Previously on "Reign"...
Her majesty marie de guise.

Mother.

Marie:
You need France.

Marry its next king
and the protestants

Will scurry into
the darkness.

I saw a woman,
dressed all in white.

She brought me
back to life.

Whatever your grudge
is against bash...

He maimed our brother
and caused his death!

You won't settle it
by ruining his marriage.

Did you poison my father?

It wasn't them.

It was the duke of guise.

Your uncle

Will never betray anyone again.

And so we mourn my brother.

A man who always put
his country first.

Whenever it was
profitable.

And who always
understood his duty.

To himself.

And now, bishop marcombe

Will say a special prayer.

Marcombe:
My lords and ladies, please

Bow your heads in prayer

For our brother who has left...

What beautiful sentiments.

Don't bother.

I know you're as glad to see

The back of him as any of us.

Thank you, by the way,

For keeping his
treachery a secret.

I know that look.

You think I look at
every woman with an aim

Toward getting them in bed.

Oh, it's not the pining look

You get before you
begin an assault.

It's the possessive
look of a man

Who's already
achieved something.

If you're under the
delusion that I've slept...

Ah!

I have my answer.

No sex, but you've
begun turning her heart.

Even better.

And to think
I was giving a party

To improve
valois/bourbon relations.

You're already doing that.

While no man is without sin,
we ask that...

Francis thought
you might object

To our filling
your brother full of arrows.

You knew better, I trust.

It's the one thing all
rulers have in common.

We must stamp out whoever

Would undermine the monarchy.

Nothing can be
allowed to discredit

The lawful cycle of
rule and succession.

Which reminds me.

Daughter?

We need to have a talk.

I was looking for you at
the duke's memorial service.

I have news.

The duke and duchess

Von amsberg are in town nearby.

They're of a wealthy, powerful
branch of the hapsburgs.

Well, I've heard
of them, of course.

They have agreed
to an engagement

Between their infant daughter
and our son.

"an engagement"?

I know that you've been worried
about what john's fate would be

If anything happened to me.

Oh, a safe haven for our child.

More than that.

The hapsburgs are
one of the most

Powerful families in europe.

An excellent
alliance for France.

And john's future is assured.

That's wonderful, francis.

There's one catch.

The duke and duchess
want to meet you.

You mean they want
to pass judgment on me.

What if I don't measure up?

Oh, it's just a formality.

Tomorrow night king
antoine is holding

A gathering to celebrate

Between France and navarre.

I suggested we all meet there.

Just be yourself.

You would impress anyone.

Lady kenna?

Already the room looks brighter.

I can't stay.

I just came to return this.

What's this?

The ruby I found in the
strawberry you left me.

You have something
against gifts?

It's not a gift.

It's an invitation.

One that I can't accept.

I've told you.

I love my husband.

And this flirtation
of yours must stop.

Lovely kenna?

I will respect your wishes,
and stop laying my heart

So inconveniently at your feet.

I mean it.
So do I.

By the way, how do you
like my preparations

For tomorrow night's event?

It's beautiful.

Oh, now you're just being kind.

Usually my wife jeanne would
organize this type of thing.

She's brilliant
at official affairs.

But she's ill
and had to stay in navarre.

Oh, I'm...
I'm sorry to hear that.

Oh, you know the valois court
and those who serve there.

Perhaps you might help me.

Well, I don't think...

Well, I know
exactly what I want.

I want light fixtures hung
with strands of jewels,

Painted tiles in the
foyer bearing the valois

And bourbon crests,
intertwined in friendship.

Well... I do know

A custom tile maker.

I just don't think
my husband is going

To approve of me helping you.

I don't think he's
gonna come to your party.

Well, the whole point of the
event is to bury the past.

To bring our two families
back together.

To ensure peace between
the two royal households.

You won't help me?

Well, I'm such a fool
when it comes to money.

I have no idea
how much to give you.

Well, I didn't say
that I would.

Will 300,000
gold deniers be enough?

You want to give me
300,000 gold deniers?

To go shopping?

Please?

Where is your heir?

I had a feeling.

It's a bit complicated.

By the fact that francis no
longer visits your chambers?

Is that your decision or his?

It's ours.

Or has lola come
between you two?

No, mother,
please don't find fault.

Things have merely
changed between us.

Mary?

You are here to do a job.

I know how it can be.

A continual chore
one comes to dread.

This will help.

What on earth is...?

A herbal concoction.

Mixed by my physician.

Small miracle, really.

Only use a pinch
in your wine before,

And you will be...

At ease.

In an expansive mood.

Darling?

You are never going
to get pregnant again

If you don't try.

And you really need to.

Quickly.
Why?

Your cousin elizabeth
remains unmarried.

People are worried

About the instability
that would follow if she dies.

Her subjects want an heir

From their royal bloodline.

That you can provide.

I'm not sure if I can.

Things have changed
in scotland as well.

Your brother james
is under pressure.

The protestant lords
want you gone.

They want to make scotland

A protectorate of England.

But he insists that you
are the lawful queen.

A stand that protects
his hold on power as well.

You are on the cusp

Of losing your country.

Either you
or elizabeth will rule

Scotland and England.

Make an heir,

And it will be you.

Why didn't you tell your mother
what happened to you?

Every time I talk
about it, I relive it.

I simply didn't want to.
Not with her.

She'll be leaving soon,
at least.

Yes.

She is right.

What?

That we need to conceive
a child without delay?

Mary, it's too soon.

You have heirs

To take your crown
when you're gone.

Your brothers.

I have no one.

And with elizabeth

Becoming more aggressive,

I need to amass support.

I can't believe that you would

Base your choice solely

On international policy.

Once you spoke to me
about the need for love.

And what would
this encounter be?

Are you saying that you're
open to us beginning again?

I'm speaking of our duty.

To our nations,
to each other.

I am asking you to
help me protect myself.

My rule.

I need to think about it.

And I believe
you need to as well.

I don't think it's a good idea
for me to go to a social event

Hosted by a man who knows
I killed his brother.

As I understand it,

Antoine just likes
any excuse to throw a party.

I doubt he'll even notice
if you or I aren't there.

He might notice
if I'm not there.

Seeing as... I'm the one

Helping him give the party.

You're what?

He was having difficulties.

And I thought it would be
good diplomacy.

You know what he wants from you.

It's not hospitality advice.

Bash, I know what a man
like antoine wants.

I'm not a fool.

But I can handle him.

This has given me a chance
to go out and see people.

To do something with my
day besides sit around

And wait for you.

Please, won't you

Just consider attending
the party with me?

Then you can see for yourself
what I've been doing.

I was just about to leave.

(groans)
there's a woman

In the village inspiring fear.

They say that she can
raise the dead.

I need to get out there
and find her

Before this escalates
into a witch hunt.

Here we are again.

You have to run off
and save the world.

How many more battles for you

And lonely nights for me
until it's all done?

Kenna...

I might not be back until late.

(groans)
if you can wait for me here,

We will go
to the party together.

And you can show me

Your handiwork.

So, marie de guise wants you

To get back to the business
of making heirs.

Mary's willing.

Is she, now?

I don't know that she's ready.

She already links me
with the attack.

The man who did it
blamed me outright

Before he...

How do you forget that?

Why now, I wonder?

Have you considered
the possibility

That mary welcomes this push?

It has been months.

You should take
that into account.

A word of advice.

This is her choice.

Follow her lead.

But for the stability
of the realm, a king's visit

To a queen's chambers
must be witnessed.

People know that you've
been living apart.

If mary should find
herself with child,

There must be
no talk from anyone

About whose child this is.

Of course.

Hello.

I'm hoping you can help me.

I'm the king's deputy.

I understand you had
a visit from a healer.

A woman dressed all in white?

"a healer"?

Yeah, well, that's what
she called herself.

My little paul there
had a terrible fever.

Physician said he was dying,
nothing to be done.

I even went to the convent
to ask the nuns to pray for him.

But he just got weaker.

Then this woman came,
said she could help.

And did she?

I can see your son's
still alive.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, she placed
her hands on him.

In two days time, he was running
around, same as ever.

And yet you don't seem thankful.

Paul, mark!
Both of you, come here.

There's always a price,
ain't there?

When we take help
from devils and witches.

I should've known.

He was fine and whole,
till she came.

She blinded my boy.

You find her...
And put a stop to her.

Greer:
Sharlene?

(scoffs)

If you've come to say good-bye,
don't bother.

It's your fault
I couldn't pay my rent.

Your man, that dirty bird

Who chopped my gorgeous hair,
cost me my living.

I know, and-and I'm sorry.

That's why I got
you this wig.

You're serious?

Do you know
how much that's worth?

It's yours. Take it, please.

I'm not sure
it's gonna change much.

I'm not tainted with leper bits,

Like they said,
but I might as well be.

Folks on the street
won't come near me.

Sharlene, there are
other clients

You might make yourself
available to.

Oh, I'm available.

Because I'm a whore, you see,
that's the point.

I meant other venues,

Where one
might meet you.

There's a party I know about,
here in town.

There'll be lots
of rich, drunk men

Mingling about.

Outside, having a smoke

Where you might
say hello.

Oh, you'll need
a different frock, though,

If you're going to blend in.

Come with me.
Oh...

Lola.

Your highness.

I didn't see you
at my brother's funeral.

Were you avoiding me?

Coddling your bastard child?

I deserve your anger, and more,

But I'm afraid just now
there's somewhere I have to be.

Yes. I heard you were
meeting the von amsbergs.

To try to overcome
the perception

That you are just one
of the king's mistresses.

Francis is faithful to mary.

And as for me,

It was when they were apart,

And it was one night.

"one night."

Don't flaunt your
bountiful womb to me.

They may
have been apart,

But you were and
always have been mary's lady,

Since you were
a child.

There were dozens
of little girls

Whose families begged me
for that position.

But I chose you.

Because you played
well together,

Because you didn't hurt
or throw mud at her,

But now you have done both,

As, clearly,

Francis can procreate
with anyone,

They say.

The gossip of his tryst
finds fault with mary.

I know, and I think
it's terrible...

Oh, I know you do.

So warm and frank
in your approach to things.

To mary.

Makes her feel
like a regular girl.

But she is not a regular girl.

Mary is a queen

Who must be seen
as a force of nature.

Anything less endangers her.

And you and your son
make her seem...

Deficient.

Useless.

Disposable.

You know what happens
to disposable queens?

They are disposed of.

Brutally.

If it happens,

Remember your role
in her demise.

I know I will.

(bell ringing)

The sisters know
that I'm a healer.

They believe I am blessed,
and took me in.

How did you find me?

They call you
the woman in white.

I found you
here because

The woman you helped

Mentioned she came
to the convent

And asked the nuns
to pray for her child.

But you do more than pray,
don't you,

Sister delphine?

How did you heal
that woman's son?

I laid hands on him.

And the man risen
from the grave?

The greek worker
who had taken ill?

You mean the man
they buried alive.

I didn't
do anything

But hear his cries.

I don't hurt people.

That's never
my intention.

I'm sorry to hear
that boy's brother went blind.

But there's no certainty
that it was some kind of price.

But this has
happened before.

You save someone at
a cost to another.

Not always.

Many times there are
no consequences.

Even so, I only cure people

I know will die without my help.

So if there
is a price,

Surely it's less
than losing someone you love.

But how do you know
someone is truly dying?

Can you see
the future?

I've known
other visionaries.

I'm not asking to taunt you.

When I touch someone,

I know their pain.

Pain they've experienced

And, yes,
sometimes pain yet to come.

Prove it.

Lay hands on me.

What do you see?

You've been wounded in battle.

That's an easy guess
for a man of my age and station.

I see you on a horse...

Bleeding out,
hands reaching for you.

Did you nearly die
for a brother?

A woman?

Both.

Your heart...

Broken, and then healed...

But it will shatter because...

Go on.

You will lose someone
very close to you.

And soon.
Who?

Tell me who.

I don't know.

(lyrical music playing)

This is terrible!

Your guests have arrived
and I lost track of the time.

Well, everything looks perfect.
What are you worried about?

The party's started.
I'm not even dressed for it.

I'm yet to go back to
the castle to meet my husband.

We're supposed to be
attending together.

Well, you're here now.
Why don't we send a message

For him to join you?
I don't think that would be
such a good idea.

Do you need these,
lady kenna?

But... No, they're all jumbled

And they're supposed
to go on the tables.

Well, people will find
their own seats.

That's how it
works, isn't it?

Lady lola is supposed to be sat
next to the von amsbergs.

I look a mess.
What am I going to do?

Take these upstairs,
sort them out.

I'll have a dress
sent up to you

And a message sent to
sebastian to meet you here.

You have dresses at the ready?

Designers send
collections to my homes

In the hope that my
wife will choose one.

I can't wear a dress
meant for your wife.

That feels wrong.
Kenna, it's
only clothing.

I'm sure you'll find
something that suits you.

And send her up some jewels.

Uh, what do you favor?

Emeralds? Sapphires?

Lady kenna will be
writing a message

To her husband at court.

Make sure she sees
a rider dispatched,

But the message
should never get there.

Lola.
How nice to see you.

Oh, louis!

My son might get engaged
before he can walk.

Isn't that wonderful?
(laughs)

I... I suppose.

Be happy for me, won't you?

Lola, I have to ask...

Are you all right?

Oh, very relaxed.

And usually these
kinds of things make me nervous.

But I had a little drink

Before I came,
to steady my nerves.

Marie de guise does not like me.

You were drinking
with marie de guise?

What were you
drinking, exactly?

Well, I thought it was wine,

But it was bitter

And heavy with resin.

But I gulped it down anyway,
because...

Well, have you met
mary's mother?

She's terrifying.

(gasps)

Marzipan!

Oh...

(door creaks open)

Hi.

I'm all right.

I want to do this.

I-I'm just cold.

Here.

Are you sure
about this?

I'm sorry,
it's your breathing.

As long as
I look at you...

We can't do this.

You shouldn't
do this.

We have to, francis.

Why now, mary?

You talk of an heir,

And yes, a son

Would help both of us

And make you a better
choice than elizabeth,

But what are the odds

That we would
conceive a child--

A son-- this night?

We'll try next month.

I don't want to wait.

Just until
you're ready.

I know that England and
scotland are in chaos,

But is this
really the answer?

Is elizabeth really
so frightening?

Can you trust that
I will defend you?

Defend scotland.

Defend my people.

Are you afraid that
I won't protect you?

Well, what if you turn on me?

What if I do something
to anger you, in the months

And years to come?
I would never hurt you.

You don't know that.

If we live separate lives,

Move on with others...

I don't want to move on
with others, with anyone.

But... But you do?

Condé.

Have things progressed
between you?

We have done nothing.

But he loves you.

You and I both
know that.

Do you love him?

Is that what all
this is about?

Did you come to me because
you're afraid you'll go to him?

Or because you want
to secure your rule

In scotland
before you do?

Mary!
Both.

Is that what you
wanted to hear?

I don't know if I can
love anyone again,

But I know I can't
keep living like this.

A queen but not a queen.

A wife but not a wife.

Then be my wife.

I can't.

We've been over this already.

Too much has passed between us.

Too much you blame me for.

While Condé remains
untarnished.

And now you want
to go to him,

Thinking it will erase
your pain.

It won't, mary.

I won't let you do it.

No.

I forbid it.

♪ the green truck hummed low

♪ ah, we took only back roads

♪ we drove miles of country...

Who knew vengeance could
be quite so invigorating?

♪ sing me, baby, home

♪ sing me, baby...

Is bash here?

Not yet.

Come.

Let me introduce you
to some very influential people.

Bash:
Where the hell is she?

Is there no sign of lady kenna?

No word?

Nothing, my lord.

I checked with the guards
in the watchtower.

Not even a carriage
on the horizon.

This is your daughter.

Yes.

She took our breath away, too.

She has your nose.

(chuckles)

And your... Eyebrow.

Are those ears?

Why are they so far back?

Ah, lola, I see you've met
the von amsbergs.

And their baby.

Johnnie would have to
be a saint to marry it.

Excuse us
for a moment.

How drunk are you?

Have you ever noticed

How many shimmering soft things
there are in the world?

(chuckles)

Like little
gold ribbons.

(chuckles wearily)

Please stop doing that.

Oh, it's nice
that you're here.

That you were willing
to marry our son

To that ugly baby
because you are a good person.

I'm not a good person.

I wasn't tonight, at least.

But you are.

Let's get you out of here.

Mmm.

What's wrong?

I asked you here
to tell you something.

There will be no heir.

Not for a while,
maybe not ever.

You're being ridiculous.

Couples fight.
It doesn't mean anything.

I was raped.

When the protestants
attacked the castle.

That is why francis and I
have separate bedrooms.

There's more to it, of course.

Are you worried you're pregnant

With your attacker's child?

You still have only one goal--

A child to secure power,

As your child
increased yours.

I just told you that I...

And your first thought
is how long you have to wait

To be sure I am not giving birth
to a rapist's child.

Well...

Are you past it?

Yes,

I am past that fear,

But I face others.

Darling, I am sorry.

But the man who
violated you

Should not succeed in
damaging your aspirations.

Your aspirations,

Not mine.

What am I to you?

As you have never been
a mother to me.

You see me
as a weapon.

A bargaining chip, a vessel
for your dreams of greatness.

You are more than that.

Yes, I am.

I am more than a marker
to hold an alliance,

Or a breeder for the next
generation or the next.

I am my own person.

A woman grown,
and tonight I realize

That I am utterly
and completely alone.

But when I look
at you,

I feel I am better for it.

Lola, stay with me--
the carriage is on its way.

I love your crown.

So kingly.

Yes, well, that's
the point, I suppose.

But sometimes,
when I look at you,

I don't see a king at all.

I see the young man
you were in paris.

Deep pockets and free to roam.

That was the first
time in my life

That I was outside
the castle walls

And no one knew
where I was.

You were so not you.
(chuckles)

And yet, utterly you.

And a marvelous kisser.

Lola...

You know, I've always wanted
to tell you that.

Objectively, as your friend.

(horse neighing)

Here we are.

I really hope things work out
between you and mary.

Lady lola's not
feeling so well.

Oh, but I am.

Have her servants escort her
to her chambers

And stay with her
through the night.

No stops along the way.

Yes, your majesty.

You're early.

Wasn't expecting
anybody to return

For a few more hours.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

I saw francis at the party

After lola said
he wouldn't be attending.

That he'd be with you.

The whole castle knew
of your plans tonight.

Why didn't he stay with you?

Because it was
a failure.

I froze, it pained
him, and...

I'm sorry.

Mary, please, be...

Patient with yourself.

Don't take heart
from this, louis.

It's worse than
ever for us.

Francis knows of our feelings
and has forbidden our union.

"our feelings"?
Are you saying that...?

That I care for you,
of course I do.

You know I do.

Why else would your declaration
frighten me so?

I can promise you nothing,

Given who I am
and what I've been through.

It's all right.

I understand.

Was francis harsh with you?

No.

Not half as harsh
as my mother was.

She has been pressing me
mercilessly for an heir.

Even knowing what I've endured.

Mary, has your mother
been acting herself?

Why do you ask?

At the party, lola was...

Well, fairly levitating
after she had something

To drink
of your mother's.
My mother's?

There was clearly
some powerful narcotic in it.
Is lola all right?

She was in better spirits
than I've ever seen.

Much like others
I've encountered

Who have ingested opiates
or other such herbs.

Mother did try
to give me

A miraculous new
medicine she'd found.

Well, the miracle is that
marie can still walk straight,

Much less give you counsel.

(gasps)
bash.

You're here--
I was missing you.

Yes, it looks like you've
been grieving my absence.

Well, you're here now.

May I offer you
some champagne?

What's all this for?

Is it for us to look
past your hatred of us?

Then why seduce my wife?

Why don't we go
for a walk, baron?

Get some air.

Where did you get those?

Bash, please, not now.

Every time I turn around,
he's beside you.

You were supposed
to meet me.

I sent a message
with antoine's page.

Did you not get it?

He never sent the
message, kenna.

Well, I'll have
a word with my page

And see what
happened.
No message?

Are you sure...?

You're a manipulator.

And a liar.

Bash, please,
just talk to me.

Antoine is a liar.
He tricked me.

But it was you who put yourself
in a position to be tricked.

I planned a party.

I am not excusing
antoine's deception.

I'm wondering why it is
so hard for you to trust me.

Look at yourself--
he's all over you.

The gown,
those jewels.

You may not have strayed
explicitly,

But clearly you want
more than you have.

I do-- I want a good life,
and a husband to share it with.

And I'm sick of being judged for
it just because you want less.

Less comfort.

Less responsibility.

Less of me.

You.

How have I offended you now?

One question.

Could sex with you
be simple?

Not scary?

Just two people.

Or is there
something

Unimaginably dirty
or odd involved?

Ow.

Maybe...

I'm ready to find out.

Lola,

I can tell
that you're not

In your right mind
at the moment.

Oh, not you, too.

And though you are
heart-breakingly tempting,

Were we to come together,
I would want the real you.

(snaps fingers twice)

(whispering):
She smells of ointment.

Escort lady lola
to her chambers.

Have the physician
check on her.

Watch over her.

He didn't even
offer me a bath.

And he always
offers a bath.

What are these herbs
you've been taking, mother?

Some kind of opiate?

You nearly poisoned my friend.

My dear, I am sorry

I have been
such an inadequate mother...

Answer the question.

What are you doing

To dull your
ache for power?

Do you really miss sitting
on my throne that much?

I am dying.

And I'm leaving
you alone

To a terribly uncertain future.

But you look...

The physicians say
it originated in my lymph

And lungs.

I've been taking tinctures
in increasing amounts.

I can't go without them
for even a day,

Or the pain is unbearable.

You will stay here, then.

We will take care of you.
Our physicians...

We are past that.

Listen to me.

I must go back.

James is weak,
and I must help him

With the nobles
for as long as I am able.

(sighs)

I wanted the world for you.

I wanted France and England
to fall at your feet.

But I cannot protect you
when I'm gone.

I couldn't even protect you
when you needed it most.

Nobody could.

But I survived.

You are a fighter.

Fight for yourself,
your country,

Your throne.

Have an heir.

Be... Unassailable.

Lay down your burdens, mother,

So I am no longer your worry.

I promise you,

I will let no one--

Not elizabeth, not any usurper--

Take my country from me.

Since I was a babe,

I have been a queen.

Since a child,

I have been alone
on foreign soil.

I know how to keep my life,
my crown,

And I will.

Kenna.
Have you been following me?

Well, I've-I've been
looking for you.

Well, stay away from me.

I sent back your gowns,
your jewels.

I won't be your revenge against
this family, against my husband.

That's not what I want.

(scoffs)

I want you.

You think that because
I was the king's mistress

That I'm easy prey?

I don't want you
to be revenge.

I don't want you
to be my mistress.

I want you to
be my wife.

I'm a man who knows
what he wants.

And I have never wanted anyone
as much as I want you.

You're married.

Jeanne is dying.

They say she won't
live another month.

And it should tell you something
about the state of our union

That she doesn't
want me by her side.

When she's gone,
I'll take another wife.

I'm married.

It was an act of a mad king,

Which even your church
would overturn.

Forgive me,

But I know the facts.

I also know that your husband
occupies a station

That no woman of your upbringing
could be happy with.

And now you insult me.

You don't know
what makes me happy.

I saw you happy yesterday.

And...

If you are less than happy

In your every day, I wonder if
you might entertain a way out.

A life with me.

(scoffs)

A chance to be a queen.

I was going to ask you how
your evening went with mary,

But I think I know.

It's over.

There's no chance
of us having an heir.

If that makes mary
a less attractive rival

For the english throne,
so be it.

I'll find a way
to navigate the politics.

On her behalf and ours.

Francis, look at me.

I'm not surprised
that mary is

Still incapable
of being intimate.

And it's true, you may never
recover what you had.

For mary's sake,
I hope that you do,

But if not, you are my child,

My concern in this moment.

What makes you happy?

Your son?

A family?

You have that right now.

What are you saying?

I have the deepest compassion
for mary.

But you wear the crown.

Without joy or happiness

In this life, its weight will
crush your spirit into dust.

Mary has released me
to take anyone I wish.

I haven't even entertained
the possibility. Not yet.

Whatever you decide,
I support you.

And if someone here at court
should bring you joy,

Let yourself have it.

(laughter nearby)

(sighing happily)

(kisses)

(laughs)
look at his face.

(whoops, laughs)

Will you take him in?

Last night...

I am mortified and so sorry.

I'm surprised you even remember.

Every granular detail.

Oh, francis,
the things I said...

It's all right.

They were nice things to hear.

From a friend.

I did specify that, didn't I?

That I was saying them
in friendship?

You did, absolutely.

You were perhaps less friendly

About the von amsbergs'
baby's ears.

Oh, god, I...

(both laugh)

Two guinea hen pies--
one for you and one for me.

Though I could eat three.

Sharlene, I don't
have any money.

Take a peek.

Made it all in one night,
thanks to you.

That's two months' rent.

That party was swarming
with eager gentlemen.

Tables and tables of food--
roast duck, a whole pig.

You went inside the party?

My new friend invited me.

Found a dark corner.

He was touchy about the cold.

Easiest money
I ever made.

Highborn gentlemen, nothing
particularly nasty asked.

I want to do it again.

Sharlene, I can't risk you being
discovered at these parties.

We'll be hush.

Never saying anything about you.

"we"?
My friends.

All you have to do
is tell us about the parties

And dress us up.

Make us look... Right.

It sounds easy enough,

But that's not the future
I envisioned for myself.

It doesn't have to be
your whole future.

Just the right now future.

There's money in it
for you, greer.

There's money in it
for all of us.

Oh, well,

All right, then.

(laughs)

All right.

The herbs are
to soften the pain,

Because my mother is dying.

Oh, mary.

Is there no hope for recovery?

No.

And if I am to secure my rule
in her absence,

I must take drastic action.

I'm going to return to scotland
to rule in person,

To remind my people

That I am their queen.

You're leaving, permanently?

Francis agrees with this?

No, he is unaware.

Mary, whatever you need,
I will help you.

There is more.

I am done being a vessel

For other people's
wishes and fears.

I will not wait for a child,
or anyone,

To secure my life and future.

I am seizing it.

And in that light,

What I want is so clear.

I want you.

At my side, as you have been
these many months.

I know it is a huge request,
and I urge you to think on it.

Because if you say yes,
you could be risking your life.

Come to scotland with me.

Where we can be together.

A new life for us both.

Antoine.
What are you doing here?

Basking in my triumphs.

You're not this pleased
over a simple party.

(chuckles) hardly.

I'm pleased for
you, brother.

Bravo.

I've had a message
from England.

Queen elizabeth wants
a stronghold in France,

An alliance with a powerful
noble with a famous name.

She wants you.

Do you hear me?

Elizabeth.

No, y-you're lying.
It can't be true.

Elizabeth is inviting
you to court her.

To see if you
will be her king.

I can't.

Why?

Because you want mary?

Because you're waiting
to be beheaded

At the first mention
of adultery?

You could be ruling England
by elizabeth's side.

And after that, France.

Elizabeth is your future.
