The first 200 lines.
Previously on "Reign"... Do you love her more than us?
Do you, mother?
What are you doing here?
You cannot stay at court.
Narcisse has nothing on either of you, not any more.
Run him through for treason against his king.
Jacob: Assassins managed to enter the castle.
Protestant assassins? Tell me we didn't fund
An assassination on our king!
They said
That you were untouched. I lied.
I was raped.
This is my fault.
Find the men who did this to me and kill them.
Take as many as the dungeon can hold.
Leave the rest chained up outside
Till we can find a place for them.
All the roads are sealed off.
These men were caught trying to flee.
What of the man called severin?
His lands are deserted
But I'm having them watched day and night.
Who saw him? Who heard him called by name?
One of the guards.
I'll question him. Maybe he knows something else.
No, I already did. The one name was all that he overheard.
Guard: Move along. Question everyone
And anyone who might know this man severin.
Use any means necessary--
The rack, the wheel, I don't care. Francis,
You seem shaken, but they failed.
You're all right.
Mary is all right.
There is nothing small about an attack on the king.
Of course.
What about narcisse? Did you get to him?
No. No, he disappeared.
But I will find him.
Condé. I was going to visit my brother
In navarre, but I turned back
As soon as I heard the news. Where's mary?
She's fine-- getting some much-needed rest.
Thank god.
Francis, you must know my loyalty lies with you.
I do. But you're also a protestant.
You know the leader of this movement.
If he is behind this, he will be found and hanged.
And if he wasn't, he needs to cooperate,
Help us find the conspirators.
I'll try to find him.
What's mary doing here?
She's looking for her rapist.
And if you don't catch him, that's what she'll be doing
For the rest of her life--
In every room and in every crowd.
Mary...
I'm sorry.
Please come inside.
He's not here. But all of these men
Will be questioned and one of them will lead us to him.
And the other men, too.
The ones who stood there
And would have done the same to me, or worse.
Yes.
Mary, it would be foolish of me to ask you
To try not to think about it,
But I urge you to get some rest.
I can't close my eyes without seeing them.
And the next hours are crucial--
Every minute that passes makes their capture less likely.
They won't get away.
I will find the men responsible. They could be
Miles away by now. It doesn't matter where they are,
Mary, I will hunt them to the ends of the earth.
(fast tempo acoustic intro playing)
Castleroy: Where are you going?
Morning mass.
Come with me. Greer, I go to services now, not mass.
After all that's happened? It was the act
Of a small group of violent radicals.
You gave money and they used it to fund their crimes.
I gave money for a school.
What difference does it make?
If your involvement comes to light,
You will hang for treason.
They tried to kill our king.
You must separate yourself from this faith
And you must do it immediately.
I can't do that.
You are going down a dangerous path
And you are dragging me with you.
I beg of you:
Change course.
What can I do for you?
Are you cold?
I'll fetch you a blanket.
I should have known those weren't our guards.
Mary, you were startled in the dead of night.
There were three armed men against you.
Please don't torment yourself.
I'm so sorry that this happened.
That my choices brought this violence into our home.
Don't blame yourself for the actions of evil people.
We've disagreed about tolerance, but
You were just doing what you believed was right,
What you thought was best for France.
No.
I wasn't doing what I believed was right
Or what I thought was best.
I made choices...
Under pressure from another.
I was being blackmailed.
Blackmailed? For what?
I killed my father at the joust.
He was a threat to France, to you.
Oh, my god.
It was regicide.
Francis, who found out the truth?
Narcisse.
All the hard-line choices
Favoring catholics,
All the violence that you allowed...
Why didn't you tell me what he was doing to you?
Because if it ever came to light...
...You needed to be able to deny any knowledge
Or involvement-- I couldn't let you be implicated
For what I did.
I kept thinking that I'd find a way out,
But things got so bloody, so awful, and...
The lies and mistakes
Kept piling up.
Till last night--
I found a way out.
I found montgomery.
Where is he?
You killed him. I had to.
I have done terrible things to protect us.
And I have lied to you
Time and time again, to protect you.
Protect me?
I know the events of last night can never be undone,
But they will pay with their lives.
I will kill them.
Every last person who brought us to this.
And once they're gone, we will come back from this.
And I will never let anyone hurt you again.
francis,
You need to come outside.
It's freezing. You can't leave us out here.
When the sun goes down, we'll die-- take us inside!
More prisoners are coming in, but the dungeons are filling up.
They're right-- it's too cold,
Many won't survive the night.
Many here didn't survive the last.
Guards and servants were killed,
And they got in because they thought us vulnerable.
Against the wall!
I wanted to be one kind of king,
And then I was forced to be another.
Now I can't go back.
Francis... What is needed now
Is a king to be feared.
And not just for the prisoners, but for all of France,
And, by god, I will give them one.
So that this never happens again.
Let them freeze.
Thank you. Mary, they told us
You were in your old chambers.
Why are they moving your things in?
I'm going to be staying here for a while.
Why? It's because
Of the attacks last night. Um...
I can't stay in my old rooms anymore.
Well, they told us you were fine, that your
Guards were killed, but the men fled before they could get in.
Uh, that was a lie I told.
And one you will have to tell, too.
The truth is...
Those men broke into my chambers
And I was raped.
Dear god...
I'm-I'm still in some pain and I'd prefer not to be touched.
They beat me and one held me down while the other...
These men--
Were they captured?
Uh, no, they got away.
He got away.
So I will be staying here,
Under guard, for a while.
I cannot hear any talk of an heir,
At all, not from you, not from anyone.
Not until I'm sure that any pregnancy,
Any child isn't...
Of course. We'll make sure
No one asks.
I'm not ashamed of what happened to me.
I was wronged by
Evil men, but this was an act of war
And hatred against the monarchy,
Which is why no one can ever know. Mary...
