Mary Queen of Scots (2013)

1
00:01:11,292 --> 00:01:14,333
<i>Elizabeth, my dear cousin,</i>

2
00:01:15,708 --> 00:01:18,542
<i>this will be the last of my unsent letters.</i>

3
00:01:20,333 --> 00:01:23,667
<i>Tomorrow there will no longer
be two queens in England.</i>

4
00:01:25,583 --> 00:01:30,750
<i>Ye'! I find I bear you no grudge;
rather 6 am filled with a deep compassion.</i>

5
00:01:32,208 --> 00:01:35,333
<i>I know you are as powerless
to change your role,</i>

6
00:01:36,417 --> 00:01:38,708
<i>as I have been to change mine.</i>

7
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:01,667
L am frightened, Your Majesty.

8
00:02:06,667 --> 00:02:08,375
Don't be.

9
00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:14,667
I thank you for staying with me.

10
00:03:00,792 --> 00:03:03,583
I'm not going to let them take you.
I will protect you.

11
00:03:04,750 --> 00:03:07,000
For you must be allowed
to have your own life.

12
00:03:08,083 --> 00:03:10,042
You will be the queen,

13
00:03:10,458 --> 00:03:12,167
they never let me be.

14
00:03:35,708 --> 00:03:39,125
<i>When I think back 44 years ago in Scotland,</i>

15
00:03:40,042 --> 00:03:43,542
<i>I realize neither of us
had an easy start in life.</i>

16
00:03:47,250 --> 00:03:49,333
<i>I could barely move my tiny hands,</i>

17
00:03:50,125 --> 00:03:53,292
<i>yet politics was already clawing
at my unsuspecting soul.</i>

18
00:04:01,250 --> 00:04:03,542
Pay attention,
give me your hand.

19
00:04:04,250 --> 00:04:05,750
Hold your dress.

20
00:04:07,375 --> 00:04:09,083
Concentrate, keep your head up,

21
00:04:09,375 --> 00:04:10,458
look straight ahead.

22
00:04:16,458 --> 00:04:18,167
Very good, Marie.

23
00:04:31,750 --> 00:04:35,042
<i>I don”! know what you
remember of your childhood,</i>

24
00:04:36,333 --> 00:04:38,292
<i>but' mine was not' a
very settled upbringing.</i>

25
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:41,625
<i>As you must know</i>

26
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,542
<i>your father was so determined
I should marry his sickly son</i>

27
00:04:48,667 --> 00:04:50,958
<i>he sent troops to ransack my country.</i>

28
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:57,625
<i>$0 many Scots lost their lives
in my rough wooing as an infant queen.</i>

29
00:05:07,167 --> 00:05:10,125
<i>When I was being carted
from one stronghold to another,</i>

30
00:05:10,583 --> 00:05:14,417
<i>sometimes I couldn't tell whether
what I was seeing was real or a nightmare.</i>

31
00:05:34,042 --> 00:05:35,417
Farewell, my child,

32
00:05:36,667 --> 00:05:39,708
and may God grant you safe passage
to a more peaceful land.

33
00:05:46,542 --> 00:05:48,083
They will protect you.

34
00:06:08,583 --> 00:06:10,417
You are feverish again.

35
00:06:11,167 --> 00:06:14,958
That's good, my dear,
the fever will take away your fear!

36
00:06:17,208 --> 00:06:21,792
<i>The only way my mother could protect me
was to dispatch me overseas.</i>

37
00:06:23,167 --> 00:06:25,833
<i>Overnight' my destiny changed.</i>

38
00:06:37,042 --> 00:06:41,250
<i>I was no longer to be Queen of England,
bu'! Queen of France,</i>

39
00:06:42,042 --> 00:06:44,083
<i>packed off like precious merchandise</i>

40
00:06:44,292 --> 00:06:47,542
<i>to spend a lifetime with
another mysterious bridegroom.</i>

41
00:06:49,042 --> 00:06:51,292
<i>It's lucky for you I took that' boat'.</i>

42
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,125
<i>If I'd have stayed,</i>

43
00:06:53,458 --> 00:06:56,542
<i>you wouldn't be sifting
on the English throne today.</i>

44
00:07:17,458 --> 00:07:18,417
What is your name?

45
00:07:24,167 --> 00:07:24,917
Well...

46
00:07:31,958 --> 00:07:33,333
But which one is the Queen?

47
00:07:34,667 --> 00:07:36,125
You choose.

48
00:09:13,375 --> 00:09:14,417
Look!

49
00:09:16,583 --> 00:09:18,667
I can kill just by moving my finger.

50
00:09:50,333 --> 00:09:51,542
Come back.

51
00:09:52,958 --> 00:09:55,000
Come and look!

52
00:10:07,333 --> 00:10:08,208
<i>News</i>

53
00:10:10,208 --> 00:10:11,375
news from England

54
00:10:13,708 --> 00:10:14,958
Queen Mary Tudor

55
00:10:15,542 --> 00:10:16,250
What?

56
00:10:17,833 --> 00:10:18,750
She is dead.

57
00:10:20,667 --> 00:10:22,000
My cousin Elizabeth...

58
00:10:24,792 --> 00:10:25,958
She is Queen now...

59
00:10:29,792 --> 00:10:31,250
I just know.

60
00:10:47,250 --> 00:10:48,417
Elizabeth?

61
00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:51,750
What?

62
00:10:55,625 --> 00:10:56,667
Over there?

63
00:10:59,208 --> 00:11:01,208
What's up, who's that?

64
00:11:01,750 --> 00:11:03,333
L am the Queen.

65
00:11:04,083 --> 00:11:04,958
What?

66
00:11:05,458 --> 00:11:07,583
That's impossible.
Lam the Queen.

67
00:11:09,167 --> 00:11:11,208
L am Queen of France...

68
00:11:14,292 --> 00:11:17,833
You should have said so right away.
I'm Queen of England, delighted.

69
00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:22,042
And I am also
Queen of Scotland...

70
00:11:24,333 --> 00:11:27,083
Well, my dear,
you're in France.

71
00:11:28,375 --> 00:11:29,625
And there you will stay.

72
00:11:31,333 --> 00:11:32,583
Why do you laugh?

73
00:11:32,875 --> 00:11:35,292
Because, actually,
I intend to come.

74
00:11:35,542 --> 00:11:37,625
- Where?
- To England, stupid!

75
00:11:38,667 --> 00:11:40,167
Oh, no you won't!

76
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:41,250
Will!

77
00:11:41,833 --> 00:11:42,708
Won't!

78
00:11:43,292 --> 00:11:44,250
Will!

79
00:11:45,292 --> 00:11:46,417
Won't!

80
00:11:47,292 --> 00:11:48,417
Will!

81
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,833
I thought we were cousins.

82
00:11:53,792 --> 00:11:55,917
Which of these cousins
is most inflamed?

83
00:11:56,542 --> 00:11:58,333
I will reply to her immediately.

84
00:11:58,958 --> 00:12:01,250
We will be the best sisters
in the world.

85
00:12:02,458 --> 00:12:03,833
I shall send her
my portrait, too.

86
00:12:04,542 --> 00:12:07,417
Better yet, let me go and
meet her in person. - No.

87
00:12:08,167 --> 00:12:09,833
- We understand each other,
she and I.

88
00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:12,125
We are like twins.

89
00:12:16,417 --> 00:12:17,750
This will not do.

90
00:12:26,833 --> 00:12:31,667
You cannot address her as Queen.
That woman is a bastard.

91
00:12:32,125 --> 00:12:34,458
Even if she were,
she is my cousin.

92
00:12:35,625 --> 00:12:39,417
Mary have you forgotten what the English
have done to your country?

93
00:12:40,167 --> 00:12:41,750
They burned and destroyed it.

94
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,833
It is frightful to think that
I was the cause of a war.

95
00:12:45,708 --> 00:12:50,958
Do not succumb to your
womanly instincts and kindness,

96
00:12:51,958 --> 00:12:55,167
do not let them cloud
your reason.

97
00:12:56,583 --> 00:13:00,625
There can be no dialogue
with that...

98
00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:03,583
that pretender to the Throne.

99
00:13:04,792 --> 00:13:09,417
When she dies, you shall be
the English Queen.

100
00:13:10,875 --> 00:13:12,458
Why should she die?

101
00:13:17,042 --> 00:13:17,792
You see

102
00:13:19,958 --> 00:13:24,083
You and you alone can restore
the true faith in that blasphemous land.

103
00:13:27,167 --> 00:13:29,625
Carrying three crowns
is a grave responsibility,

104
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,667
but impossible as long as
that illegitimate heretic is alive.

105
00:13:34,042 --> 00:13:35,542
She has to go.

106
00:13:48,792 --> 00:13:51,208
I will not crush her,
I will win her over.

107
00:14:05,250 --> 00:14:07,792
<i>Elizabeth, my dear sister,</i>

108
00:14:08,750 --> 00:14:10,792
<i>now England has two Queens.</i>

109
00:14:12,208 --> 00:14:14,000
<i>A delightful conundrum.</i>

110
00:14:15,708 --> 00:14:19,833
<i>But not everyone here approves
of me consorting with a foreign power.</i>

111
00:14:21,250 --> 00:14:22,292
<i>I have been advised</i>

112
00:14:22,458 --> 00:14:26,375
<i>that my claim for the English crown
is based on legitimate descent.</i>

113
00:14:27,333 --> 00:14:28,208
<i>Accordingly,</i>

114
00:14:28,667 --> 00:14:32,083
<i>I am having the English coat of arms
added to my royal portraits.</i>

115
00:14:32,625 --> 00:14:34,625
<i>You need not' fear for your person.</i>

116
00:14:35,458 --> 00:14:37,542
<i>I have no wish to disturb you.</i>

117
00:14:39,083 --> 00:14:41,500
<i>But if you do ever respond to me,</i>

118
00:14:42,042 --> 00:14:47,667
<i>you should address me as Queen of
France, Scotland and England.</i>

119
00:15:18,417 --> 00:15:19,625
What an enchanting voice.

120
00:15:19,958 --> 00:15:21,042
You are charming.

121
00:15:21,708 --> 00:15:23,042
You make me tremble.

122
00:15:24,667 --> 00:15:27,167
- Come up and join us.
- Oh, yes come up.

123
00:15:48,083 --> 00:15:48,583
Wait.

124
00:16:25,083 --> 00:16:26,125
That hurts.

125
00:16:37,042 --> 00:16:40,083
Tomorrow I will join the hunt.

126
00:16:41,458 --> 00:16:42,833
Isn't it a little too early?

127
00:16:43,583 --> 00:16:45,125
I feel strong again.

128
00:16:46,083 --> 00:16:48,667
For the first time this year,
I will lead the hunt.

129
00:16:49,750 --> 00:16:50,542
For you!

130
00:18:21,958 --> 00:18:24,375
<i>No, my dear cousin,</i>

131
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:29,250
<i>I will no'! disappear
in a nunnery and wither away.</i>

132
00:18:30,375 --> 00:18:33,542
<i>I am confident
that I still have a life to discover.</i>

133
00:18:35,333 --> 00:18:38,833
<i>You of all people will appreciate
that once born a queen,</i>

134
00:18:39,292 --> 00:18:41,792
<i>one must be a master
of one 's own destiny.</i>

135
00:18:43,667 --> 00:18:49,083
<i>Lf I can no longer be Queen of France,
l am still and will remain Queen of Scots.</i>

136
00:21:09,667 --> 00:21:10,667
Yes, I know.

137
00:27:50,375 --> 00:27:52,000
Let us sing our song, Rizzio.

138
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,375
It's so cold here and my subjects
seem to hate their Queen.

139
00:28:30,583 --> 00:28:32,458
That is because your subjects
don't know their Queen yet and

140
00:28:32,833 --> 00:28:35,500
the Queen has to get used
to sharper blades.

141
00:28:36,250 --> 00:28:37,958
How does my cousin do it?

142
00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:39,083
How?

143
00:28:39,875 --> 00:28:42,833
You cannot simply behead
everyone who contradicts you!

144
00:28:43,333 --> 00:28:46,750
I could throw Knox into the dungeons,
but that would merely make matters worse.

145
00:28:47,667 --> 00:28:50,292
Tolerance can easily be
misinterpreted, Your Majesty.

146
00:28:54,208 --> 00:28:55,248
At least you're beautiful.

147
00:28:56,125 --> 00:28:57,417
She is really ugly, they say.

148
00:28:57,583 --> 00:29:00,000
Even if they do write erotic
Sonnets about her...

149
00:29:00,708 --> 00:29:03,125
No wonder! She has no husband,
but countless lovers!

150
00:29:03,958 --> 00:29:06,417
And she's seven inches
shorter than you are.

151
00:29:07,333 --> 00:29:08,542
Poooor her.

152
00:29:20,875 --> 00:29:21,417
Look,

153
00:29:23,333 --> 00:29:24,583
it's crooked.

154
00:29:25,458 --> 00:29:28,458
And me, do you remember
when I fell into the fountain.

155
00:29:29,750 --> 00:29:31,625
And look at my bump

156
00:29:32,375 --> 00:29:33,250
That's nothing.

157
00:29:33,500 --> 00:29:35,458
And me,
I have a birthmark right here.

158
00:29:40,292 --> 00:29:41,125
That's nothing.

159
00:29:42,250 --> 00:29:43,208
Mine is worse.

160
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:44,958
Come closer.

161
00:29:51,625 --> 00:29:55,042
My heart and my pride have just been
stabbed by this rabble-rouser.

162
00:30:10,167 --> 00:30:12,708
<i>I'm frightened, dear cousin.</i>

163
00:30:19,667 --> 00:30:22,625
<i>Why do men of god seem
so afraid of women?</i>

164
00:30:24,167 --> 00:30:28,583
<i>(an we not have a twin kingdom,
with two sisters on twin thrones,</i>

165
00:30:28,833 --> 00:30:31,083
<i>putting an end to all the bloodshed?</i>

166
00:30:32,167 --> 00:30:34,583
<i>Protestants and Catholics living in peace,</i>

167
00:30:35,208 --> 00:30:37,375
<i>guided by the example
of our sisterly unify.</i>

168
00:34:38,458 --> 00:34:41,625
Oh, I wish I'd seen her face to face.
Touch her hands

169
00:34:43,583 --> 00:34:45,144
What does she really
look like, De Croc?

170
00:34:45,500 --> 00:34:48,542
Believe me, she is as curious
about you as you are about her.

171
00:34:49,167 --> 00:34:51,125
Of course she is, she must be.

172
00:34:52,208 --> 00:34:54,292
Do tell her not to fear
coming to Scotland,

173
00:34:54,625 --> 00:34:55,917
It's not that bad, after all.

174
00:34:58,792 --> 00:35:00,625
Does she really bathe
in warm milk?

175
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,250
Is it true she has bad breath?

176
00:35:02,458 --> 00:35:04,083
They say she beats her lovers.

177
00:35:04,333 --> 00:35:05,958
Is it true
she wears no underwear?

178
00:35:06,167 --> 00:35:07,500
And can't have children?

179
00:35:07,833 --> 00:35:10,625
Off you go, ladies, we wish
to discuss political matters.

180
00:35:11,125 --> 00:35:13,792
I promise to divulge more gossip later.

181
00:35:24,167 --> 00:35:27,833
Could you perhaps suggest the prospect
of a meeting between the two Queens?

182
00:35:28,958 --> 00:35:33,333
She extends to you any help you may need
in making preparations for a future match.

183
00:35:34,333 --> 00:35:35,292
Oh, does she?

184
00:35:37,208 --> 00:35:40,000
I wonder who she will
recommend to be my husband.

185
00:35:42,292 --> 00:35:44,500
What of her empty matrimonial bed,
your Majesty?

186
00:35:44,833 --> 00:35:46,958
At least, you know
what it's like to be married.

187
00:35:55,375 --> 00:35:56,708
<i>My dear cousin,</i>

188
00:36:00,542 --> 00:36:04,667
<i>I'm delighted to hear you are interested
in the possibility of me marrying again.</i>

189
00:36:05,958 --> 00:36:09,917
<i>I 'm rather excited at the prospect
of receiving a queue of young suitors.</i>

190
00:36:14,042 --> 00:36:17,417
<i>Alas, I seem to lack
the good fortune to meet any man</i>

191
00:36:17,708 --> 00:36:20,792
<i>capable of stirring my blood
or touching my heart.</i>

192
00:36:23,417 --> 00:36:26,292
<i>But I sense adventurous times ahead.</i>

193
00:36:47,625 --> 00:36:50,750
My brother arrives early.
I thought him still in England.

194
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,833
Take charge of them, Rizzio!
I will take care of Darnley.

195
00:39:45,083 --> 00:39:46,500
Am I not right?

196
00:39:47,625 --> 00:39:50,333
Have I not the right
to choose whoever I want.

197
00:39:53,083 --> 00:39:54,417
I, too, shall be free,

198
00:39:55,542 --> 00:39:57,375
free to stand by my own choices.

199
00:43:57,083 --> 00:43:58,042
<i>Oh my dear sister,</i>

200
00:43:59,750 --> 00:44:03,750
<i>I must confess I'm not completely
satisfied with my new husband.</i>

201
00:44:04,833 --> 00:44:06,917
<i>I'm worried about his extreme views.</i>

202
00:44:08,833 --> 00:44:14,625
<i>I assure you that I will curb his
fanatical plots against your kingdom.</i>

203
00:44:16,083 --> 00:44:21,292
<i>Likewise I hope I can count on you
to disarm my treacherous lords</i>

204
00:44:21,833 --> 00:44:24,667
<i>and stifle their fanatical
plots against me.</i>

205
00:44:26,542 --> 00:44:30,000
<i>The heir to both of our kingdoms
is growing safely within me</i>

206
00:44:31,292 --> 00:44:34,000
<i>and we must not' (e? anyone harm him.</i>

207
00:45:15,750 --> 00:45:19,333
If you support the Protestant church
financially, that will demonstrate

208
00:45:19,458 --> 00:45:21,625
- tolerance.
- And you will appease them.

209
00:45:21,750 --> 00:45:23,833
Above all, it will heal
this country's wounds.

210
00:46:19,500 --> 00:46:22,000
It would be unwise
to provoke her at this stage.

211
00:46:22,542 --> 00:46:24,917
Don't tell me how
to communicate with my cousin!

212
00:50:30,500 --> 00:50:31,750
<i>Little one...</i>

213
00:50:33,667 --> 00:50:35,000
<i>Don'? be frightened.</i>

214
00:50:36,375 --> 00:50:37,625
<i>Mama will do everything</i>

215
00:51:16,833 --> 00:51:19,833
<i>lam a prisoner now, dear cousin.</i>

216
00:51:22,542 --> 00:51:25,375
<i>Cannot believe this is happening to me.</i>

217
00:51:27,958 --> 00:51:30,333
<i>The child of this traitor
is growing within me</i>

218
00:51:30,667 --> 00:51:33,042
<i>and I do no'! know
how to bring it to safety.</i>

219
00:54:33,750 --> 00:54:35,667
How will I know
when I'm really in labour?

220
00:54:35,875 --> 00:54:36,750
You will know.

221
00:54:37,833 --> 00:54:38,542
You will know.

222
00:54:38,875 --> 00:54:40,125
You will know.

223
00:54:49,750 --> 00:54:51,917
- Should I call Lord Darnley?
- Certainly not.

224
00:58:21,625 --> 00:58:25,958
<i>How can I possibly maintain a pose
as serene and confident as you,</i>

225
00:58:27,417 --> 00:58:30,458
<i>when inside I feel like screaming?</i>

226
00:58:33,333 --> 00:58:37,500
<i>You cannot know what it feels like
to be a mother surrounded by vipers.</i>

227
00:58:39,708 --> 00:58:42,125
<i>Maybe you are right' never to marry.</i>

228
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,792
<i>My dearest sister,
we must work together</i>

229
00:59:05,875 --> 00:59:08,750
<i>since the birth of my son
is a chance for both of us.</i>

230
00:59:09,833 --> 00:59:11,417
<i>It is truly our son,</i>

231
00:59:12,083 --> 00:59:16,292
<i>since the future of our one day
united kingdoms rests on his shoulders.</i>

232
01:00:49,458 --> 01:00:51,792
I want you to know
that I love you.

233
01:01:10,500 --> 01:01:14,083
You can be absolutely certain that
the future King will be in good hands.

234
01:06:58,458 --> 01:07:03,000
<i>I was hit by the the sudden realization
that he's always been right by my side.</i>

235
01:07:05,167 --> 01:07:06,583
<i>I've wasted so much time,</i>

236
01:07:08,583 --> 01:07:10,417
<i>but must it now be too late?</i>

237
01:07:12,083 --> 01:07:16,667
<i>Oh, no, it must be stopped immediaiely,
that way spells disaster.</i>

238
01:08:24,500 --> 01:08:26,958
<i>In my end will be my beginning.</i>

239
01:14:52,708 --> 01:14:56,458
This country is torn
between two faiths.

240
01:14:58,417 --> 01:15:00,167
This will foster
yet more ill-will,

241
01:15:01,542 --> 01:15:04,625
more misfortune and discord.

242
01:15:07,458 --> 01:15:08,250
Idiot.

243
01:18:47,500 --> 01:18:53,833
<i>All the years I longed to touch your hands
and all l get is a lump of gold.</i>

244
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:40,625
You look splendid, De Croc.

245
01:19:43,417 --> 01:19:47,708
<i>My apologies for these severe words
of disappointment my dear Elizabeth.</i>

246
01:19:48,542 --> 01:19:51,417
<i>I find myself consumed
with an immense sadness,</i>

247
01:19:53,042 --> 01:19:56,417
<i>though the Royal baptism should he
the occasion for great joy.</i>

248
01:19:56,792 --> 01:20:01,208
<i>If you were here, you would see
l put on a good show.</i>

249
01:20:03,833 --> 01:20:07,417
<i>I do not think anyone in Scotland
has seen anything like I'?!</i>

250
01:20:08,417 --> 01:20:09,657
<i>Everything has turned out well.</i>

251
01:20:10,583 --> 01:20:13,667
<i>I have a healthy son
and a secure future.</i>

252
01:20:14,708 --> 01:20:19,042
<i>Yet the woman within me
is not satisfied.</i>

253
01:20:22,458 --> 01:20:26,417
<i>I'm besieged by a new force
that I do not know how to meet.</i>

254
01:20:28,250 --> 01:20:30,375
<i>Should I surrender or should I resist?</i>

255
01:20:38,792 --> 01:20:40,208
Can I count on my ancestors?

256
01:20:46,292 --> 01:20:48,708
Much depends
on the gardeners you choose.

257
01:20:50,250 --> 01:20:52,375
A poor choice can ruin your plantation.

258
01:20:54,792 --> 01:20:58,792
Keep that in mind and your
young apple tree shall flourish.

259
01:25:10,500 --> 01:25:12,958
<i>Never has it been like this before.</i>

260
01:25:14,625 --> 01:25:19,000
<i>I have found something
i never dared hope for.</i>

261
01:25:20,458 --> 01:25:24,167
<i>I know everyone will turn
against me and condemn me.</i>

262
01:25:25,333 --> 01:25:26,792
<i>Don't call it sin.</i>

263
01:25:29,042 --> 01:25:31,583
<i>It is true I conceived
a child with my husband</i>

264
01:25:32,458 --> 01:25:34,333
<i>but' nothing has prepared me for this,</i>

265
01:25:35,583 --> 01:25:36,542
<i>a new realm,</i>

266
01:25:37,875 --> 01:25:40,500
<i>where lam transformed
info something wondrous.</i>

267
01:26:23,333 --> 01:26:25,750
I've always had to make
my own decisions

268
01:26:28,417 --> 01:26:30,917
and act on my own instincts.

269
01:26:35,708 --> 01:26:40,083
You're not alone any more,
I dare say, Your Majesty.

270
01:26:45,167 --> 01:26:47,583
I've been waiting all my life
for a man like you.

271
01:27:18,458 --> 01:27:21,833
<i>For him I have risked
dignity and conscience,</i>

272
01:27:24,167 --> 01:27:27,458
<i>For his sake I have come to regard
my friends as less than nothing.</i>

273
01:27:30,292 --> 01:27:32,625
<i>For his sake I would fain
renounce the world,</i>

274
01:27:32,875 --> 01:27:35,542
<i>I would gladly die
that he might rise.</i>

275
01:28:22,625 --> 01:28:25,458
<i>It pleases me to see my husband suffer.</i>

276
01:28:26,833 --> 01:28:30,417
<i>His very being has repelled
me for so long now.</i>

277
01:28:32,500 --> 01:28:35,000
<i>But how can a wife
get rid of a husband?</i>

278
01:28:36,750 --> 01:28:40,583
<i>How can I ask you that,
my dear cousin?</i>

279
01:28:41,625 --> 01:28:44,417
<i>I am compelled
to play the dutiful nurse,</i>

280
01:28:44,833 --> 01:28:49,083
<i>surrounded by a fetid smell
that arises not just from his sickness,</i>

281
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:52,833
<i>but from the wicked thoughts
that plague me.</i>

282
01:34:27,458 --> 01:34:28,792
What are you going to do now?

283
01:34:29,958 --> 01:34:30,917
I don't know.

284
01:34:37,583 --> 01:34:41,417
Careful - the people want
to punish you for what you've done.

285
01:34:43,417 --> 01:34:46,250
I haven't done anything.
Believe ne.

286
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:50,417
Everything feels so tight!

287
01:34:52,750 --> 01:34:53,750
I'm suffocating.

288
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:01,375
Some deeds are done
by doing nothing.

289
01:35:05,583 --> 01:35:07,417
Is it such a sin, Rizzio?

290
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:13,250
I'm pregnant.

291
01:37:59,292 --> 01:38:02,333
<i>I know you must resent
my sudden marriage,</i>

292
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:06,667
<i>but surely you will appreciate
that a pregnant queen</i>

293
01:38:06,958 --> 01:38:09,000
<i>must he married
to the father of her child.</i>

294
01:38:09,292 --> 01:38:12,000
<i>You cannot imagine
the anger and desperation</i>

295
01:38:12,292 --> 01:38:16,292
<i>I feel to have my new husband blamed
for the murder of my previous one,</i>

296
01:38:19,750 --> 01:38:22,708
<i>but I can declare that we are
innocent a hundred times</i>

297
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:26,125
<i>and there will still be slanderous
voices condemning us.</i>

298
01:39:22,375 --> 01:39:24,167
You are not leaving too,
my friend?

299
01:39:25,292 --> 01:39:27,417
Urgent business
takes me to France.

300
01:39:28,708 --> 01:39:32,667
Listen, I know my decision to marry
a Protestant displeases you.

301
01:39:33,708 --> 01:39:36,500
But we must remain true to ourselves.
Haven't you taught me that?

302
01:39:37,042 --> 01:39:40,375
Alas, once the wrong gardener
has begun his digging,

303
01:39:41,333 --> 01:39:42,625
there's little that can be done.

304
01:45:40,708 --> 01:45:42,750
To fight them would be madness,
Your Majesty.

305
01:45:43,250 --> 01:45:44,833
They vastly outnumber you.

306
01:45:45,250 --> 01:45:46,917
I have no wish to fight them.

307
01:45:47,333 --> 01:45:50,500
They must submit to the Royal Lion and
there will be peace again in Scotland.

308
01:45:57,458 --> 01:45:59,500
The Lords send you this, Your Majesty.

309
01:46:06,417 --> 01:46:07,667
They are your sworn enemies.

310
01:46:08,250 --> 01:46:11,500
There will be no single combat,
no negotiations, only surrender.

311
01:46:18,875 --> 01:46:21,417
You must send him away.
You have no other option.

312
01:46:21,750 --> 01:46:23,417
One tree may yet be spared.

313
01:49:58,250 --> 01:50:00,125
Still living in the past?

314
01:50:01,667 --> 01:50:03,417
It must be spring,

315
01:50:05,125 --> 01:50:05,625
Rizzio.

316
01:50:07,500 --> 01:50:09,667
No, winter!

317
01:50:16,250 --> 01:50:18,167
I get confused nowadays.

318
01:50:19,667 --> 01:50:22,167
I lose count of the springs
and the winters.

319
01:50:22,875 --> 01:50:24,250
There were too many of them.

320
01:50:24,875 --> 01:50:26,458
Too many places, too.

321
01:50:29,833 --> 01:50:31,417
Am I dead, Rizzio?

322
01:50:34,125 --> 01:50:35,667
Has she killed me already?

323
01:50:41,250 --> 01:50:43,792
No, you are right.

324
01:50:45,625 --> 01:50:49,125
L am actually more alive than she is.

325
01:50:52,125 --> 01:50:53,583
Too much waiting.

326
01:50:54,500 --> 01:50:57,958
When all she had to do would have been
to invite me for an informal audience.

327
01:50:58,125 --> 01:51:01,083
How could she invite you
when you wear that crown?

328
01:51:07,542 --> 01:51:09,208
Oh, it's nothing.

329
01:51:09,833 --> 01:51:11,417
I'll just take it off.

330
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:24,542
And just look at your hands.

331
01:51:29,792 --> 01:51:32,583
Oh, never mind, I'll just wipe it off.

332
01:51:39,792 --> 01:51:44,292
She can do it! She can chop
off the crown. The hands

333
01:51:50,667 --> 01:51:54,625
For all these years she has
been reluctant to meet me.

334
01:51:56,250 --> 01:52:00,833
She made me hope and yearn
with all her letters and promises to meet.

335
01:52:03,167 --> 01:52:05,583
But she is the crowned sovereign now,

336
01:52:06,625 --> 01:52:12,333
and I am just a poor woman,
without a crown, a country, a people.

337
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:16,583
I can't bear it any longer

338
01:52:18,458 --> 01:52:20,417
I wish she would kill me.

339
01:52:31,458 --> 01:52:34,125
Two great Queens,
caught in a deadly stalemate.

340
01:52:35,417 --> 01:52:36,583
In an endless purgatory.

341
01:52:37,875 --> 01:52:38,750
No way out,

342
01:52:40,458 --> 01:52:42,083
until one of you fades away.

343
01:52:44,792 --> 01:52:46,458
This could go on forever.

344
01:53:02,042 --> 01:53:02,792
Stay!

345
01:53:04,125 --> 01:53:05,083
Don't go;
