay down, Your Eminence.

I would like to, because steady people live in peace.

Do you think the peace of spirit is a natural condition? No.

I know it's not that way.

Whoever suffers my outbursts suffers less than I do, having them inside.

1 trust you, but with will..

You can turn your emotions into a friend that will never betray you.

I'll find peace at Flanders with no effort at all.

Don't you ever feel angry there?

Sometimes.

An enraged soul

doesn't find peace anywhere.

Learn how to calm it down.

And you'll be joyful, it doesn't matter where or when.

Is so much happiness possible?

Even for someone like me?

I have no doubt.

I want to trust you.

The Princess's serenity surprised me.

I have seen no trace of anger in her, but only will to correct herself.

She sees close the return to Flanders.

Maybe that's her only cure.

Or maybe getting her away from the court made her spirit rest.

It's sad that mother and daughter can't be together.

How often is that disgrace.

So many loves end up in hate.

Do you believe there's still hope that she gets back her sanity then?

As much as for reigning someday.

I pray for that.

With what right

do they retain my wife and son?

They humiliate me at France as a statesman, and now as a husband.

It's evident that they want to get her away from you.

As a future husband King, you...

Demand Juana's return, you're in your right to do it.

I would obtain nothing, maybe after struggling a lot.

I need to take advantage of the only power I have left.

The only flawless one.

The one I have over Juana.

I'll write a missive for my wife.

And it won't be a regular one.

The Princesses Leonor and Isabel, my sisters

are healthy, thanks God

And they kiss a hundred times the royal hands of Your Highness.

I can't do this anymore, Mother.

I beg you as much as I can to come back.

Because the Prince, My Lord, feels very lonely without you.

I'm sorry, Your Highness, for not writing with my own hand.

Your humble and obedient son and servant...

Charles.

[Rome.]

What important topic should we talk about if your queen sends you as emissary?

What's more important than putting an end to a war that is becoming eternal?

My queen asks for your intervention to put an end to the war with France.

In the last years, I've preferred to stay aside.

I praise your prudence.

It's not good to choose the wrong side in such a complicated situation.

But there's no doubt now. Aragon is knocking at the door of victory.

What do you need me for then?

If you know you'll win.

France insists on prolonging the fight with no purpose.

If you join our side

King Louis would end up giving up.

A war so close to Rome brings no benefit to it.

And Aragon guarantees your safety over any other consideration.

Okay.

I'll give the support you need.

Tonight, I'll give you the document stating so.

And there are some things I expect to get in exchange.

Gluttony.

With no doubt, the most disgusting sin.

- Father! - Your Holiness.

Your Holiness.

Drink.

Call the doctor!

You Highness, a message for you.

- Who sends it? - It comes from Flanders.

Let's go to Laredo immediately.

I must continue my way to Flanders.

- What's the urgency for? - My son is losing his mind for my return.

He wrote me desperately.

My Lady, your son Charles is not even four years old.

I doubt it was him who wrote this letter.

What do you imply?

That your husband did.

If it's Philip who wants me back, I have more reasons to go.

That's not possible for now, the sea is unpredictable.

We're waiting for news from Laredo, when the climate is kind we'd know it.

There are terrible storms at the coasts in these moments.

To navigate will be a total imprudence.

Which I'm willing to take.

You don't want to suffer a journey like your first one. You almost died!

Would you like this haste to leave your children without their mother?

And your husband widower?

It's a terrible disgrace for Christianity.

I suffer your loss with you.

I appreciate it.

It was so sudden.

Your father's death left his last wills inconclusive.

Like that of proclaiming Rome in favor of Aragon.

In its war against France.

I'm sorry God didn't act in your favor.

Could you repair what disgrace left undone?

Are you asking me to write that document?

To falsify it and sign

in the name of a man who just gathered up with God?

I'm just asking you to continue with his will when he was alive.

It's true that it wouldn't be a laudable act.

But if that document puts and end to the conflict

God would know and forgive us.

Now, it is my will which matters.

And it's not my will to proclaim myself against King Louis.

I know about your bonds with France.

I know it from them.

Would you feel no remorse if the war continues?

- The deaths, the privations... - I beg you to leave.

Let me say goodbye to my father in peace.

Let me out! Open the gates! Open them!

What is it?

Get me out of this prison! Open the damned gates!

- Get her back to the castle. - Obey me!

I'm the Princess of Asturias.

I'll kill myself if you move me from here.

Step back.

She has clung to the gate at the entrance.

She says she won't take a single step that takes her away from Flanders.

I promised the Queen that I would let her know of any incident.

Let's try to solve this before we inform her.

And if we can't?

We would save the disgust from the woman, but from the Queen...

We need to tell her.

Get covered, for God's sake.

I know your heart yearns to go back with your husband.

You're a loving wife.

And that's worth the best praise, but...

You need to calm down, Your Highness.

Make your soul regain peace.

You're the most precious asset of the Crown.

And we all care about your welfare.

Nice words, worthy of a traitor!

You are! As everyone else!

The trip to Flanders was a trick!

This castle is my jail!

No!

It's just a place to calm down before you leave.

Why does nobody understand that what I need is to go back?

Why do you want to solve this suffering cold?

Go back to the castle, open your soul to me there.

I won't ever go back again to that jail.

I won't give a step that takes me away from my husband, not a single one.

I pray for the Holy Father's soul.

I hope he finds beside God the peace he didn't have in life.

We were all shocked by his death.

So unexpected.

So bad for our interests.

Without his intervention..

Who knows how long will this war last.

We need the Pope little, having your husband at the battlefield.

The King is winning, Your Majesty.

Did he manage to get back Roussillon?

Not only that.

He has kept on with his advance and he's conquering cities in France.

Being honest, I've raised more prayers for Ferdinand

than for that Pope, whom I never liked so much.

The end of this war is near.

Victory will be ours.

I hope this success

helps you get better.

There's no doubt it will.

Disgrace is the worst of my illness.

It's from Cisneros.

With all due respect, it's not wise to leave in your condition.

The doctor says a travel with this weather may be fatal.

I'd be deader if I stayed here knowing the trance my daughter is under.

Take this, it will fit you we».

You're very weak. I could take away that dagger with no effort.

But I won't

if your will is not to give a step that takes you away from Flanders.

The guards' room is at the same distance as your husband from this gate.

Have shelter in it.

You wouldn't cede in your quest.

And you would regain strength for your departure.

In the guards' room?

That's a minor problem right now.

A few hours more outside, and she would have succumbed.

I thank you for the good action.

Promise me you'd tell no one about what happened.

You can count on our silence.

But the tale has spread to close villages.

The neighbors heard the screams and some have got close to see her.

- Did you scare them away? - For the moment.

But they saw her.

And mocked her.

What did they say?

I feel I offended saying what they call her.

What?

The Mad.

[Roussillon.]

We'll make a truce.

Help me escape.

Mother.

You'll go back to Flanders.

It's not a trick or a distant promise.

- You'll go as soon as possible. - Thank you, Mother.

I have one condition.

You'll wait for your father, who will be back soon.

It's his desire to say goodbye to...

Yes, Mother. I'll wait for him.

Until that day, you'll go back to the Palace.

You'll drink, you'll eat.

And you'll live with the peace you've lacked until now.

Another outburst

and you won't take that ship.

My daughter.

I've always wanted the best for you.

I would do it again, even if I only receive your hate in exchange.

I've tried to fulfill my duties as Queen.

And for trying it, we've been both surrounded by death.

I won't stretch on your disgrace anymore.

This is your kingdom.

But not your place.

Now I know that.

Go.

What is the Queen doing here?

How could you let her leave the court in her condition?

It was her will, due to Juana's condition.

Hasn't this retirement calmed her down?

I come from risking my life for my kingdom.

Naples finally seems to be ours.

And this effort..

This glory we have now...

Will be someday in the hands of a traitor

and a woman who has lost her mind.

My victory turns bitter by knowing who I entrust it to.

Where is Isabel?

How are you?

Happy for your triumph.

You never fail me.

Roussillon is at peace.

You acted wisely by offering this truce.

Don't praise a decision I was forced to take.

That's true.

Your troops have dwindled, and have no energy.

Like in Naples.

Why don't we make a truce there too?

We still resist at Naples.

You're surrounded in four cities.

You thought you were going to lose the war not long ago.

What can stop France from coming back the same way?

Exhaustion. Casualties.

The weakened courage of your troops.

And the superiority of ours.

Trust me. That will make your defeat more humiliating.

And you keep on prolonging your agony.

That won't make your defeat less bitter, Your Majesty.

You're burning.

We can't let Juana leave.

- What are you saying? - I promised it, but I regret it.

I know that if she leaves, we would lose her forever.

Don't you see the illness she has brought you?

As soon as she gets to Flanders, Philip will dominate her immediately.

Juana will be a puppet in his hands.

And do you think something would change if we retain her longer?

Juana is lost, Isabel.

Don't you think there is any hope?

Do you think so?

May God forgive me, but I want nothing more than seeing her leave.

May that husband who clouds her mind tolerate her delirium.

- It breaks my heart to see her like that. - It gets me full of anger.

She has been like a poison for you. To save the heiress

we have been near of losing the Queen.

Isabel.

We need you more than her.

Mother, take care. I beg you.

You know I don't usually talk to God, but I'll pray for you with fervor.

Have a nice journey, my daughter.

I hope you have a calm journey.

I'm glad I waited for you. I couldn't leave without saying goodbye.

We'll take care of little Ferdinand as if he was our own child.

In the future, he won't be a worry for you and your husband.

- As he hasn't meant to be until now. - I thank you.

I must go.
