Reign

She's coming.

girl: I've got it!

Sister, sister, sister, pass it down.

Pass it!

Pass it this way.

Nun: Save mary!

Take that plate away!

You must leave immediately.

This was an assassination attempt.

You were nearly poisoned. By who?

Someone with ties to the protestant throne

Of England, no doubt.

They'll be found and dealt with.

Hyah! Hyah!

Poor sister helen; I didn't know...

That she was your taster?

Every meal you've eaten

Has been tasted for poison

Since you left your mother's breast.

Mary, you are the queen of scotland.

look at her.

Girl (whispering): She is beautiful.

I don't know if I'm ready.

To leave here or marry the future king of France?

Both.

I hoped I would get to go back to scotland one last time.

Your friends from scotland will be there.

Girls you've known your whole life.

You're safer in french court.

You're nearly a woman,

And francis is nearly a man.

It's time.

You will wed young francis, someday soon,

For your faith,

For your people,

For scotland.

He will love you.

I'm not sure that matters.

It does to you.

Girl: Mary...

Rose.

Be careful.

There are ghosts there.

At the castle?

They say the halls are filled with them.

Tortured souls,

A girl whose face is a ruin.

She hides it.

I was at french court before, you know,

When I was your age.

I didn't see any ghosts.

But what if they saw you?

Guard: Your grace.

sebastian.

Francis, they were looking for you everywhere.

Tough to find you.

I was riding.

Really? Who?

So, bash, how's the mood?

Father's or the mood in general?

Tense to both.

Planning for your sister's wedding.

Is your mother in there?

No, only royals and their attendants allowed.

But your mother

Is in fine form, god save you.

I'm off now that you're here.

Lucky bastard.

Woman: Mary should be protected.

Hidden. So you've claimed.

You also claimed she needed to be kept at convent

For her education, when we both know

She simply irritated you.

Mary's arrival now upstages

Our daughter's wedding.

It's the perfect occasion

To showcase the alliance with scotland.

Half the continent's royalty will be feeding at our trough.

There are those that say

Too many alliances make a king look weak.

Then why did we sell our daughter to Spain?

I'm told I was needed.

Or should I just come back on my wedding day?

You've chosen my wife; have you set the date, too?

Here's the date: When I say so.

Or England turns its sword

In our direction.

She's on her way.

Mary stuart, you mean.

I heard. You don't sound

Very enthusiastic.

You were playmates once.

She had skinny legs,

A missing front tooth and strong opinions.

I'm sure the adult tooth has come in.

The opinions you can ignore.

Isn't that right, catherine?

Her ladies-in-waiting are on their way as well.

Three titled, the other ridiculously rich.

Just your type.

At least your bride has a country

And an army, should you need it.

I may not have been born with a crown,

But this country relies on my money.

let him talk like a king.

your wedding won't happen

Until I say so.

I'm on your side.

Always.

I know.

That's disgusting.

Where she puts it, he won't smell it.

Unless he's a very good husband.

Imagine that.

You do want elisabeth to bear sons.

Oh, as soon as possible.

Or what is a wife's value?

But what about my son francis?

What do your visions say about his future?

Tell me, nostradamus, what have you seen?

I-I've had fleeting images,

But as yet, their meaning is unclear.

Perhaps if you were more specific

About your concerns.

Well, will he love her?

Will she love him?

How do I control a daughter-in-law

Who's a queen in her own right?

Is that what bothers you?

Her power?

Mm. Or the fact that she's young

And pretty?

I've just had a vision.

I see you,

Beheaded, at my command.

Said with gratitude

For the secrets we share.

Be patient.

Answers will come.

There she comes.

(excited, indistinct conversations)

There's mary.

mary!

We missed you so much!

Oh, kenna,

Greer, lola,

I'm so happy to see you.

Aylee, we're all together again.

Oh, mary, your hair.

Didn't the nuns teach you anything?

Oh, greer, those can't all be clothes.

There's jewelry and silver, too.

I'm making up in volume for what I lack in station, I suppose.

Look, here they come.

Guard: His royal highness,

King henry ii. There's the king.

That's king henry,

But is that catherine?

No, they're still waiting on her.

That's diane de portiers, the king's mistress.

So the rumors are true.

Lola: Unlike her,

You'll have no trouble finding husbands here.

We'll certainly enjoy the hunt.

What about you?

Oh, don't tell me.

It's about that boy from aberdeen.

Colin said he'd wait for me.

Till when?

We might never be back on scottish soil,

Not if it all works out and mary reigns here.

What do you mean, "if"?

Make no mistake, we're here now
