Reign

Previously on "Reign"...

They believe I'm blessed and took me in.

How did you heal that woman's son?

You saved someone at a cost to another.

Not always.

Many times, there are no consequences.

Who left those marks on your face?

She earns every mark she gets.

You are hereby stripped of your title.

I want to live. There could be a price.

You are free to be with Conde,

But I can't control my mother's appetite for vengeance.

You are my choice, and this is our moment.

Promise me that when the day comes, we'll get on that boat,

And you'll leave all this all behind. Yes.

Francis, you must stop her for both of your sakes.

Francis? Francis!

The vision. Nostradamus's vision.

He saw how francis died.

It's all coming true.

Catherine: Why won't his ear stop bleeding?

Is there nothing you can do for him?

It's the infection.

Until his body overcomes the disease,

It will keep pushing blood into the ear.

What if he can't?

Will he never stop bleeding?

Will he never wake up?

Tell me the truth.

Well, if he can't overcome it,

If his fever won't break, and soon,

The king will die.

(fast tempo acoustic intro playing)

What is it?

I can't believe I'm here with you.

That you're mine.

Yes, I am.

But...?

Do I sense regrets?

No. No regrets.

You helped me find myself again.

Part of myself I thought I'd lost.

Why do I feel like a servant

Who's located some missing earring for you?

Don't be like that, louis.

I love you. You must know that.

You've risked your life and your future for me time and again.

You turned down elizabeth, the chance to be a king for me.

I know that you feel my husband's presence

While we're here in France,

But soon we'll be gone, in scotland together.

I promise.

Well, then,

The sooner we get back, the sooner we'll be on our way.

Lola, what's wrong?

It's francis.

He fell terribly ill last night.

How? Tell me everything.

Apparently, he collapsed.

He was burning up and fell into unconsciousness.

He hasn't woken. Is it an infection?

Are they worried he has

Some kind of brain fever?

I don't know,

But everyone's very worried.

Then I must go to him.

Welcome back.

What is this place?

Where I live and work sometimes.

When I'm not with the nuns.

You cleaned my wound.

Stitched it myself.

You're lucky that blade stuck you where it did.

A few inches difference...

Well, even my gift has its limits.

Was it your gift... Or your medicine that healed me?

I saved your life.

Does it matter that much to you how?

Yes, it does.

Was I awake when you healed me?

I saw my wound, delphine.

I should have died.

Do you wish you had?

You didn't when I found you.

All you did was beg for the pain to stop.

I just want to know

What the price will be and who will pay it.

If there is an answer to that, I don't know it.

The rules are unwritten.

There's no way to know for sure

If or when a price will be paid, or by whom.

I'm sorry.

Where's my shirt?

Where do you think you're going?

To find the man who tried to kill me.

He's already been caught.

What?

There were witnesses to your argument in the village.

Loyal people who fear the king and his deputy.

Go there and confirm his guilt.

You will see your enemy hang.

Mary: Can he hear us?

No.

The physician was asking how the king seemed before he collapsed.

He says it could help him treat francis.

Was he eating? Did he seem weak?

How was he sleeping?

You don't know the answers, do you?

Knowing a husband's well-being--

That's a wife's job.

And you have chosen

Not to be a wife to my son. Catherine...

Where were you last night, mary, when the king collapsed?

I was away from the castle to...

I know about you and Conde.

Do you know what told me

That your infidelity was fact and not rumor?

The look of pain on my son's face when he lied for you.

To protect the woman that he loved more than anything.

We had come to an agreement.

I doubt that agreement included you abandoning your marriage

And running off to scotland.

Yes, I know about that, too.

So does francis.

The truth of your betrayal was the last thing that he heard

Before he collapsed.

Oh, I'm sorry. Am I upsetting you?

Should I not have suggested that you did this to him?

Because you make no mistake-- this is on your head.

Nostradamus always said

That you would be the cause of my son's death.

I never imagined that you would

Kill him by breaking his heart.

Don't know if you can hear me,

But please know, wherever you are,

I am so sorry for the pain we've caused each other.

I want you to live.

Please, please live.

That's a good look for you.

You going somewhere?

Yes, thank goodness,

And leaving this rat trap behind.

I've rented a townhouse not far from here,

And it's rather grand.

A grand townhouse?

How did you get the money?

The business is growing, leith, and it will grow even more

Once I give it the right setting.

A brothel.

The lease came up, and I took it.

I only just have enough money for the first week's rent,

But there's a group of rich merchants arriving in town,

And if I can get them there for a party I'm throwing tonight,

I will make a killing,

And the business will be off and running.

But if you didn't need to do any of this,

If we could get an annulment and marry

And start a family,

Would you not want to leave all this behind?

Leith... We've been over this.

It's not possible.

What if it was?

What if I told you that I have a very powerful friend

Who could help us?

I only have to do a few tasks for him.

What tasks?

They'd have to be dangerous tasks,

Or they wouldn't be worth such a favor.

Leith, I never asked you for this.

Because you don't want it?

I want what I have.

A man I love,

Not a man I have to depend on.

Catherine: Mary, a word.

It's as I feared.

Rumors of the king's health have started

To spread through the castle.

If news of his condition should fall into the wrong hands...

The throne room is full of potential threats--

Lords, diplomats, all waiting for francis.

I'm afraid I can't hide the truth from my face.

Catherine, wait. Don't!

Please listen.

We may never know what caused francis's illness.

If I'm as responsible as you say,

I will never forgive myself.

So let me do this one thing for you.

I will talk to the advisors.

You go back to francis.

When he wakes up, he would rather see your face than mine.

Mary.

I'm so sorry.

Is there anything I can do? There is.

Find bash.

If these are the final hours,

Bash needs to say good-bye to his brother.

Gentlemen.

I'm sorry you've been kept waiting.
