0:00:02 > 0:00:08This programme contains prolonged violent scenes
0:00:10 > 0:00:12THUNDER RUMBLES
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Sir.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58How is our Duchess of Orleans?
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Asleep with her husband.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Not her own chamber?
0:01:04 > 0:01:08After her fall, my brother thought it best to let her sleep there.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10The rest will do her good.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16May we all have peace tonight.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Hmm.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25Goodnight, Sire.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38This is highly irregular, Your Majesty.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45My bed, your last stop before retiring.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46That was your promise to me.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48I'm tired of waiting for you to keep it.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Help me.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Please.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33My God.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37My King!
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Fetch my doctor.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Do it now!
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Henriette.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Henriette.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Sire.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28- Sire.- Don't.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Protocol demands if the air is impure and you are at risk,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33you must leave immediately.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34DOOR OPENS
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Close the doors.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43We must put her in the bed.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Get His Majesty to safety at once.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Sire...
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Get your hands off me.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01I command you!
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Don't leave me.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Let me know when the doctor arrives.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40# I'm the king of my own land
0:04:45 > 0:04:49# Facing tempests of dust
0:04:49 > 0:04:53# I'll fight until the end
0:04:57 > 0:05:03# Creatures of my dreams raise up and dance with me
0:05:11 > 0:05:23# Now and forever, I'm your king. #
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Her life is in your hands.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Tell me what happened.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- She collapsed... - She said something about a poison.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06How could she know?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09It is what she told me.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12She bled from the mouth, then doubled up with a pain in her side.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Which side?- The right.- The left.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Both, then?- It was the right.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Not the first time. You were not here, you did not see.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21If this is poison, then she must purge.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25If a sickness, then the malady may make her worse.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I will need emetics and charcoal, iced water and cloth.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35It was the right side. She always complained of it.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Where do you suggest we take her?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Oh, she's in no condition to be moved.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45She cannot stay in the king's bed.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46We are not touching her!
0:06:46 > 0:06:48We have no choice. She stays.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49And so do I.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Shh.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Wait, wait.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14No food or drink shall be consumed until its safety can be confirmed.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Take it back.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23You believe Her Highness is poisoned?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I believe many things.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31I believe this palace is a symbol of our King, of his power,
0:07:31 > 0:07:36of his country, and our enemies have stopped at nothing to destroy it.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Since the first stone was laid in this expansion,
0:07:39 > 0:07:41His Majesty knew this day would come.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44So, do I believe that our enemies would dare to poison
0:07:44 > 0:07:46King Charles of England's sister?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Yes, I do.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52But I also know that their greatest plan has yet to show itself.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54But...
0:07:54 > 0:07:55what if she's merely ill?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Then your appetite will be merely inconvenienced, Louvois.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00DOOR OPENS
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Bontemps, how is she?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09It's still not safe.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- Fabien.- Sire.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Sequester the palace. No-one enters and no-one leaves.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Too bright.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Who compels me to wake?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Where did you go?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52I had to kiss my pillow last night.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I hope you're suitably jealous.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00What's the matter?
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Our dear Henriette.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Well, I'm not surprised that she fainted. She hardly eats a thing.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06She is gravely ill.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Then I must go to her.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14She's in her chamber, I assume?
0:09:14 > 0:09:15She is in mine.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19She came to find me.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Yes, I know, I would do the same.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25If you wish to go, go now.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39PAINED WHEEZING
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Do something, woman!
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I have to find the source.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50It will hurt.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Bite this.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Restrain her.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12MUFFLED CRIES
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Is there any change?
0:10:32 > 0:10:33She is worse?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43I do not regret sending her.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49She brought honour to herself and glory to our court...
0:10:50 > 0:10:52..and I do not regret it for an instant.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55We are all proud of her, Sire.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Yes, we are.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07And now someone is trying to destroy me by destroying her.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09But they will not succeed.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I was seeking you, Sire.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12I saw your guard outside.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15When I heard the news, I came as soon as I could.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18I wish to offer myself to you as your subject and as your friend.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Is my son still in court?
0:11:25 > 0:11:26With the sequester, Sire,
0:11:26 > 0:11:29the Dauphin was confined with his governess.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Of course.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I want him far away from my chamber.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37He's not to hear her pain.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42If I may, Sire, I could school him in riding today.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45The fresh air and distance might do him the world of good.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47With your blessing, of course.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Keep him occupied in body and mind.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Thank you.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54We will ride to the woods, my King,
0:11:54 > 0:11:58you have my word on it. Although, with the sequester...
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Allow them passage in court.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02At once.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Madame, some privacy for Her Highness.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I will need a moment to compose myself.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Of course, Madame.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Her Highness is resting now,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12but I fear we're not through the worst.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16My brother always trusted you.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20I am honoured.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27I don't believe I know what it feels like.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38This must be frightening for her
0:13:38 > 0:13:40and for those who love her.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45We are all of us in sickness here.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50We're just waiting for it to take root.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57She cannot possibly be treated in the king's chamber.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59She must be moved immediately.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01What if the poison were to spread?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03So it is poison?
0:14:04 > 0:14:05It's not yet certain, Sire.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10But the facts remain stark, Sire.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12There was an attempt on Her Highness' life
0:14:12 > 0:14:15during her journey to England. It could be so again.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20And even if we do discover a poison, how do we find the poisoner?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Eliminate the suspects.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Eliminating suspects doesn't mean the same to me as it does to you.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Either way, it will have the desired result.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32By which logic we must also question the Count and Countess de Gramont,
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Colbert de Croissy, Sir Thomas Armstrong, Henry Howard,
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Thomas Clifford, Henry Bennett, Anthony Ashley Cooper,
0:14:37 > 0:14:40John Maitland, George Villiers, The Duke of York
0:14:40 > 0:14:43and the Duke of Monmouth, all of whom were with her on that journey,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45either departing, in transit or arriving.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Are you suggesting we interrogate all those people?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49I agree with His Majesty.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Whatever method expedites the truth.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56I will talk to everyone who had access to Her Highness.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58King Charles himself, perhaps?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00No-one is above suspicion.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03You...
0:15:04 > 0:15:06You did this to her.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Brother.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09We warned you. We begged you.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Yet you heard nothing.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18The only voice, your own desire for glory.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Yet how much pain are you willing to endure before you get what you want?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Why are you casting all this rage at me?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Because you deserve it.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Because the whole world gave you counsel.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Your closest confidantes told you to look elsewhere!
0:15:33 > 0:15:35But the advice you took came from only one source.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37DOOR OPENS
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Or two, perhaps.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53KNOCK AT DOOR
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Come.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Marie, the room is dirtier now than when I left it.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Where's my money?- Your payment will come in due course.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05I want my money now.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10It is not yet clear to me what you have done to earn it.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Make sure you leave it spotless.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22The court is under lock and key, Montcourt. What are you doing?
0:16:22 > 0:16:26My apartment has a pisspot and I do hate to urinate in the stairwells.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Never stopped you before.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31To live like a gentleman, I find, these days,
0:16:31 > 0:16:33I must try to act like one.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34Challenging days.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Gentlemen.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41I hear Fabien's security lurchers are making enquiries.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51Henriette's lady was taken in this morning, Sophie de Clermont.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53I don't know what they hope to get from her.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56In any event, her lady is ill. What more is there to say?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Very little, I should hope, for her sake.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00We cannot be seen together any more.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Is that understood?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19It's important that the Dauphin enjoys his lesson.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21We should be back in a couple of hours.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32You accompanied Her Highness on her mission to Dover.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33As was my duty.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36You had close and intimate access to her person.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37As was my duty.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41What contact did you have with her, in particular?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43I served her tea.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44- What kind?- Chicory.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49It gave her great comfort. Though I was never the one to prepare it.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Do you know who did?
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Do you know who did?
0:17:55 > 0:17:56Yes, I do.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Then tell me.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00What happened to my mother?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I am not here to answer you.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Then neither am I.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I would recommend very strongly that you reconsider.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11I have nothing, so what would I have to lose, except for that?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Your life, for one.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16I do not have a life.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18My mother told me who I was, and since that was a lie,
0:18:18 > 0:18:22who I truly am, I have no idea.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26You are the daughter of a Huguenot conspirator against the King,
0:18:26 > 0:18:29funded and supported by William of Orange.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32My mother has paid her price for their treachery.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I am merely trying to survive.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38I thought your protection would ensure it.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Unless you are more like your mother than you care to admit.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Make no mistake, Monsieur Marchal.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51My mother fooled many people with her treachery,
0:18:51 > 0:18:52but the biggest fool of all
0:18:52 > 0:18:54was you.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Who prepared her tea?
0:18:59 > 0:19:00I did.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15SCREAMS OF PAIN
0:19:40 > 0:19:42LOUD SCREAMS
0:19:54 > 0:19:56She knew what she had to do
0:19:56 > 0:19:58and she did it willingly.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Because you told her to.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Because she was born to it.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Because she loves you.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14If we do not have the English,
0:20:14 > 0:20:16we cannot attack the Dutch.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24You never understood politics
0:20:24 > 0:20:25or survival.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34The state is a person,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36and a person either asserts himself
0:20:36 > 0:20:39or is subjugated to the will of others.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41We stake our claim or we are ploughed into the field -
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- it is one or the other. - You acted out of pride.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I risked my life for your vanity to rescue your wife's dowry.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I acted for France because I am France!
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Because without me,
0:20:52 > 0:20:56this country will consume itself in noble squabbles.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Music, dance, art, fashion,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03all of these things have the power to change a nation from within,
0:21:03 > 0:21:08to affect the hearts and minds of people, to bring them over to us.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10We could never invade the entire world, but the world
0:21:10 > 0:21:14can imagine us to be their centre, and one day, my brother, they will.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16The cost is justified a hundredfold.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22If I were to teach you a piece of music,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24if it were to strike you in your heart
0:21:24 > 0:21:26and the sheets and the staves were burned,
0:21:26 > 0:21:31you might then play it from memory to a salon of 100.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33And they might take it on and play it
0:21:33 > 0:21:35and take it on and on.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41The song we sing here, brother, I mean it to be played forever.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44CRIES OF PAIN
0:21:50 > 0:21:52There is your music.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55DOOR OPENS
0:22:00 > 0:22:01She was calling.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- I will come. - For you, Sire.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Protocol demands that he stays...
0:22:07 > 0:22:09At least that's always been his excuse.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15WHISPERS: It's been confirmed - it's poison.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20So it is confirmed.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Poison.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Are there English diplomats at court?
0:22:27 > 0:22:28In Paris.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Sir Thomas Armstrong, Sire. Throckmorton remained in England.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34We must assume that word will reach Paris tonight,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36reaching Sir Thomas Armstrong in the morning
0:22:36 > 0:22:38and with him to London the next day.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41When King Charles hears that his beloved sister has been poisoned
0:22:41 > 0:22:45in France, there is only a matter of hours before a declaration of war.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48A war they cannot afford to win.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53My mind also moves in a separate area, Sire.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Should Philippe lose his wife,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02then a power shift might emerge from her death.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06How could that be?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Henriette's very existence strengthens your position.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11It keeps your brother's power in check
0:23:11 > 0:23:13and offers a direct connection to England.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17It unfortunately follows that her absence would weaken you
0:23:17 > 0:23:18in every possible way.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19My King.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Madame de Clermont conspired against the king
0:24:35 > 0:24:39and she gave me the names of all those who shared her allegiance.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I only knew her in passing.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44But you knew she had malevolent intent.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45It might have escaped your notice,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48but everyone in this building has malevolent intent,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50though only a few actually act on it.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Why did you return to us at court?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59I became aware of a threat to Her Highness,
0:24:59 > 0:25:02and I thought it was my duty as a noble
0:25:02 > 0:25:05and as a steadfast and true friend of the King to inform him.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10I find that hard to believe.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Although I would imagine, should Her Highness pass away
0:25:15 > 0:25:19and you were found wanting, such as your lack of judgment
0:25:19 > 0:25:23concerning the late Madame de Clermont...
0:25:23 > 0:25:25And what judgment would that be?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28I believe you were seen together a few times
0:25:28 > 0:25:30walking in the gardens.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35But then again, card tables are always so full of idle gossip.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Who would seek to harm Her Highness Henriette?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Whoever harms her, harms the King.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Your question misses the question.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50You are wondering who, despite his grace and glory,
0:25:50 > 0:25:52might yet plot against His Majesty.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58I have an idea if you are interested.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Go on.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04It has been my experience that it is only those closest
0:26:04 > 0:26:08to a man who can inflict the greatest pain.
0:26:08 > 0:26:13When we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18When we are far away, we must make him believe we are near.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I saw angels.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34When we are the King's enemy,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37we must make him believe we are his friend.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43What is it like to have a king as a father?
0:26:43 > 0:26:46The same as any father, I expect.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51He will be glad to hear you are improving,
0:26:51 > 0:26:53but it is one thing to ride for pleasure,
0:26:53 > 0:26:55quite another to train for war.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00How would you like to play a game?
0:27:00 > 0:27:01A game of war?
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Precisely.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Before you speak to me,
0:27:08 > 0:27:12I would suggest you speak to the King.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I am His Majesty's eyes and ears, Monsieur Louvois.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16I speak to whomever I like.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18I know this is true.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20I'm merely suggesting you might save some time.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Did you have any interactions with Her Highness Henriette
0:27:24 > 0:27:26on her mission to Dover?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28No, I did not.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30But you were not convinced of the merits in the plan?
0:27:30 > 0:27:35No, I was not, and I made my opinions clear to the king.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Do you ever agree with His Majesty's ideas?
0:27:38 > 0:27:42I agree with most of his ideas, sir.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43Hmm...
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Why, then, are the utterances that emanate from your mouth
0:27:47 > 0:27:49so loudly critical of the King?
0:27:49 > 0:27:50Because I ask him to do so.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Sire.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58You are diligent, Fabien, but in this case, quite mistaken.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02The King has asked me to assume the role of critic and conspirator.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Attracting the flies to the paper.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Oh, there are those that complain at some time or another,
0:28:12 > 0:28:16but those that truly move against the King are becoming known to me.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18This is a task you yourself excel in, Fabien,
0:28:18 > 0:28:22but I prefer to maintain two springs from which to draw my water.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24You are both the angels at my shoulder.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Now let's find this poison toad and skin him.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44Sire, wait.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Do you remember you once made a request of me
0:28:49 > 0:28:51to see the faces of those who killed the Parthenays?
0:28:53 > 0:28:55I believe I might deliver him to you now.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Did you deal these cards?
0:29:08 > 0:29:09You are a cheater.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11HE LAUGHS
0:29:34 > 0:29:35Clear the room!
0:29:39 > 0:29:40Not you, Montcourt.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Seal the doors. No-one enters.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00My prayers have been with Her Highness all day, Sire.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Do you think God will hear you?
0:30:03 > 0:30:05I don't know, Sire. Of course.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11What about the angels?
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- The angels? - Do you see them now?
0:30:21 > 0:30:23I do not, Sire.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26I have heard many say they see angels before they die.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Charlotte de Parthenay, for example...
0:30:43 > 0:30:46..and many others killed on my road.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49Members of my court...
0:30:51 > 0:30:54..and even attempts on my own life.
0:30:55 > 0:31:00And now Her Highness, my beloved Henriette, lies dying.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03I am sure I do not know what you mean, Sire.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05And that makes you a liar, Montcourt.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08No, Sire, I'm a friend.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12I am a true friend of the King.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14And when we are the King's enemy,
0:31:14 > 0:31:17we must make him believe we are his friend.
0:31:18 > 0:31:19Right?
0:31:21 > 0:31:23You are a fool.
0:31:23 > 0:31:24And you, a murderer!
0:31:26 > 0:31:27You have the wrong man, Sire.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29I let a wolf back into my barn!
0:31:31 > 0:31:33I saved Her Highness from certain death.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36You used her to find my favour!
0:31:36 > 0:31:39You burned her stomach with a poison!
0:31:39 > 0:31:40What?
0:31:40 > 0:31:41No, I do not seek to harm.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42Lies!
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Good idea. Kill him, then me and blame it on him -
0:32:32 > 0:32:34that's exactly what I would be thinking.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36But your first strike would have to be true,
0:32:36 > 0:32:39and that is the problem you face, Montcourt -
0:32:39 > 0:32:41you have never been a man who is true.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Today, you get the chance to kill a king.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26Your Majesty...
0:33:37 > 0:33:38Guards!
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Haha! Position one, two, three.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03HE MIMICS GUNSHOT
0:34:05 > 0:34:06You're dead, sir!
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Mercy, My Lord, mercy.
0:34:40 > 0:34:41Do you remember our fort?
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Which one?
0:34:45 > 0:34:46The first one we ever played in.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51100 years ago,
0:34:51 > 0:34:53or 20, I suppose.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01When we came here for a visit -
0:35:01 > 0:35:04you, me, Henriette.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06We were taking the air with our governess,
0:35:06 > 0:35:08and we made a break for freedom.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11You went north, I went south and she went west,
0:35:11 > 0:35:13and by the time they'd righted themselves,
0:35:13 > 0:35:15we'd found our way down by the mill stream
0:35:15 > 0:35:17and then down by the promontory.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22God knows the wolves might've taken us but...
0:35:22 > 0:35:23what did we know?
0:35:25 > 0:35:27We were young,
0:35:27 > 0:35:30cats with nine lives.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34We found an old building, a sorry shack made out of stone and moss.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40You wanted to make it your castle,
0:35:40 > 0:35:43but I said, "Let's make it our fort."
0:35:43 > 0:35:46For once in your life, you played along.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49We defended our position from the Spanish all morning
0:35:49 > 0:35:52and in honour of your distinguished service...
0:35:54 > 0:35:56She was the one that found it, actually.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01A yellow Spanish topaz buried in the mud.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07We awarded it to you for bravery
0:36:07 > 0:36:11in the days when it was only you who truly had my back,
0:36:11 > 0:36:13like only a brother can.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21I was so proud of you
0:36:21 > 0:36:23and so was she.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29It felt like if the whole world came running for us,
0:36:29 > 0:36:32we might fend off all who would take us ill.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Hold on to this moment, I told you.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41Never forget.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Not that you'd remember.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34Sire.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49She will not survive the poison.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57How long does she have?
0:37:57 > 0:37:59I do not know.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01But it is her wish to see you both.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07I'm so deeply sorry, Your Majesty, Your Highness.
0:38:12 > 0:38:17She has asked to be carried to the garden,
0:38:17 > 0:38:21so that she might be surrounded by her favourite flowers.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22Then do so.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26It would cause her too much pain.
0:38:26 > 0:38:27It would torture her to move.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35Bring the garden here.
0:39:05 > 0:39:06Is there a breeze today?
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Is there anything more beautiful
0:39:13 > 0:39:15than the scent of blossom in the air?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18There is.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19I'm looking at her now.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22I'm scared.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28There is nothing to fear.
0:39:29 > 0:39:30How do you know?
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Do you remember before you were born?
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Then how can you be scared?
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Can you feel my skin?
0:39:53 > 0:39:54So cold.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02I am sorry...
0:40:04 > 0:40:06..I could never love you well.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10You did the best you could.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16How handsome you both are.
0:40:19 > 0:40:20Oh, God.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24It hurts so much to breathe.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26Lift your head.
0:40:26 > 0:40:27Make it go away.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Now the pillow.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34You move the pillow, I'll lift her head.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43KNOCK AT DOOR
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Get him out.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53- Henriette...- I will not hear it.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Something for the pain!
0:40:56 > 0:40:58HE PRAYS IN LATIN
0:40:58 > 0:41:00SHE CHOKES
0:41:07 > 0:41:08Her throat is closing.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09Open it up. Open it!
0:41:09 > 0:41:11- Brother... - Something must be done.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Let me live.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Please.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28My sweet.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Let me bathe in the lake, feel the sun.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Let me feel the sun upon me.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Oh, Lord, receive me.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Can you hear that? The flowers...
0:41:55 > 0:41:56They are singing.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00MONCOURT: 'You are a fool.'
0:43:10 > 0:43:13'When we are the king's enemy, we must make him believe
0:43:13 > 0:43:16'we are his friend, make him believe we are near.
0:43:16 > 0:43:21'His friend... Those closest to a man who can inflict the greatest pain.
0:43:21 > 0:43:22'You are a fool.
0:43:22 > 0:43:23'His friend...'
0:44:57 > 0:44:59We're leaving
0:44:59 > 0:45:01and we're never coming back.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15SHE SOBS
0:45:41 > 0:45:43I cannot permit it.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50I'm not asking for permission.
0:45:50 > 0:45:51I'm leaving.
0:45:54 > 0:45:56You would defy me even in this moment?
0:45:56 > 0:45:57I know what this moment is.
0:46:02 > 0:46:03We are grieving.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07I grieve alone.
0:46:08 > 0:46:09You will marry again.
0:46:09 > 0:46:11I simply want to live.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13- It is your duty. - I have had my fill of duty.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17Then you set yourself against me.
0:46:23 > 0:46:24Gladly.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28And sacrifice your future to see me suffer?
0:46:35 > 0:46:37What does a king know of sacrifice?
0:47:02 > 0:47:04HEARTBEATS
0:47:13 > 0:47:15KNOCK ON DOOR
0:47:15 > 0:47:16Lord Rohan?
0:47:38 > 0:47:39You are injured.
0:47:39 > 0:47:41Listen to me.
0:47:41 > 0:47:43There are only two men in this court who move freely
0:47:43 > 0:47:46between the outside world and the King's inner circle,
0:47:46 > 0:47:48but only one who has never raised a single voice against him.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50The King's brother?
0:47:50 > 0:47:54He is a critic, but there is another who has lain hidden before us.
0:47:54 > 0:47:55Rohan.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58You told us Montcourt was to blame.
0:47:58 > 0:47:59He has killed many, but not her.
0:48:01 > 0:48:03How can you be so sure?
0:48:03 > 0:48:04The King once told me.
0:48:04 > 0:48:08He warned me quite clearly that his enemies would seek to destroy
0:48:08 > 0:48:10those closest to him.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12Montcourt tried to tell me the same.
0:48:12 > 0:48:15We must get the King, the Queen and yourself to safety at once.
0:48:15 > 0:48:16Oh, my.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18What? What is it?
0:48:20 > 0:48:23The King's son, the Dauphin.
0:48:23 > 0:48:27Rohan took him riding.
0:48:27 > 0:48:29No. On whose word?
0:48:29 > 0:48:31Call the guard.
0:48:31 > 0:48:32Call the guard!
