Educating Philip

Years later...

Your Reverence,
my loyal Tavera,

another anniversary has passed
since Isabella left us.

But there is not an hour
when I do not remember her.

Days go darkly
and my shadow follows me everywhere.

After the misfortune in Algiers
I am going back to Spain, my home.

I would like to meet you
before I arrive at Court

because there are several issues
I wish to discuss.

Your Reverence.

How is
His Majesty?

He pretends to be as hard
as the stone of a cathedral

but, inside,
he is a window made of shards.

Ever since he lost his wife
he lost the way as well.

Follow me.

Your Majesty,
His Reverence is here.

- Your Reverence.
- Your Majesty, you don't know

how glad I am that you are coming back.
Everything is ready to welcome you.

The losers are not
welcomed joyfully.

Neither prizes nor medals
should mask our defeat.

We must not forget
what happened in Algiers.

It will be
as you say.

I have seen death pass very close.
I feel my hour will come soon.

That will be decided by the Almighty.
You should banish such dark thoughts.

I will. For only one reason:
my son. How is Philip?

Healthy and strong. Without traces of
illness, if that is what you are afraid of.

And his education?
Does he study?

Talk without mysteries.

The Prince is intelligent
but studying tires him.

He doesn't have a taste for languages; doesn't like
riding a horse; and doesn't show interest in state affairs.

Is there something
he does well, perhaps?

He is a sensible youg man who shows
good talent for the horticulture.

The horticulture?

Do you really find pleasure, Your Highness,
in the care of those plants?

It is not pleasure, Monsignor Granvela.
It is admiration.

And I don't take care of them.
They give me as much as I give them.

These plants have traveled from the Indies,
defying climate, man and God.

They deserve
all our respect.

If you continue such reasonings
you will make botany a heresy.

When I am with my plants, it is
the only time when I have time for myself.

With them, I can rest after Latin,
mathematics, history...

And Cardinal Tavera, who slept
in my chambers until yesterday.

Look, Granvela.
Have you seen such beauty?

- Your sister asks for me, Your Highness.
- Accept this plant, Do�a Isabel.

They say it was born from a young man's chest
who died of lovesickness.

You are very nice.

I feel flattered
but I cannot accept it.

Are you afraid I ask you
something in return?

- Your Highness, you are very...
- Very young for you?

Just because I have not been with a woman
doesn't mean I don't know what a woman needs.

Don't let
the land dry.

Water it
abundantly.

This Castilian climate is
very dry for its flowers.

Are you listening to me,
Your Highness?

To be honest,
I am hearing you, but I am not listening.

It is good that you have learned
the name of the plants in Latin.

Your father is going to return.
He left the order...

My father is not here.
He never is!

Just like you now;
you are absent.

- I cannot stop thinking about her.
- And you don't lack motives.

But you are the Crown Prince. I am afraid
your feelings for that lady are useless.

We become infatuated with
what we don't possess.

There is no woman without charm.
You will learn it soon.

But none is worth so much
that you lose your head.

You are more adept in women than I am, Monsignor.
However, it is obvious that I know more about love.

My lord, we would need more time
to gather the army you ask for.

There could be no delay.
Get it!

It is now or never. Charles doesn't expect it.
The defeat in Algiers has decimated his forces.

- Besides, Suleiman is by our side.
- Father, is it worth it?

We will lose thousands of men
and it is very little we are going to gain.

Listen to your son. He is talking
with the head and not with the heart.

It is the opportunity to settle this,
once and for all! Don't you understand?

Understand what? That you are two malignant
old men, killing yourselves with stick-blows?

- Do you dare to...?
- My love for you and France

is above
your obsessions.

My hour is close. And I must not die
in peace if I have not beaten Charles.

There will be war! Even if I have to
empty the treasury a thousand times!

I will march
on the front of my armies.

You will se your orders fulfilled
but you will not fight.

What do you have to demonstrate
to be worthy of, my lord?

I will not go but you neither.
You will stay in the palace.

I have already lost a son.
I cannot lose another.

Father...

- Your Majesty.
- Get up, my daughters.

Mary...
You are a woman now.

And you, Joanna,
need very little.

What is it?
Are you not happy for my return?

It is just...

I didn't remember
your face.

I know it well how much sadness
that feeling provokes.

Where is Philip?

Why has he not come
to welcome me?

Your Majesty, your son has gone to find a few books.
He takes his education more and more seriously.

Thank you for the loyalty
you have for the Prince, Monsignor,

but don't offend me with palavers.
I want him to come back immediately!

So you see
the bridge?

My great grandfather Ferdinand arrived on that
with his retinue when he came to get to know Isabella.

They fell in love
at first sight.

Am I a nuisance
to you?

No.

You are speaking
and speaking...

I am afraid it is just
a game for you.

- A game?
- A pastime, like your plants.

You don't know me yet.
I don't have pastime.

You are the Prince.
Sooner or later, you will get bored of me.

You take many things
for greanted, ma'am.

And what if I begin to
need you as you say?

What would happen
then?

YOu fear such a thing would happen?
Do you consider it possible, then?

Your Highness!

Your father demands
your presence immediately.

I thought you would not arrive
until this afternoon.

Your Highness,
it is afternoon now.

Your Majesty,

forgive
my delay.

I have come as soon as
I learned about your presence.

Come closer,
Philip.

- Father, you are...
- Older. And tired. I know.

You, however, seem to
be full of energy.

Or, at least,
that is how I was told.

A king has to have eyes and ears
in every corner of the court.

- Nothing irreparable has happened, father.
- Neither will it happen. You may not see that woman again.

Why?

You are my heir. If I have to explain you it,
it is that your education doesn't give the wanted fruit.

You have been my model. I know whose son
I am and I know who I have to be.

And I do nothing
you didn't at my age.

If you compare me with
my great grandfather Ferdinand,

my grandfather Philip
or simply with yourself,

- I have a reserved life.
- How dare you?

When you arrived at these lands,
Do�a Germaine helped you fit in.

- His Highness didn't want to say...
- I know it very well what I wanted to say.

- Have you not made me study history, perhaps?
- Enough!

You have already spoken too much.
Leave, everyone!

You don't, Tavera.
Stay.

Try to understand.
The lack of his mother...

I entrusted you
with my son's education.

I left the most precious thing I have
in your hands. And what do you give me back?

- An insolent one!
- Your Majesty, I have worked with might and main,

- neglecting other issues.
- Now, there will be no more classes of music,

neither of Latin, nor of anything!
His preceptors will abandon their tasks.

Do you want me to be the only one
who assumes the teaching of the Prince?

No. You will also be
freed from that burden.

This way you will not have
to neglect other issues.

- Who will educate your son?
- I will!

- I will his only one tutor.
- You are never in Castile.

I will stay here until
I make him a man and a king.

Leave.

The King has forbidden me
to see you.

And this is how
you obey him?

- Am I hurting you?
- No... No.

No. Go on.
Go on. Go on...

We sailed on more than 300 ships,
including galleys and warships.

Arriving at Algiers,
the enemy troops and the storm

impeded us to attack
on the place we planned before.

We had to find
a safe place here.

What was the relation
of the forces?

We were 30 000. They, only 8000,
including Turks, Saracens and Moors.

The Spaniards,
in vanguard.

The Duke of Alba led the German troops
with me here, in the middle.

In a few days,
we captured the besieged city,

with only 300 losses in our lines.
One more day and it would have been ours.

We waited for the galleys to arrive
on the sea in order to close the circle.

But they didn't arrive.

The storm destroyed the fleet on the coast.
More than 150 ships sank.

Shattered on the rocks.

We lost supply of food...
All.

Why did we fail,
son?

Where was
the mistake?

I don't find it
in the strategy, father.

But in the person.

You should not set sail
to pay tribute to the Empress.

That was your fault.

Your Majesty.

Your Highness. I am bringing
bad news from France.

- We will continue later.
- As you wishes.

Talk.

I thought the lessons would not
end until the sun goes down.

State affairs have intervened.
My studies will have to wait.

Would you mind if I deprived you
of such a lovely company?

I have done some grafts on some fruit trees
I would like to showto your lady.

Our father would not approve. Do you want to
make me accomplice in your disobedience, perhaps?

I do.

Because I know that you love me well.
And that you are discreet.

And have a good heart.

You should be more careful.
The Court abounds in foulmouthed people.

And in ill-disposed ones
as well.

The French troops have invaded Nice
in les than one night.

Bastard! He takes advantage of the low moral
after what happened in Algiers.

While we decide, I ahve ordered my men
to go and defend the position.

Annul that order!
The city has already fallen

and we would just sacrifice lives
if we tried to win it back.

Nice is just a stage on the way.
If not a distraction.

Francis wants to recover Milan.
He doesn't renounce his obsessions either.

Then, let us concetrate
on defending Milan.

Your Majesty, we are not
prepared for another war.

Should I let the King of France
get my domains, one by one?

You lack allies,
govern a hypothecated kingdom,

and the money from the Indies
vanishes as soon as it arrives.

There is a way to solve our financing necessities
and the Prince's education as well.

If I could stop
the time...

You are a dreamer.

Maybe.

I would like to
stay with you.

Without aging...

Without becoming sad and stern
like my father.

That is exactly
what he wishes.

- Maybe he is just afraid.
- Afraid?

Of me? Of my ambition
to inherit what is his?

Afraid of what will wait for you
when he is no longer here.

Mabye he just tries
to protect you.

In his way.

Maybe.

But he wants to fix it in days
what he has not done in years.

And he makes himself
unbearable to me.

He has never dedicated time to me
and now that he does...

I take to be harrassed
instead of being thankful.

Because I don't know
how to do so.

We are so different!

Less
than you think.

That is why you collide.
You are like...

Like two clouds,
full of rain in a huge storm.

You always see beyond
the things before your eyes.

I love you.

Philip is a man now.

And the time has come when he should
leave the child life behind.

Because of this, and because of the great respect I have for you
I ask you the hand of your daughter Manuela,

with the intention of strengthening
even more our alliance.

So much time without news
from your brother.

And now, he wants to take
my daughter from me.

Does it annoy you that
he wants to make her queen?

Once again, the only thing
he is interested in is our money.

Yes. To fight against
the ally of the Turks.

And, welcome as the dowry was, there was never
a woman more loved than your sister Isabella.

We have to help Charles.
For Portugal's sake.

What will become of us if the one who allies
with the infidels out of greediness wins?

- Our kingdom is neutral.
- We are family.

Spain and Portugal are twin lands.
We cannot remain on the margin.

We have the money.
And he has the reasons.

I have to think it
over calmly.

I know you, Friar Bartolom�, and I know
His Majestyt. Allow me an advice.

Hold your vehemence back
and watch over your tone.

Thank you for giving me
audience, Your Majesty.

Thank the Empress in your prayers. Because it was
she who paid attention to your demands.

Tell me,
what do you want?

It is my obligation to tell you about the horrors
which are committed in your name.

In my name?

Are you not responsible on the highest level
for the things that happen there?

Get to the point.

The Pope was willing to issue a bull in which
it was said that the Indians are God's subjects.

- Free, just like you and me.
- I know it.

It is also where my wife intervened,
may she be in glory.

Her disappointment will be huge in the heaven if she sees
what a game was made of that bull in New Spainban.

Indians keep on dying,
exhausted by the works

they are subjected to
or they are forced by whips

in the encomenderos' hands.
But...

Castile will keep looking the other way
while ships arrive with gold.

Have you done such
a long journey to offend me?

I just report
an infamy.

And I beg you
to end it!

Your Majesty...

It is our duty as Christians to ban
those estates and free the Indians.

Does your conscience have
to bear so many lost souls?

Cort�s warned me about you.
You are a leery and scheming man.

Pay attention to the man
you consider appropriate.

I will keep persisting
in the salvation of the innocent ones.

Because that is
the Lord's intention.

Don't let him step through
that door once again!

Your Majesty...

Headstrong as the friar is,
his cause is just.

You too,
my friend?

Summon Cort�s.

I want to talk to him
as soon as possible.

Read it.

�A Short Account of
the Destruction of the Indies".

By Friar Bartolom� de las Casas.

After Atahualpa gave the Spaniards
more than 2 million of gold,

having given them all the land,
they burned the same Atahualpa.

- I affirm that, before my eyes, I have...
- ... seen Spaniards cut hands,

ears and noses of Indian men and women,
without purpose, just because they wished to do so,

in so many places and spots
that it would be long to tell.

- But what is this?
- Not more than a fragment

of the things Friar Bartolom� wrote,
that he himself has spread.

It has fallen into
my hands, too.

- Who else has read it?
- Very few people,

- so far.
- You have to impede him to publish

- a report like this about the conquest.
- Of course!

- The scandal would be...!
- Is it the only thing that troubles you?

Do the things the document suggests
not horrify you?

What we have done to those poor creatures
deserted by the Crown?

This man stretches the truth
for his trim. For his own benefit!

- This takes his credit away.
- Only your eyes is

what you know, but the rest
of the world will find it good!

Your Majesty,

whether he exaggerates or no,
de las Casas tells the truth.

The truth, my lord, is that only I and men like me brought
civilization to places where only barbarism had existed!

For greater glory of
the Crown and the Christendom.

Enough, Don Hern�n.
Tank you for enlightening me.

Always at your service.

Do you know what I thought when I saw
our ships sink before Algiers?

That I had overshot the mark
and that God had fallen out with me.

That He was no longer
by my side.

He prefered the victory of the infidels
than that of an arrogant man.

Maybe he punishes the sins committed
in my name on the other side of the ocean.

The baseness of
an excessive eagerness.

Have the black friar
come here.

The encomiendas will
keep beeing canceled.

There will be neither cause nor motive
to make the Indians become slaves.

Your Majesty, you have demonstrated that you are the leader
the Christendom deserves on both sides of the ocean.

Although Castile has promulgated these New Laws,
do understand that this writing of yours...

My testimony didn't have other intention
than to touch the reader.

If I had known that it would be
examined by such regal eyes...

Don't take me for a fool. You sent it aroundin order to
achieve your goals at the expense of avoiding a scandal.

- The war is just if the goal is noble.
- The manuscript has already achieved its aim.

So I ask you to destroy it,
for everyone's sake.

Should it not be told, perhaps,
what has happened there?

Tell me only one empire, noble as it is,
that has not drawn blood of the defeated ones.

You have to know that the bishopric
of Cuzco has been given to you, too.

Friar Bartolom�, the Emperor
is being very generous with you.

It would be good
to leave immediately.

Your Majesty, I don't want to
offend you but I cannot accept.

As you must know, Peru is very far from
the place where I do my tasks and...

Which would be the suitable
diocese for you?

From the bishopric of Chiapas, I could better
look after the fulfillment of these New Laws.

Alright.

- As to the manuscript...
- Your Majesty, destroying it, it would not be good for anything,

because I will never forget
what I saw and heard.

Your devotion in the defense of the Indians honours you,
but you owe loyalty and obedience to the Crown.

Don't forget that.

Portugal has replied.

Let Tavera and Granvela come.
And order that they bring my lunch.

Portugal accepts the engagement.
The dowry will be 300 000 ducats.

Now you have the money
for your war.

- Are you not happy?
- No war is motive for happiness.

- I give you that.
- I would be good to redo the bonds with England.

I will write to Henry. We will leave
for Milan as soon as possible.

- I will lead the troops myself.
- You?

First you send your son's tutors away,
and now you abandon what you have started?

Are you questioning my decision,
Your Reverence?

I just wonder
what the Prince will think.

Philip should not know. No one will tell him a word
neither about his wedding, nor about my leaving.

I will do it myself
when I see fit.

Of course,
Your Majesty.

Now, let us concentrate
on defeating Francis.

I would like to see myself
on the battlefield.

I remember her
every day, too.

When I last see you so silent you warned me
that my mother was going to die.

There are great news
concerning you.

You are going to marry
your cousin Maria Manuela.

- You cannot ask me that.
- I am not asking. I am letting you know.

You postponed your wedding for years.
No matter how everybody insisted.

I reigned
and knew my place.

being married, you will finally abandon
that life dedicated to flowers and your lover.

If I have to marry
I will.

But don't say
it is for my sake.

My cousin's dowry
will finance the war.

So don't take me
for a simpleton.

You are right. You deserve
to be treated as an adult.

I don't know how much time
I have left, Philip.

And it is much power you have to receive.
I need to know that you will be prepared.

When the moment comes,
trust no one.

No one?

- Not even our counsellors?
- No one, son.

Neither Alba, nor Granvela nor Tavera. All will
want something from you. All, without exception.

As to your wife,

a king also has to
be a good husband.

Restrain
your impulses.

Don't insult her. You will have
to moderate the pleasures.

Sleep with your woman becasue it is necessary,
but remember that it is wrong to do it too much.

Are you not exaggerating,
perhaps?

It was the excessive love
that killed your mother.

7 pregnancies were
tempting fate too much.

I will pay respect
to your advices.

I promise.

Are you ill,
perhaps?

I am leaving
for the war.

Maybe we will not
see each other again.

Are you abandoning
me again?

I am giving you the opportunity to prove
that you are worthy of receiving my legacy.

You will be regent
during my absence.

Now I understand
it all.

Son!

Help Philip
in the regency.

Obey his commands
but keep me informed of everything.

I will.

Your Reverence.

I am sorry for having been
unjust with you.

- You have done a good job with my son.
- Only time will tell, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, we have to leave now
or night will reach us before we had planned.

- Remember, son.
- I know.

I should trust
no one.

Not even
my own father.

He should not leave him
alone again.

Did you want
to see me?

I am going
to marry.

Did you know?

No.

The Inftanta of Portugal.

My cousin Maria Manuela.

Congratulations.

This day
had to come.

It did.

Now I have to focus on
my duties as regent.

And I, on occupying my place
by your sister Mary.

No more explication
is needed.

Isabel.

You have given me
the happiest moments of my life.

But time cannot
be stopped.

Charles will lead
his troops personally.

- Do you want me to keep my seat?
- You promised you would not fight.

And you,
to obey your king!

Do you think I don't notice
how you look at me? Everyone!

Like at an old man, at the evening
of his life. Even poor!

Like at a walking dead.

I prefer dying on horse before staying here
to watch this interminable funeral.

I had the hope that you would
find peace and repose in Castile.

No.

I will not rest
until my work concludes.

I suppose I should felicitate you
on your appointment, Monsignor.

As to those New Laws, don't expect
they would be welcomed.

- It is the King's word.
- Yes...

But that comes
from very far away.

Don't worry.
We will observe the law.

And we will comply
with the Crown.

We will find the way to provide them
with riches, just like so far.

Near Paris...

My lord,

how is
your gout?

The Englishman gives us his support.
That eases any kind of pain.

Well, wait and hear
what I am coming to tell you.

Francis has encamped one and a half miles away
from here. He wants to surprise us.

Prepare my horse.

- I refuse!
- Don't be stubborn, Your Highness.

We are not going to fight more battles.
You have to leave immediately.

- Never!
- Our position has been given away!

- Charles is coming, in greater number than we have.
- Well, I will face him, damn it!

Listen to me
carefully!

Everything is lost.

Leave, as soon as possible.
You cannot be taken prisoner again.

I came here for the victory.

I will not go
like a frightened old woman.

And my duty is
to keep you safe!

If you don't mount that horse
I swear I will obligate you myself.

Don't stop
till Paris!

Father!

We have organized a ball and the venison
has been prepared as you like it.

- What are we celebrating?
- The end of the war.

And that you have
come back in one piece.

My defeat.

Nobody has lost this war
since no one has won it.

Negotiate;
the Emperor will cede.

If you wanted to increase my shame
you have succeeded.

I am retiring in my chambers.
No one should disturb me.

The entire square will be
covered with standards.

The craftsmen will build
a triumphal arch.

The most splendid wedding
of the history of Spain.

Leave that to the chroniclers,
Granvela.

What is she like?

I understand
she is a good Christian.

Your Reverence, you know
it is not what I am asking you.

I don't know the Infanta personally.
I can tell you what they say about her.

Please. I am going to marry her
and I have not even seen her portrait.

I have heard that she is taller than,
or as tall as, her mother, your aunt Catherine.

Very pretty, friendly, dresses well,
and without a spot on her face.

Could you be
more exact?

They say
she is an angel.

Infanta.

Your Reverence.

Say that you know
where your brother is.

Calm down. He has not escaped
if that is what you are afraid of.

Your Highness!

The Infanta Do�a Maria Manuela.

Infanta, let me introduce
your cousin and future husband,

the Prince Don Philip.

It is a pleasure
to meet you.

I hope you had a good travel.
It is a long journey.

The longing to get to know you
made it shorter.

And it has been
really worth it.

However, your silence is telling me
that I have disappointed you.

Why should it be
that way?

We had time
so that the imagination flies.

And it doesn't stop being odd,
marrying a stranger. Do you not agree?

In fact,
it is as you say so.

I, for example,
believed you taller.

It matters a little
what we thought.

It has already been
decided for us.

I do.

I do.

Amen.

I am glad to see you again
in more joyful circumstances.

I am saying the same. May God let the Prince find
in his wife the happiness his father found in the Empress.

May God want it so,
since he took her from us.

But you have not come here
just to express such good wishes.

I have not,
indeed.

As you know, my conquests were left behind,
and the officials of the Crown endeavour to administer them.

And do you not
feel proud?

- Relieved, perhaps?
- I have other jobs to do.

Because I have to look after
my businesses here and in New Spain.

- Which are not a few. Neither are they ruinous, as I understand.
- Fortunately.

But the New Laws approved by the Emperor
before his departure can ruin some.

They will not deprive you of
a warm meal. Don't worry.

But it will save many people
from a life of suffering.

How differently people understand here
how much happens on the other side of the seas!

Believe if I say that the many
who have forged a future there

will not let themselves be damaged
by some laws made in the comfort of the Court.

My friend,
not everyone is like you.

No.

There are people
who are harder to comport with.

Warn the Emperor
and let him prepare his answer.

And that should be convincing
because Castile without the Indies

will see its purse
as dwindled as mine.

Do you think
they could go so far?

There are plenty of rude people
and their behaviour is no less rude.

Tell him it. He will hear you
with better mood than me.

So many prepared me for this day
and they avoided to tell me the best.

As a child, I heard
you had a delicate health.

But, actually,
you are very vigorous.

My father believes we should maintain
a regimen of moderated meetings.

I am your wife.

My duty is to give you
some healthy and strong sons.

If I am not going to have you always at my disposal,
then let me enjoy you tonight until I am sated.

Isabel.

- Isabel!
- What are you doing here?

This is you wedding night.
You should be with...

With the woman
I love.

I have missed you
so much.

I could not stop
thinking of you.

The Princess loves you.
I have seen it in her eyes.

And in mine?
What have you seen?

She gave herself to you in love.
Is it not enough for you?

No.
I want it all.

I want you.

I love you.

Behave when the Emperor
comes. Please.

Why be polite with someone
who has no consideration for us?

He has put his son on the throne of Spain.
But he forgot about you and me.

Be patient.
We have just won a war.

You will see there is
recompense for everyone.

Who knows? Maybe the Duchy of Milan
will be yours.

Congratulations,
brother.

Finally, this war comes to an end.
God is by our side again.

What are you going to do now that you defeated
your eternal enemy? Will you rest, finally?

At the moment, I will wait for Francis to assume
the defeat, agree to an agreement and respect it.

Do you remember
my son Maximilian?

Of course. Though it would have been
impossible for me to recognize you.

Whose is this
wonderful voice?

Her name is
Barbara Blomberg.

Your Majesty,
I hope you liked it.

For a man who comes back from a war,
your singing has been the closest to the sky.

Seeing the Emperor so close impresses more
than watching him on paintings and tapestries.

One doesn't age
on pictures.

Your Majesty, there are many
who require your presence.

I suppose this negotiation is not important enough
for the King of France to assist in person.

His Highness's health
has impeded him to come.

But he must have given you power
to cede the Duchy of Burgundy.

As long as you renounce
the Duchy of Milan.

I see this negotiation
is going to linger.

Lord Constable, I have come
to sign a permanent peace.

If you are entrusted with the same
mission, we will come to an agreement.

Where are these
men going?

To mines, to the fields...
Where they are needed.

Where there were
Indians before.

You have saved the Indians from their tasks,
but the Crown doesn't renounce the fruit of these lands.

He bought them in Africa
and this is their job.

Negros were born to serve.
To be slaves. That is how God wanted.

Or do you think that they are
also like you or like me?

This is ignominy!
Infamy!

This is what
you have provoked!

No.
And thousand times no.

Peace everywhere and for all men
regardless of race.

Only one God exits for all the people,
Indians, Pagans, Greeks or Barbarians.

I thought the Negros were more resistant than
the Indians and I saw thousands die in the streets.

I have been wrong!

Lord, forgive me.

Forgive me, Lord.

Transmit my respects
to your lord.

I hope he will
recover soon.

I will let him
know it.

The entire kingdom
pray for that.

In the end, neither will you recover
Burgundy nor will Francis get Milan.

- This war has not been good for anything.
- Just like most of them.

You close a long chapter. What are you
going to do with the things you gained?

I have to
think it over.

At least, you must know who
will be the next Duke of Milan.

Milan will be for Prince Philip.

A worthy title for an emperor's son,
don't you think?

- What do you want?
- He has given absolutely nothing to us!

- You said...
- Calm down!

Everything will be his son's! Even the Duchy of Milan!
One humiliation after the other!

You get into a scrape,
behaving this way.

You think the same,
you just don't dare to ope your mouth!

Say it is not true!
Say it, father!

Crawl before him if you are so loyal!
But you will not get anything!

Not even the crumbs
that fall from the tablecloth!

And my nephew Maximilian?
I could barely see him.

He didn't feel well.

Neither do I.

The dinner has
sat upon me.

Forgive him.
He has drunk too much.

I will go
with him.

It is difficult
to approach you.

Always surrounded by your people.
And so alone at the same time.

So alone?

Alone and sad,
if you permit.

You are the most powerful man
in the Christendom.

Why this sorrow?

Because I loved much
and I lost it all.

All?

Let me cast
doubts on that.

And ease
your thirst.

No matter how much you fill my cup,
my soul will still be empty.

Let me alleviate
your wound.

Let me try it.

You will not find better comfort
in other hands.

You would waste your time.
There is nothing to do.

There is always
something to do.

Let me take you
to a more private place.

- Where have you brought me?
- To the best corner of your empire.

You talked about
a private place.

We are not alone,
not precisely.

Don't pay attention.

Imagine that
it is just you and me.

Listen to me,
only me.

I...

- You have got confused.
- There is no possible mistake.

You are a man.

But I have not been
with a woman for years.

I will refresh your memory,
Your Majesty.

Where are you going,
Your Majesty?

- I have to leave here.
- Don't go...

Stay for a little while.

You don't understand.
You cannot understand.

I understand perfectly,
my lord.

You are broken.

Your wound
have not healed.

Neither will they heal.

Charles!

No.

I am Philip.

Your grandson.

But how time has passed!

Let me introduce
your granddaughter Manuela.

Catherine's daughter.

And, now,
my wife.

You don't take after
your mother at all.

- Where is my son Charles?
- In Flanders.

He has just won the war
against the French.

He doesn't come
to visit me anymore.

We wanted to present ourselves before you
before Manuela's state impedes it.

I had six children
with my husband.

All reached adulthood
and only Isabella has died yet.

Take it.

May God take pity
on you, my child.

Be strong, Princess.
Just a little more.

He is pulling me apart.
He is pulling me apart inside.

It is a boy.

Seems to be
healthy.

And the Princess?

She has lost
much blood.

Maybe she will not
survive this night.

Look at your son.

It seemed he would not want to come
into this world, but here he is.

How are you,
Your Highness?

Are you not going to call me
by my name, not even now?

How short everything
has been, Philip!

Don't say that.

- There is still hope.
- No...

I see it
on everybody's face.

My journey is
ending here.

I have complied.

I have given you
a son.

And now,

I am starting
another journey.

Philip...

I know you have
not loved me,

but you have been attentive
and polite with me.

Thank you
for that.

Forgive me.

Please.
Forgive me.

And now,

if you don't mind, I would like to
stay alone for a while with the child.

You should visit
His Reverence.

As soon as
possible.

God cannot take you.
Not yet.

Your father

is a man
trapped in his fears.

You should decide

who deserves
your trust.

You are stronger

than you think.

What have you done,
you fool?

What you should have done
a long time ago!

What have you offered to the German princes
so that they rebel against the Emperor?

- What did you tell them?
- That you are the past and I am the future!

How is it possible that
the German princes rebel against me?

Can I never
live in peace?

It is certain
that the war is a fact.

- Do you have anything to do with it?
- How can you even think about it?

I am by your side! Decide what you want
to see in me: an ally or a traitor!

I have to write to Philip. We need money
in order to face the rebels.

Next time...
Bring Frederick of Saxony
to me.

You have taken the robe
of the Society of Jesus.

Why do you give him the regency
if you don't want him to govern?

You will be with me
come what may.

I summoned Maximilian but I am afraid
Ferdinand doesn't pay attention to my petition.

Who is with me?

I will do the impossible
to save us.

Your Majesty, there are no obedience
in those lands for the laws of the Crown.

It doesn't benefit us in anything
if our subjects rebel against us.

M�hlberg didn't serve as deterrent.
The Protestants rebels again.

Let time decide if France has to
continue the fight... or no.

What kind of joke
is this?

This letter has come
from the Indies.

My moment has come!
I ask you to clear the way.

I don't doubt your esteem towards me.
But I do doubt your loyalty towards the King.

We cannot finish
with the imperial army.

But we can finish
with the man they fight for.

No sovereign has ever united under his command
domains so vast and diverse.

What are you going to do
with Maximilian?

You and I share the doubtful honor of
having been the Emperor's prisoners.

Then, let us help each other
relieve us of his yoke.

My strength wanes day after day.
And, since we are all mortals,

I have to leave my things
done and well done.

And my father?

- Don't do it, Your Highness.
- He is my father!

He is the Emperor!

For the Emperor!
