Original subtitles

You're my Elizabeth...

and no one else is to play with you.

You have the backing

of every single Catholic in this country.

I question why we are asked to fund

a war we were told was won.

Because it was! Or do you believe

stealing a girl away in the middle of the night

and pleading for French assistance the act of winners?

- [fireworks popping] - [cheers]

All this for me?

[Henry] My wife questions whether you and Catherine

are the best guardians for Jane,

matching her with the king in the future.

Listen! I am meant to conduct--

Enough!

You are in this room not to rule

but to learn from those that do, from me.

[Catherine] What you've done does not matter.

It's what people think you have done

that is all that matters now.

Is it not to your liking, Princess?

Perhaps she's tired.

She is present.

[Joan] Forgive us.

My sister so oft talks of Your Grace.

Sir Anthony and I'd likely feel

quite as much affection for you as she.

Affection must not slip into overfamiliarity, though.

I know you find me rude, Princess.

I do apologize for it every time.

But overfamiliarity is a charge I will not take.

I held your father, the king's, hand

as he lay dying.

So if not you, your kin,

I am familiar with.

Are you familiar with any of my letters today, Sir Anthony?

[quietly] Princess.

No letters have come for you.

I have told you I would tell you if they did.

No word.

I assume it is your stepmother, Catherine,

you're so anxious to hear from.

Strange she has not written once in all this time.

She's unwell due to her pregnancy.

Is she?

That's not what I heard.

I know I chide you for not keeping patience, but Lord,

my sister's husband was sent to test mine as much as yours.

[Elizabeth] I'm late, Kat.

I have not bled since we arrived here.

You know this.

[Kat] Yes, you've never been regular.

Please don't make me say it.

You know. Surely you know.

I imagined you'd taken a silly fancy to him.

But this...

When?

I could not...

More than once you lay with him?

I thought I knew you, Elizabeth.

Should we fetch a woman?

You wouldn't tell your sister, would you?

Even if you think she could be trusted,

I couldn't bear her knowing.

I couldn't bear anyone knowing,

if we--we fetch a woman.

How knowledgeable you are in these matters.

[Elizabeth] I know they can be found.

- Everyone knows they can-- - Quiet!

[foreboding music plays]

If word gets out,

then we will both lose our heads.

You're often late. There is no need to act yet.

If in time you still don't bleed,

I will find someone.

But for now, tell no one.

[Edward] As the idolatry of the old faith is torn away,

They will cheer in the streets as we bring the true faith.

And will do so all the more now the Book of Common Prayer

will be issued throughout the country, to every parish.

The new Josiah: Edward VI.

[all] The new Josiah: Edward VI!

[applause]

We sinners do beseech thee to hear us, O Lord;

that it may please thee to rule and govern

thy holy Church Universal in the right way.

[all] We beseech thee to hear us, O Lord.

All this 'cause you shouted at him.

[Edward] That it may please thee...

It's called appeasement.

It's always been the strategy.

[Edward] ...our King and Governor.

[all] We beseech thee to hear us, O Lord.

Everyone looks very appeased right now.

[Edward] ...to rule his heart in thy faith, fear, and love,

[Edward] To ever seek thy honor and glory.

[all] We beseech thee to hear us, O Lord.

What is going on with you, man?

You spent 40 years resolutely immutable,

and now you're as changeable as...

- As what? - As your brother.

[all] We beseech thee to hear us, O Lord.

Don't worry about the bishop.

Or Mary.

Or any of that.

[Edward] ...Ministers of the Church...

I have her in hand.

[Edward] ...with true knowledge and understanding

- of the Word. - What about them?

[all] We beseech thee to hear us, O Lord.

What about them?

[Edward] And that both, by their preaching...

I can understand why the Princess Mary is not here.

But the Princess Elizabeth?

[all] We beseech thee to hear us O Lord.

And my daughter they've abandoned at home, too, I see.

They're all rather jolly for the grievously sick.

[Edward] ...and all the nobility with...

Who's sick?

I thought the Lady Catherine was meant to be strained

by her pregnancy.

Hence the princess' departure from her house.

I can't imagine what the other reason could be.

[Edward] ...to give all nations unity...

Tongues are wagging.

For the sake or your tongue, I hope not yours, sir.

- [Edward] Amen. - [all] Amen.

Sorry we left you behind, Jane.

[Jane] It's--

I didn't want to draw attention

to one of our young female wards,

lest the other one's absence was noted.

Though it was pointless.

I was asked where Elizabeth was three times at court.

Shall we go back, for you were all smiles there?

Seems like you are not the only convincing actor

in the house then.

Jane, are you acting too?

Do you pretend also to find him amusing?

[Thomas chuckles]

And what exactly is it that you doubt, my lady?

You.

I doubt you.

[Thomas] What would you have me do?

[Catherine] I would have you do nothing.

She writes every week, begging for my forgiveness.

Maybe I should, but...

...I cannot bring myself to reply.

This is what you have made me.

I've lost all compassion for a child.

A child, Thomas!

The only person that finds you remotely worthwhile

is an 11-year-old boy.

Well, he is the king.

An 11-year-old boy.

And me.

How much of a fool am I?

- [door slams] - [Thomas sighs quietly]

Don't mind Catherine.

Or me, for that matter.

Sometimes things that seem insurmountable,

they're often resolved quickly.

Mm.

And none of these states that we find ourselves in

last forever, be they pleasure or pain.

And yet, Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Do you take comfort in that?

[quietly] I do.

How are you the daughter

of that dilapidated half-wit Henry?

It's like watching a goshawk hatch from a goose egg.

[giggles]

Am I to be sent away too?

I thought you were planning to marry me to the king.

May not be implemented now that you and Catherine...

...you may no longer have use of me.

Young Jane...

if you tell Catherine you think that you have no other use

than as some pawn in a game, how do you think she'd feel?

Every day she tells me some clever thing that Jane said

or how elegant Jane grows.

No use of Jane?

No, we got plenty of uses for you yet.

Um... hmm.

- Pot washer? - [laughs]

[Thomas] Nanny goat milker?

Darn my hose, if all else fails.

Leaves Chelsea and has not been seen since.

Her honesty has never been the problem.

It's her faith that is.

And her deep desire to parade it.

to incite any more Catholic rebellions with her?

It was not an incitation.

[Somerset] That's not how your letter made it sound.

- [clucking] - [slashing]

[both] Yes!

He promised me that he'd cause no more--

[Pedro] Do you dislike people not keeping their promises?

Why are the churches stripped on your orders?

You promised my role with Mary

was to help end this religious divide.

Your role is to be in my employment.

That is not a role, sir, but a decision of mine.

Well, feel free to make a different one,

but she won't pay you to spy on her.

Come on! Pluck his eyes out!

You saw how they resist funding the Scottish wars.

Those churches are lined with gold.

You want to fight a war with God's money

I'm just-- I'm a little in wonder

at how you see things.

Your view out onto the world, Thomas,

is a little different

from the one that the rest of us have.

So you think I'm not uniquely tortured.

First our sister,

then my wife,

taken just as everything seemed--

everything seemed well.

Our sister saw her son, the future king,

carried by us ahead of the whole court

to his christening.

Would she not have wanted that day?

Catherine held her daughter, not in panic or in pain.

She held and kissed her baby

thinking that both were safe.

God stayed his hand to bless them

by gifting them those days.

You wouldn't wish them away

because it would ease your suffering.

I would.

I do not like suffering.

For all.

Pray for me, then.

Sir?

The Lord Protector sent me to spy on you.

Tempting you with morsels to keep you quiet

whilst he runs wild.

He wants power over you and your brother.

♪ ♪

Why are you telling me this now,

that you have betrayed me?

I've spent my whole life waiting for men

to prove themselves honorable.

But no matter how decent or pious,

they all had their price.

It's how I- I justified becoming a mercenary.

Because I was no worse than any other man.

Better, in fact, because I, at least, was honest.

And then I met you.

And I'm beginning to see that perhaps I...

I was wrong.

[Denny] I suppose you're in a hurry to return to court

now that you're finally back here.

I have no desire to be at court.

[Denny] Then what do you want, Lady Elizabeth?

I don't know.

[Denny] Of course you do. All women do.

You're just trained to disguise it.

Ambition is much-admired in men but derided in women.

But what do you want?

It will indeed serve you

to hide what you want from others,

but do not keep it from yourself.

Your father didn't give a fuck about rumors,

but if you do, they should be stopped.

The Lord Protector should have done so.

[Denny] If they have reached the Lord Protector,

I doubt he has believed them,

or any have, else there would have been consequence.

- There was. - [Denny laughs]

I am no consequence, Princess, believe me.

But still people chatter.

And however false,

how can I control what others say of me?

Oh, you can.

Lord, of course you fucking can.

You know how much this will stoke the fires at court.

Let them burn.
