That's the way.

00:03:59,626 --> 00:04:02,584
Come on, my son!

19
00:04:04,501 --> 00:04:07,084
Have you found religion, Henry?

20
00:04:07,209 --> 00:04:11,292
Will you look down from heaven
and see who's sitting on your throne?

21
00:04:11,417 --> 00:04:14,209
I must know before I die.

22
00:04:14,334 --> 00:04:18,667
There's a legend of a king called Lear,
with whom I have a lot in common.

23
00:04:18,792 --> 00:04:21,751
Both of us have kingdoms
and three children we adore,

24
00:04:21,876 --> 00:04:24,542
and both of us are old.
But there it ends.

25
00:04:24,667 --> 00:04:28,084
He cuts his kingdom into bits.
I can't do that.

26
00:04:28,209 --> 00:04:31,417
I've built an empire
and I must know it's going to last.

27
00:04:31,542 --> 00:04:34,917
All of Britain, half of France -
I'm the greatest power in 1,000 years

28
00:04:35,042 --> 00:04:37,292
and after me comes John.

29
00:04:44,459 --> 00:04:47,376
I'm going to lose you, Henry, aren't I?

30
00:04:47,501 --> 00:04:48,834
Alais!

31
00:04:48,959 --> 00:04:54,084
In my time, I've known contessas,
milkmaids, courtesans,

32
00:04:54,209 --> 00:04:59,542
novices, whores, gypsies, jades
and little boys,

33
00:04:59,667 --> 00:05:04,792
but nowhere in God's western world
have I found anyone to love but you.

34
00:05:06,542 --> 00:05:09,584
- And Rosamund.
- She's dead.

35
00:05:10,584 --> 00:05:14,251
- And Eleanor.
- The new Medusa, my good wife?

36
00:05:15,542 --> 00:05:19,709
- How is your queen?
- Decaying, I suppose.

37
00:05:19,834 --> 00:05:25,251
No, don't be jealous of the gorgon.
She is not among the things I love.

38
00:05:25,376 --> 00:05:29,209
How many husbands do you know
who dungeon up their wives?

39
00:05:29,334 --> 00:05:32,334
I haven't kept the great bitch in the keep
for ten years

40
00:05:32,459 --> 00:05:34,501
out of passionate attachment.

41
00:05:36,334 --> 00:05:39,001
That's Captain Marshall. William!

42
00:05:41,959 --> 00:05:44,542
We'll be holding
Christmas court at Chinon.

43
00:05:44,667 --> 00:05:47,126
We've asked
the king of France to join us.

44
00:05:47,251 --> 00:05:50,876
I want Richard there and Geoffrey.
Go find my boys and tell them.

45
00:05:51,626 --> 00:05:54,376
Then go fetch the queen
from Salisbury tower.

46
00:05:54,501 --> 00:05:56,834
- If the queen refuses?
- Eleanor?

47
00:05:57,834 --> 00:06:00,167
She wouldn't miss this for the world.

Father wants to see me.

66
00:10:30,251 --> 00:10:32,167
Your Majesty?

67
00:10:34,709 --> 00:10:37,084
There's to be a Christmas court.

68
00:10:37,834 --> 00:10:39,959
Yes, madam.

69
00:10:40,084 --> 00:10:41,792
Where?

70
00:10:41,917 --> 00:10:44,042
At Chinon.

71
00:11:47,376 --> 00:11:51,251
Henry, what if, just for once,
I didn't do as I was told?

72
00:11:51,376 --> 00:11:56,126
It's going to be a jungle of a day.
If I start growling now, I'll never last.

73
00:11:56,667 --> 00:11:58,334
You'll last.

74
00:11:58,459 --> 00:12:02,001
You're like the rocks at Stonehenge -
nothing knocks you down.

75
00:12:07,084 --> 00:12:11,167
In these rooms, Alais, on this Christmas,
I have all the enemies I need.

76
00:12:11,292 --> 00:12:13,792
- You have more than you think.
- Are you one?

77
00:12:15,334 --> 00:12:17,626
Has my willow turned to poison oak?

78
00:12:18,459 --> 00:12:21,709
If I decided to be trouble, Henry,
how much trouble could I be?

79
00:12:21,834 --> 00:12:23,376
Not much.

80
00:12:24,334 --> 00:12:27,251
- I could give away your plans.
- You don't know what they are.

81
00:12:27,376 --> 00:12:30,084
- I know you want to disinherit Richard.
- So does Eleanor.

82
00:12:30,209 --> 00:12:32,376
She knows young Henry's dead.

83
00:12:32,501 --> 00:12:34,959
The young king died in summer
and I haven't named an heir.

84
00:12:35,084 --> 00:12:37,834
She knows I want John on the throne,
and I know she wants Richard.

85
00:12:37,959 --> 00:12:39,376
We're frank about it.

86
00:12:39,501 --> 00:12:42,709
Henry, I can't be your mistress
if I'm married to your son.

87
00:12:42,834 --> 00:12:46,001
- Why can't you? Johnny wouldn't mind.
- I do not like your Johnny.

88
00:12:46,126 --> 00:12:49,459
- He's a good boy.
- He's got pimples and smells of compost.

89
00:12:49,584 --> 00:12:53,417
- He's just 16. He can't help the pimples.
- He could have a bath.

90
00:12:55,126 --> 00:12:58,042
It isn't such a dreadful thing
to be queen of England.

91
00:12:58,167 --> 00:13:00,167
Not all eyes will weep for you.

92
00:13:00,292 --> 00:13:02,251
- Will yours?
- I don't know.

93
00:13:03,334 --> 00:13:05,501
Very likely.

94
00:13:05,626 --> 00:13:07,584
All I want is not to lose you.

95
00:13:08,501 --> 00:13:10,334
Can't you hide me?

96
00:13:10,459 --> 00:13:12,709
- Can't I simply disappear?
- No you can't.

97
00:13:12,834 --> 00:13:15,167
Your little brother Philip's
king of France now.

98
00:13:15,292 --> 00:13:18,292
He wants your wedding
or your dowry back.

99
00:13:18,417 --> 00:13:21,542
I only took you for your dowry,
you were seven -

100
00:13:21,667 --> 00:13:24,667
two big knees and two big eyes
and that's all.

101
00:13:24,792 --> 00:13:27,876
How was I to know?

102
00:13:32,042 --> 00:13:33,626
Hey.

103
00:13:33,751 --> 00:13:36,084
- What's the matter, lad?
- Nothing.

104
00:13:57,417 --> 00:13:58,876
Geoff!

105
00:13:59,751 --> 00:14:01,084
Johnny.

106
00:14:01,209 --> 00:14:04,167
Is that for me? I love Christmas!

107
00:14:10,251 --> 00:14:14,417
What difference does my dowry make?
Let Philip have it back. It isn't much.

108
00:14:14,542 --> 00:14:16,251
I can't.

109
00:14:16,376 --> 00:14:18,834
The Vexin is a little county,
but it's vital to me.

110
00:14:18,959 --> 00:14:21,167
And I am not?

111
00:14:21,292 --> 00:14:24,751
It's been my luck to fall in love
with landed women.

112
00:14:24,876 --> 00:14:27,584
When I married Eleanor,
I thought, "You lucky man!

113
00:14:27,709 --> 00:14:30,292
"The richest woman in the world,
she owns the Aquitaine,

114
00:14:30,417 --> 00:14:34,042
"the greatest province in the continent,
and beautiful as well."

115
00:14:35,334 --> 00:14:38,959
- She was, you know.
- And you adored her.

116
00:14:39,084 --> 00:14:42,709
Memory fails.
There may have been an era when I did.

117
00:14:44,292 --> 00:14:48,626
Let's have one strand askew. Nothing
in life has any business being perfect.

118
00:14:51,876 --> 00:14:56,126
If I say, "You and I are done,"
we're done.

119
00:14:56,251 --> 00:14:59,292
If I say, "Marry John," it's John.

120
00:15:00,542 --> 00:15:05,417
I'll have you by me
and I'll use you as I like.

121
00:15:16,917 --> 00:15:22,959
Ah, Christmas! Warm and rosy time.
The hot wine steams, the yule log roars.

122
00:15:23,084 --> 00:15:26,126
And we're the fat that's in the fire.
She'll be here soon, you know.

123
00:15:26,251 --> 00:15:27,501
- Who?
- Mother.

124
00:15:27,626 --> 00:15:31,667
- Does she still want you to be king?
- We're not as friendly as we used to be.

125
00:15:31,792 --> 00:15:34,542
If I'm supposed to make a fuss
and kiss her hairy cheek, I won't.

126
00:15:35,542 --> 00:15:37,792
What you kiss, little prince,
is up to you.

127
00:15:37,917 --> 00:15:40,376
I'm father's favourite,
that's what counts.

128
00:15:40,501 --> 00:15:44,292
You hardly know me, Johnny,
so I beg you to believe my reputation.

129
00:15:44,417 --> 00:15:48,459
I am a constant soldier,
a sometime poet and I will be king.

130
00:15:48,584 --> 00:15:51,209
Just you remember,
father loves me best.

131
00:15:51,334 --> 00:15:54,501
Why John?
John doesn't care for you at all.

132
00:15:54,626 --> 00:15:58,417
- We love each other deeply.
- None of them has any love for you.

133
00:15:58,542 --> 00:16:01,042
Because we fight?

134
00:16:01,167 --> 00:16:06,376
Tell me all three want the crown and
I'll tell you it's a feeble prince that doesn't.

135
00:16:06,501 --> 00:16:10,709
They may snap at me and plot and
that makes them the kind of sons I want.

136
00:16:12,126 --> 00:16:14,084
I've snapped and plotted all my life.

137
00:16:14,209 --> 00:16:18,542
There's no other way to be a king,
alive and 50 all at once.

138
00:16:18,667 --> 00:16:21,334
- I'm going to fight for you.
- Oh, fine.

No, greet me as you used to.

157

And Richard, don't look sullen dear.

It makes your eyes go small and piggy
and your chin look weak.

162
00:19:29,792 --> 00:19:33,126
Geoffrey.

163
00:19:33,251 --> 00:19:35,417
- Is Philip here yet?
- Not yet.

164
00:19:35,542 --> 00:19:39,459
Let's hope he's grown up like his father -
Simon pure and Simon simple.

165
00:19:39,584 --> 00:19:44,001
Good, good Louis. If I had managed sons
for him instead of all those little girls,

166
00:19:44,126 --> 00:19:46,542
I'd still be stuck
with being queen of France

167
00:19:46,667 --> 00:19:49,334
and we should
not have known each other.

168
00:19:49,459 --> 00:19:52,542
Such, my angels,
is the role of sex in history.

169
00:19:54,917 --> 00:19:57,167
That will be Philip.

00:19:58,792 --> 00:20:01,751
- Where's Henry?
- Upstairs with the family whore.

171
00:20:01,876 --> 00:20:05,167
Huh! That's a mean and tawdry way
to talk about your fiancée.

172
00:20:05,292 --> 00:20:07,459
<i>- My</i> fiancée.
- Whose ever fiancée.

173
00:20:07,584 --> 00:20:09,709
I brought her up
and she is dear to me and gentle.

174
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:12,792
- He still plans to make John king.
- Of course he does!

175
00:20:12,917 --> 00:20:16,834
My what a greedy little trinity you are!
"King, king, king!"

176
00:20:16,959 --> 00:20:19,042
Two of you must learn
to live with disappointment.

177
00:20:19,167 --> 00:20:22,667
- But which two?
- Let's deny them all and live for ever.

178
00:20:22,792 --> 00:20:25,917
Tusk-to-tusk through all eternity.

179
00:20:27,001 --> 00:20:29,376
Ah, my boys.

180
00:20:29,501 --> 00:20:32,542
The king of France and I will shortly
have a tactile conversation

181
00:20:32,667 --> 00:20:34,667
like two surgeons looking for a lump.

182
00:20:34,792 --> 00:20:37,959
We'll stake positions. I'll make the first
of many offers. He'll refuse it, naturally.

183
00:20:38,084 --> 00:20:41,334
I'll make a better one,
and so on through the holidays until I win.

184
00:20:41,459 --> 00:20:45,084
For the duration of this joyous ritual,
you will give to your father your support.

185
00:21:20,001 --> 00:21:22,001
Hooray!

186
00:21:36,251 --> 00:21:39,167
- My lord!
- Your grace!

187
00:21:40,542 --> 00:21:42,209
Welcome to Chinon.

188
00:21:51,376 --> 00:21:53,959
Ah! That's better!

189
00:21:59,084 --> 00:22:03,001
I was told you were impressive
for a boy of 17.

190
00:22:03,126 --> 00:22:05,209
I'm Eleanor,
who might have been your mother.

191
00:22:05,334 --> 00:22:06,376
Queen Eleanor.

192
00:22:06,501 --> 00:22:09,251
All the others here you know.

193
00:22:09,376 --> 00:22:12,167
I gather you're disturbed
about your sister and her dowry.

194
00:22:12,834 --> 00:22:15,251
16 years ago,
you made a treaty with us.

195
00:22:15,376 --> 00:22:18,167
- It is time its terms were executed.
- I should think so.

196
00:22:18,751 --> 00:22:20,501
Our position comes to this -

197
00:22:20,626 --> 00:22:23,542
that you will either hold the marriage
or return the Vexin.

198
00:22:23,667 --> 00:22:27,501
Alais marries Richard
or we'll have the county back at once.

199
00:22:27,626 --> 00:22:29,917
That's clear,
concise and well presented.

200
00:22:30,042 --> 00:22:34,501
My position -
well, frankly Philip, it's a tangle.

201
00:22:35,126 --> 00:22:38,001
Two years ago, the queen and I,
for reasons passing understanding,

202
00:22:38,126 --> 00:22:40,417
gave the Aquitaine to Richard.

203
00:22:40,542 --> 00:22:42,917
That makes Richard very powerful.

204
00:22:43,042 --> 00:22:47,542
How can I give him Alais, too?
The man she marries has you for an ally.

205
00:22:47,667 --> 00:22:51,834
It's their wedding or the Vexin back.
Those are the terms you made with Louis.

206
00:22:51,959 --> 00:22:54,501
True, but academic, lad.
The Vexin's mine.

207
00:22:54,626 --> 00:22:57,126
- By what authority?
- It's got my troops all over it.

208
00:22:57,251 --> 00:23:00,667
That makes it mine.
Now, hear me boy.

209
00:23:01,917 --> 00:23:06,001
- I am a king. I am no man's boy.
- A king?

210
00:23:06,126 --> 00:23:08,584
Because you put your arse
on purple cushions?

211
00:23:09,292 --> 00:23:10,792
Sir.

212
00:23:10,917 --> 00:23:15,501
Philip! You haven't got
the feel of this at all, lad.

213
00:23:15,626 --> 00:23:18,834
Use all your voices.
When I bellow, bellow back.

214
00:23:20,501 --> 00:23:23,501
- I'll mark that down.
- This, too.

215
00:23:24,667 --> 00:23:27,251
We are the world in small.

216
00:23:27,376 --> 00:23:30,417
A nation is a human thing.
It does what we do for our reasons.

217
00:23:30,542 --> 00:23:34,792
Surely, if we're civilised we can put away
the knives, we can make peace.

218
00:23:34,917 --> 00:23:36,459
We have it in our hands.

219
00:23:36,584 --> 00:23:38,459
I have tutors of my own.

220
00:23:38,584 --> 00:23:40,501
- Will that be all?
- Oh, think.

221
00:23:40,626 --> 00:23:43,376
You came here for a reason. Don't you
want to ask me if I've got an offer?

222
00:23:43,501 --> 00:23:46,501
- Have you got an offer?
- Not yet, but I'll think of one.

223
00:23:46,626 --> 00:23:48,626
Oh, by the way...

224
00:23:50,209 --> 00:23:52,459
You're better at this
than I thought you'd be.

225
00:23:53,459 --> 00:23:55,626
I wasn't sure you'd noticed.

226
00:24:00,376 --> 00:24:03,626
Well, what shall we hang -
the holly or each other?

227
00:24:03,751 --> 00:24:06,792
Would you say, Father,
that I have the makings of a king?

228
00:24:06,917 --> 00:24:08,709
A splendid king.

229
00:24:08,834 --> 00:24:11,376
Would you expect me, Father,
to give up without a fight?

230
00:24:11,501 --> 00:24:14,084
Of course you'll fight.
I raised you to.

231
00:24:14,209 --> 00:24:17,251
I don't care what you offer Philip.
I don't care what plans you make.

232
00:24:17,376 --> 00:24:19,876
I'll have the Aquitaine
and Alais and the crown.

233
00:24:20,001 --> 00:24:22,167
I'll not give up one to get the other.

234
00:24:22,292 --> 00:24:25,417
I won't trade off Alais or the Aquitaine
to that walking pustule.

235
00:24:27,709 --> 00:24:29,709
No, your loving son will not.

236
00:24:30,834 --> 00:24:33,251
- Did you hear what he called me?
- Clearly, dear.

237
00:24:33,376 --> 00:24:35,292
Now, run along.
It's nearly dinner time.

238
00:24:35,417 --> 00:24:37,751
- I only do what Father tells me.
- Go and eat.

239
00:24:37,876 --> 00:24:40,667
Did I say something wrong?
I'm always saying something wrong.

240
00:24:40,792 --> 00:24:42,251
- Don't pout.
- I'm not pouting.

241
00:24:42,376 --> 00:24:44,126
And stand up straight!

242
00:24:47,917 --> 00:24:52,042
- And that's to be the king?
- And I'm to be his chancellor.

243
00:24:52,876 --> 00:24:56,167
Has he told you?
John will rule the country while I run it.

244
00:24:56,292 --> 00:24:59,084
That is to say,
he gets to spend the taxes that I raise.

245
00:24:59,209 --> 00:25:03,084
- How nice for you.
- It's not as nice as being king.

246
00:25:03,209 --> 00:25:05,126
We've made you Duke of Brittany,
is that so little?

247
00:25:05,251 --> 00:25:09,167
No one ever thinks of crown
and mentions Geoff.

248
00:25:09,292 --> 00:25:10,584
Why is that?

249
00:25:10,709 --> 00:25:12,667
Isn't being chancellor power enough?

250
00:25:12,792 --> 00:25:15,876
It's not the power I feel deprived of.
It's the mention I miss.

251
00:25:16,001 --> 00:25:18,459
There's no affection for me here.

252
00:25:18,584 --> 00:25:21,501
You wouldn't think
I'd want that, would you?

253
00:25:27,292 --> 00:25:29,584
- Henry?
- Mmh.

254
00:25:29,709 --> 00:25:32,084
- I have a confession.
- Yeah?

255
00:25:32,792 --> 00:25:35,001
I don't much like our children.

256
00:25:36,584 --> 00:25:40,084
Only you,
the child I raised but didn't bear.

257
00:25:40,209 --> 00:25:43,126
- You never cared for me.
- I did and do, believe me.

258
00:25:43,251 --> 00:25:48,501
Henry's bed is Henry's province.
He can people it with sheep, for all I care.

259
00:25:48,626 --> 00:25:50,584
Which, on occasion, he has done.

260
00:25:51,417 --> 00:25:53,584
Rosamund's been dead
for seven years.

261
00:25:53,709 --> 00:25:57,584
Two months and 18 days.
I never liked her much.

262
00:25:58,292 --> 00:26:00,959
- You count the days?
- I made the numbers up.

263
00:26:01,084 --> 00:26:03,417
He found Miss Clifford
in the mists of Wales

264
00:26:03,542 --> 00:26:06,001
and brought her home
for closer observation.

265
00:26:06,126 --> 00:26:09,584
Liking what he found,
he scrutinised her many years.

266
00:26:09,709 --> 00:26:11,626
He loved her deeply and she him.

267
00:26:11,751 --> 00:26:17,084
And yet, my dear, when Henry had to
choose between his lady and my lands...

268
00:26:17,209 --> 00:26:20,417
There is no sport in hurting me.
It's so easy.

269
00:26:21,542 --> 00:26:24,417
After all the years of loving care,

270
00:26:24,542 --> 00:26:27,751
do you think
I could bring myself to hurt you?

271
00:26:27,876 --> 00:26:31,251
Eleanor, with both hands tied behind you.

272
00:26:36,667 --> 00:26:38,876
She is lovely, isn't she?

273
00:26:43,834 --> 00:26:45,876
Yes, very.

274
00:26:47,334 --> 00:26:52,167
Who could I have chosen to love
to gall you more?

275
00:26:52,292 --> 00:26:54,292
There's no one.

276
00:26:54,417 --> 00:26:57,584
- Time hasn't done a thing but wrinkle you.
- Hasn't even done that.

277
00:26:57,709 --> 00:27:02,251
I've borne six girls, five boys
and 31 connubial years of you.

278
00:27:02,376 --> 00:27:05,376
- How am I possible?
- There are moments when I miss you.

279
00:27:05,501 --> 00:27:07,209
- Many?
- Do you doubt it?

280
00:27:07,334 --> 00:27:09,376
That's my woolly sheepdog!

281
00:27:09,501 --> 00:27:12,667
So, wee Johnny gets the crown?

282
00:27:12,792 --> 00:27:15,126
I've heard it rumoured,
but I don't believe it.

283
00:27:15,251 --> 00:27:17,959
Losing Alais will be hard,
for you do love her.

284
00:27:18,084 --> 00:27:21,251
It's an old man's last attachment,
nothing more.

285
00:27:24,917 --> 00:27:27,709
How hard do you find
living in your castle?

286
00:27:28,834 --> 00:27:32,376
It was difficult in the beginning,
but that's passed.

287
00:27:32,501 --> 00:27:35,334
I find I've seen the world enough!

288
00:27:35,459 --> 00:27:37,626
I'll never let you loose.

289
00:27:39,042 --> 00:27:43,001
- You led too many civil wars against me.
- And I damn near won the last one.

290
00:27:43,126 --> 00:27:46,667
Still, as long as
I get trotted out for Christmas courts

291
00:27:46,792 --> 00:27:49,167
and state occasions now and then!

292
00:27:50,417 --> 00:27:52,501
For I do like to see you.

293
00:27:53,584 --> 00:27:55,334
That's enough.

294
00:27:59,042 --> 00:28:01,626
- I'm famished. Let's go in to dinner.
- Arm-in-arm.

295
00:28:01,751 --> 00:28:03,751
And hand-in-hand.

296
00:28:05,876 --> 00:28:09,001
You're still a marvel of a man.

297
00:28:09,751 --> 00:28:11,792
And you're my lady.

298
00:28:23,667 --> 00:28:25,959
It's an odd thing!

299
00:28:26,084 --> 00:28:28,584
I've fought and bargained all these years

300
00:28:28,709 --> 00:28:33,251
as if the only thing I had to live for
is what happened after I was dead.

301
00:28:33,376 --> 00:28:35,876
I have something else to live for now.

302
00:28:36,001 --> 00:28:38,501
I have blundered onto peace.

303
00:28:39,501 --> 00:28:41,459
On Christmas Eve?

304
00:28:41,584 --> 00:28:46,251
Since Louis died, while Philip grew,
I've had no France to fight.

305
00:28:46,376 --> 00:28:50,084
And in that lull, I've found
how good it is to write a law

306
00:28:50,209 --> 00:28:56,376
or make a tax more fair or sit in judgement
to decide which peasant gets a cow.

307
00:28:58,001 --> 00:29:01,209
I tell you, there is nothing more important
in the world.

308
00:29:02,167 --> 00:29:05,501
And now the French boy's big enough
and I'm sick of war.

309
00:29:10,334 --> 00:29:13,667
Do you still need the Vexin, Henry?

310
00:29:14,667 --> 00:29:17,834
It's as vital as it ever was.
My troops are one day away from Paris.

311
00:29:17,959 --> 00:29:20,584
That's a march of 20 miles.
I must keep it.

312
00:29:20,709 --> 00:29:23,209
Henry, dear,

313
00:29:23,334 --> 00:29:27,667
if Alais does not marry Richard,
I will see you lose the Vexin.

314
00:29:27,792 --> 00:29:31,084
Well, I thought you'd never say it!

315
00:29:31,209 --> 00:29:33,459
I can do it.

316
00:29:33,584 --> 00:29:35,584
You can try.

317
00:29:36,626 --> 00:29:41,042
We have a pack of barons
we should look the loving couple for.

318
00:29:41,167 --> 00:29:43,751
Can you read love in that?

319
00:29:45,001 --> 00:29:47,334
And permanent affection.

320
00:30:06,667 --> 00:30:09,667
My Richard is the next king,
not your John.

321
00:30:10,667 --> 00:30:13,417
I know you, Henry,
I know every twist and bend you've got.

322
00:30:13,542 --> 00:30:16,292
I'll be waiting around each corner for you.

323
00:30:16,417 --> 00:30:18,917
Do you truly care who's king?

324
00:30:19,042 --> 00:30:23,417
- I care because <i>you</i> care so much.
- Don't fight me, Eleanor.

325
00:30:23,542 --> 00:30:26,334
What would you have me do?
Give out, give up, give in?

326
00:30:26,959 --> 00:30:29,209
- Give me a little peace.
- A little?

327
00:30:29,751 --> 00:30:31,334
Why so modest?

328
00:30:31,459 --> 00:30:34,501
How about eternal peace?
Now, there's a thought.

329
00:30:35,334 --> 00:30:39,751
If you oppose me,
I'll strike you any way I can.

330
00:30:54,501 --> 00:30:56,584
- Henry?
- Madam?

331
00:30:57,709 --> 00:30:59,876
Did you ever love me?

332
00:31:00,876 --> 00:31:02,334
No.

333
00:31:03,667 --> 00:31:04,959
Good.

334
00:31:05,084 --> 00:31:07,167
That will make this pleasanter.

335
00:32:19,876 --> 00:32:23,792
Well, I've come.
I'm here. What was it you wanted?

336
00:32:25,209 --> 00:32:27,001
Just to talk.

337
00:32:27,126 --> 00:32:30,042
We haven't been alone,
the two of us, in...

338
00:32:30,167 --> 00:32:33,084
How long is it, lamb, two years?

339
00:32:33,209 --> 00:32:35,542
You look fit.
War agrees with you.

340
00:32:35,667 --> 00:32:39,251
I keep informed. I follow
all your slaughters from a distance.

341
00:32:39,376 --> 00:32:41,459
Do sit down.

342
00:32:41,584 --> 00:32:45,959
Is this an audience, a goodnight hug
with kisses or an ambush?

343
00:32:46,084 --> 00:32:48,459
Let's hope it's a reunion.

344
00:32:48,584 --> 00:32:50,459
Must you look so stern?

345
00:32:50,584 --> 00:32:53,126
I sent for you
to say I want your love again,

346
00:32:53,251 --> 00:32:55,501
but I can't say it to a face like that.

347
00:32:55,626 --> 00:32:58,501
My love, of all things.
What would you want it for?

348
00:32:58,626 --> 00:33:02,334
Why for itself.
What other purpose could I have?

349
00:33:02,459 --> 00:33:04,834
You'll tell me when you're ready to.

350
00:33:04,959 --> 00:33:09,667
I scheme a lot, I know.
I plot and plan.

351
00:33:09,792 --> 00:33:12,709
That's how a queen in prison
spends her time.

352
00:33:13,792 --> 00:33:16,334
But there is more to me than that.

353
00:33:16,459 --> 00:33:19,792
Can't I say I love a son
and be believed?

354
00:33:22,709 --> 00:33:25,084
If I were you, I'd try another tack.

355
00:33:26,084 --> 00:33:29,959
I have no dammed-up floods of passion
for you. There's no chance I'll overflow.

356
00:33:30,084 --> 00:33:34,501
You're a dull boy, dull as plainsong -
lalala forever on one note.

357
00:33:35,542 --> 00:33:38,876
I gave the Church up out of boredom.
I can do as much for you.

358
00:33:39,001 --> 00:33:42,292
You'll never give me up,
not while I hold the Aquitaine.

359
00:33:42,417 --> 00:33:45,792
You think I'm motivated
by a love of hills and dales?

360
00:33:45,917 --> 00:33:47,709
I think you want it back.

361
00:33:47,834 --> 00:33:51,501
You're so deceitful you can't ask for water
when you're thirsty.

362
00:33:51,626 --> 00:33:55,417
We could tangle spiders
in the webs you weave.

363
00:33:55,542 --> 00:33:58,001
If I'm so devious, why don't you go?

364
00:33:58,126 --> 00:34:04,501
Don't stand there quivering in limbo.
Love me, little lamb, or leave me.

365
00:34:06,292 --> 00:34:08,251
Leave you, madam.

366
00:34:09,334 --> 00:34:11,292
With pure joy.

367
00:34:13,417 --> 00:34:18,042
Departure is a simple act. You put
the left foot down and then the right.

368
00:34:18,167 --> 00:34:20,042
- Mother!
- Hush, dear. Mother's fighting.

369
00:34:20,834 --> 00:34:23,792
Father's finished working out
the treaty terms.

370
00:34:23,917 --> 00:34:27,667
How nice.
Where is your father?

371
00:34:31,251 --> 00:34:35,542
Ah, there you are.
Well, have you put the terms to Philip?

372
00:34:35,667 --> 00:34:40,084
Not yet, but I'll be shortly granting him
an audience. I hope you'll all attend.

373
00:34:40,834 --> 00:34:44,209
Are we to know the terms
or would you rather tease us?

374
00:34:44,334 --> 00:34:45,792
Not at all.
The terms are these...

375
00:34:45,917 --> 00:34:47,792
What are you giving to Philip?
What of mine?

376
00:34:47,917 --> 00:34:50,667
- Whatever you've got goes to me.
- What nothing does Geoffrey get?

377
00:34:50,792 --> 00:34:55,001
- My God, boys! You can't all be king.
- All three of us can try.

378
00:34:55,126 --> 00:34:59,251
That's pointless now.
I want you to succeed me, Richard.

379
00:35:00,334 --> 00:35:02,501
Alais and the crown,
I give you both.

380
00:35:03,917 --> 00:35:06,126
I have no sense of humour.
If I did, I'd laugh.

381
00:35:06,751 --> 00:35:09,709
- I mean to do it.
- What about me?

382
00:35:09,834 --> 00:35:12,042
I'm your favourite.
I'm the one you love.

383
00:35:12,167 --> 00:35:14,376
I'm sorry, John,
I can't help myself.

384
00:35:14,501 --> 00:35:16,667
Could you keep anything I gave you?

385
00:35:16,792 --> 00:35:18,834
- Could you beat him in the field?
- You could.

386
00:35:18,959 --> 00:35:20,417
John, I won't be there.

387
00:35:21,001 --> 00:35:24,084
I'm losing, too.
All my dreams for you are lost.

388
00:35:24,209 --> 00:35:25,834
- You've lead me on.
- I never meant to.

389
00:35:25,959 --> 00:35:28,792
- You're a failure as a father!
- I'm sorry, Johnny.

390
00:35:28,917 --> 00:35:32,334
Not yet, but I'll do something terrible
and you'll be sorry then.

391
00:35:32,459 --> 00:35:36,792
Did you rehearse all this,
or are you improvising?

392
00:35:36,917 --> 00:35:41,417
- Good God, woman, face the facts.
- Which ones? We have so many.

393
00:35:42,001 --> 00:35:44,042
Power is the only fact.

394
00:35:44,167 --> 00:35:47,001
How could I keep him from the throne?

395
00:35:47,126 --> 00:35:49,334
He'd only take it
if I didn't give it to him.

396
00:35:49,459 --> 00:35:53,292
No, you'd make me fight for it.
I know you, you'd never give me anything.

397
00:35:53,417 --> 00:35:57,084
True and I haven't. You get Alais and the
kingdom, but I get the thing I want most.

398
00:35:57,209 --> 00:36:00,501
If you're king,
England stays intact - I get that!

399
00:36:00,626 --> 00:36:04,459
It's all yours now - the crown, the girl,
the whole black bloody business.

400
00:36:04,584 --> 00:36:06,751
Isn't that enough?

401
00:36:07,876 --> 00:36:10,709
I don't know who's to be congratulated.

402
00:36:10,834 --> 00:36:13,376
Kings, queens, knights
everywhere you look,

403
00:36:13,501 --> 00:36:15,542
and I'm the only pawn.

404
00:36:15,667 --> 00:36:19,459
I haven't got a thing to lose.
That makes me dangerous.

405
00:36:21,667 --> 00:36:22,917
Poor child.

406
00:36:23,042 --> 00:36:26,167
Poor John.
Who says, "Poor John"?

407
00:36:26,292 --> 00:36:28,584
Don't everybody sob at once.

408
00:36:28,709 --> 00:36:30,876
My God, if I went up in flames

409
00:36:31,001 --> 00:36:33,792
there's not a living soul
who'd pee on me to put the fire out.

410
00:36:34,542 --> 00:36:36,459
Lets strike a flint and see.

411
00:36:37,834 --> 00:36:41,417
You're everything a little brother
dreams of, you know that?

412
00:36:41,542 --> 00:36:44,959
- I used to dream about you all the time.
- Ah, Johnny!

413
00:36:46,376 --> 00:36:49,751
I'll show you, Eleanor.
I've not lost yet.

414
00:36:56,501 --> 00:36:59,917
Well, Mummy,
if you want me, here I am.

415
00:37:02,459 --> 00:37:06,667
- John's lost his chancellor, has he?
- And you've gained one.

416
00:37:06,792 --> 00:37:10,542
It's a bitter thing
your mummy has to say.

417
00:37:10,667 --> 00:37:12,501
She doesn't trust me.

418
00:37:12,626 --> 00:37:14,917
You must know
Henry isn't through with John.

419
00:37:15,042 --> 00:37:19,167
He'll keep the Vexin
till the moon goes blue from cold.

420
00:37:19,292 --> 00:37:23,334
And as for Richard's wedding day,
we'll see the second coming first.

421
00:37:23,459 --> 00:37:26,001
The needlework alone can last for years.

422
00:37:26,126 --> 00:37:28,084
I know.

423
00:37:28,209 --> 00:37:30,542
You know I know.

424
00:37:30,667 --> 00:37:32,709
I know you know I know.

425
00:37:33,459 --> 00:37:36,792
We know Henry knows
and Henry knows we know it.

426
00:37:37,834 --> 00:37:40,042
We're a knowledgeable family.

427
00:37:40,626 --> 00:37:43,876
Will Richard take me for his chancellor
or won't he?

428
00:37:45,167 --> 00:37:46,917
Why are you dropping John?

429
00:37:47,542 --> 00:37:49,917
- Because you're going to win.
- I haven't yet.

430
00:37:50,042 --> 00:37:51,751
You will, with me to help you.

431
00:37:51,876 --> 00:37:54,917
I can handle John.
He'll swallow anything I tell him.

432
00:37:55,042 --> 00:37:57,751
And I'll take him by the hand
and walk him into the trap you set.

433
00:37:57,876 --> 00:38:00,126
You're good.
You're first class, Geoff.

434
00:38:00,251 --> 00:38:04,001
You'd sell John out to me or me to John
or, you can tell me,

435
00:38:04,126 --> 00:38:08,167
have you found some way
of selling everyone to everybody?

436
00:38:08,292 --> 00:38:10,501
Not yet, Mummy,
but I'm working on it.

437
00:38:10,626 --> 00:38:14,834
I don't care who's king,
but you and Henry do.

438
00:38:14,959 --> 00:38:18,459
I want to watch the two of you
go picnicking on one another.

439
00:38:19,542 --> 00:38:21,959
You have a gift for hating.

440
00:38:22,084 --> 00:38:25,126
You're the expert.
You should know.

441
00:38:25,709 --> 00:38:27,376
Dear Lord!

442
00:38:28,209 --> 00:38:30,792
You've loved me all these years.

443
00:38:30,917 --> 00:38:34,667
Oh, well. God forgive me.
I've upset the queen.

444
00:38:34,792 --> 00:38:38,417
- We need you. Help us.
- What? And miss the fun of selling you?

445
00:38:38,542 --> 00:38:40,876
Be Richard's chancellor.

446
00:38:43,959 --> 00:38:45,417
Rot.

447
00:38:51,501 --> 00:38:54,501
Well, that's how deals are made.

448
00:38:55,876 --> 00:38:58,001
We've got him, if we want him.

449
00:38:58,917 --> 00:39:01,667
He'll sell us all, you know,

450
00:39:01,792 --> 00:39:04,501
but only if he thinks
we think he won't.

451
00:39:05,709 --> 00:39:08,917
Why did I have to have
such clever children?

452
00:39:16,084 --> 00:39:18,792
- What's the matter, Richard?
- Nothing.

453
00:39:19,501 --> 00:39:21,917
Its a heavy thing, your nothing.

454
00:39:22,042 --> 00:39:29,042
When I write or send for you or speak
or reach, your nothings come like stones.

455
00:39:29,167 --> 00:39:33,126
- Don't play a scene with me.
- I wouldn't, if I could.

456
00:39:33,251 --> 00:39:37,167
I'm simpler than I used to be.
I had at one time many appetites.

457
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:41,126
I wanted poetry and power
and the young men who create them both.

458
00:39:41,251 --> 00:39:43,501
I even wanted Henry, too,
in those days.

459
00:39:44,834 --> 00:39:48,542
Now, I have only one desire left -
to see you king.

460
00:39:48,667 --> 00:39:51,584
The only thing you want to see
is Father's vitals in a bed of lettuce.

461
00:39:51,709 --> 00:39:54,751
You don't care who wins.
As long as Henry loses, you'd do anything.

462
00:39:54,876 --> 00:39:56,751
You are Medea to the teeth.

463
00:39:56,876 --> 00:40:00,792
Only this is one son you won't use
for vengeance against your husband.

464
00:40:02,834 --> 00:40:05,001
How my captivity has changed you.

465
00:40:06,376 --> 00:40:10,626
Henry meant to hurt me.
He's hacked you up instead.

466
00:40:13,126 --> 00:40:15,709
Men coveted this talon once.

467
00:40:16,667 --> 00:40:20,042
Henry was 18 when we met
and I was queen of France.

468
00:40:20,167 --> 00:40:22,292
He came down from the north to Paris

469
00:40:22,417 --> 00:40:26,792
with a mind like Aristotle's
and a form like mortal sin.

470
00:40:27,751 --> 00:40:30,376
We shattered
the Commandments on the spot.

471
00:40:31,626 --> 00:40:35,251
I spent three months annulling Louis
then in May, in spring,

472
00:40:35,376 --> 00:40:37,709
not far from here we married.

473
00:40:37,834 --> 00:40:41,126
Young Count Henry and his Countess!

474
00:40:41,251 --> 00:40:48,876
But in three years' time I was his queen
and he was king of England, done at 21.

475
00:40:49,626 --> 00:40:52,876
Five years your junior, General.

476
00:40:53,001 --> 00:40:54,709
I can count.

477
00:40:54,834 --> 00:40:57,751
There was no Thomas Becket then
nor Rosamund.

478
00:40:57,876 --> 00:41:01,209
No rivals - only me.

479
00:41:01,334 --> 00:41:09,209
And then, young Henry came and you
and all the other blossoms in my garden.

480
00:41:10,001 --> 00:41:14,667
Yes, had I been sterile, darling,
I'd be happier today.

481
00:41:14,792 --> 00:41:17,584
- Is that designed to hurt me?
- What a waste!

482
00:41:17,709 --> 00:41:20,459
I fought with Henry over who comes next,
who's dawn it is,

483
00:41:20,584 --> 00:41:24,001
which son gets the sunset
and we'll never live to see it.

484
00:41:25,209 --> 00:41:26,459
Look at you.

485
00:41:27,751 --> 00:41:30,084
I loved you more than Henry.

486
00:41:30,917 --> 00:41:33,542
- And it's cost me everything.
- What do you want?

487
00:41:35,167 --> 00:41:38,959
- I want us back the way we were.
- No, that's not it.

488
00:41:39,084 --> 00:41:42,126
All right, then.
I want the Aquitaine.

489
00:41:43,251 --> 00:41:45,001
And that's the mother I remember.

490
00:41:45,126 --> 00:41:48,584
We can win. I can get you Alais,
I can the marriage happen,

491
00:41:48,709 --> 00:41:51,584
but I've got to have the Aquitaine to do it.
I must have it back.

492
00:41:51,709 --> 00:41:53,167
It's mine and I'll never give it up.

493
00:41:53,292 --> 00:41:59,042
Shall I write my will to Richard?
Everything - would you believe me then?

494
00:41:59,167 --> 00:42:01,626
- Where's paper?
- Paper burns.

495
00:42:03,751 --> 00:42:05,542
I love you.

496
00:42:06,167 --> 00:42:08,376
You love nothing.

497
00:42:08,501 --> 00:42:12,251
You're incomplete.
The human parts of you are missing.

498
00:42:13,292 --> 00:42:15,334
You're as dead as you're deadly.

499
00:42:16,376 --> 00:42:17,834
Don't leave me.

500
00:42:22,417 --> 00:42:25,001
You were lovely once.

501
00:42:25,126 --> 00:42:27,084
I've seen the pictures.

502
00:42:27,209 --> 00:42:30,126
Don't you remember how you loved me?

503
00:42:31,042 --> 00:42:35,667
We were always hand-in-hand.
Here's how it felt.

504
00:42:35,792 --> 00:42:39,501
- As hot and coarse as that?
- This won't burn!

505
00:42:39,626 --> 00:42:44,792
I'll scratch a will on this.
"To Richard - everything."

506
00:42:45,542 --> 00:42:47,292
Mother!

507
00:42:49,876 --> 00:42:52,667
- Remember how I taught you numbers?
- Mother.

508
00:42:52,792 --> 00:42:55,042
And the lute and poetry.

509
00:42:55,167 --> 00:42:58,292
See? You do remember.

510
00:42:58,417 --> 00:43:01,751
I taught you dancing, too,
and languages

511
00:43:01,876 --> 00:43:05,917
and all the music that I knew
and how to love what's beautiful.

512
00:43:06,042 --> 00:43:11,209
The sun was warmer then
and we were every day together.

513
00:43:39,626 --> 00:43:43,751
William, tell the French king
I'll see him in the parlour.

514
00:43:44,542 --> 00:43:46,542
- Yes, my lord.
- In half an hour.

515
00:43:47,751 --> 00:43:49,751
Half an hour. Good.

516
00:43:55,834 --> 00:43:59,042
Of course, you know there's
not a word of truth to Henry's terms.

517
00:44:00,834 --> 00:44:02,834
If that's a warning, thank you.

518
00:44:02,959 --> 00:44:05,167
What if it's an offer?

519
00:44:06,501 --> 00:44:11,751
"What if" is a game for scholars.
What if angels sat on pinheads?

520
00:44:14,334 --> 00:44:16,417
What if I were king?

521
00:44:17,584 --> 00:44:19,584
It's your game, Geoff.

522
00:44:20,751 --> 00:44:22,709
You play it.

523
00:44:37,334 --> 00:44:38,667
John.

524
00:44:42,334 --> 00:44:45,626
I made this for Father.
All the pieces work.

525
00:44:45,751 --> 00:44:48,751
- It took months. I'm not a fool.
- I know. Now here's my plan.

526
00:44:48,876 --> 00:44:52,417
I read three languages.
I've studied law.

527
00:44:52,542 --> 00:44:54,251
What plan?

528
00:44:54,376 --> 00:44:57,001
- We've got to make a deal with Philip.
- Why?

529
00:44:57,126 --> 00:45:00,251
- Because you're out and Richard's in.
- What kind of deal?

530
00:45:00,376 --> 00:45:02,042
A war.

531
00:45:02,167 --> 00:45:05,876
If we three join and fight now,
we can finish Richard off.

532
00:45:06,001 --> 00:45:08,584
- You mean destroy him?
- Mmh.

533
00:45:09,834 --> 00:45:11,751
And Mother, too?

534
00:45:11,876 --> 00:45:13,917
And Mother, too.

535
00:45:14,042 --> 00:45:16,751
- Well, do we do it? Is it on?
- I've got to think.

536
00:45:16,876 --> 00:45:20,376
You haven't time.
We are extra princes now.

537
00:45:20,501 --> 00:45:22,751
You know where extra princes go?

538
00:45:25,459 --> 00:45:27,376
Down.

539
00:45:29,459 --> 00:45:33,001
Well, does John want a war
or doesn't he?

540
00:45:33,126 --> 00:45:36,834
Do you? If John asks for your soldiers,
will he get them?

541
00:45:36,959 --> 00:45:39,709
If John wants a war, he's got one.

542
00:45:39,834 --> 00:45:42,584
- John, you hear that?
- I'm still thinking.

543
00:45:42,709 --> 00:45:46,167
Let me help.
It's either Richard on the throne or you.

544
00:45:48,876 --> 00:45:50,751
Do you think we'd win?

545
00:45:53,459 --> 00:45:55,376
I know it.

546
00:46:09,834 --> 00:46:11,376
Henry!

547
00:46:12,959 --> 00:46:14,709
I just don't understand.

548
00:46:14,834 --> 00:46:17,876
I would appreciate
a little quiet confidence.

549
00:46:18,001 --> 00:46:22,126
- I've enough nits picking at me.
- But you promised me to Richard.

550
00:46:22,251 --> 00:46:25,501
Good God,
you don't think I meant it?

551
00:46:25,626 --> 00:46:28,584
So that whole scene,
all you said to John...

552
00:46:28,709 --> 00:46:30,876
You think I'd ever give him up?

553
00:46:31,001 --> 00:46:34,334
When I've mothered him, fathered him
and babied him? He's all I've got!

554
00:46:34,459 --> 00:46:36,584
How often do you people
have to hear it? Every supper?

555
00:46:36,709 --> 00:46:38,834
Should we start the soup
with who we love and who we don't?

556
00:46:38,959 --> 00:46:41,126
I think you like passing me
from hand to hand.

557
00:46:41,251 --> 00:46:43,459
What am I to you, a collection plate?

558
00:46:43,584 --> 00:46:48,084
- Or am I all you've got, like John?
- I've got to get the Aquitaine for John.

559
00:46:48,209 --> 00:46:50,917
I talk people
and you answer back in provinces.

560
00:46:51,042 --> 00:46:54,251
They get mixed up.
What's the Aquitaine to Eleanor?

561
00:46:54,376 --> 00:46:56,334
It's not a province.
It's a way to torture me.

562
00:46:56,459 --> 00:46:59,292
That's why she spent the evening
wooing Richard, wheezing on the coal.

563
00:46:59,417 --> 00:47:03,501
She'll squeeze it out of him.
By God, I'd have loved to eavesdrop!

564
00:47:03,626 --> 00:47:07,959
"I taught you prancing, lamb,
and lute and flute..."

565
00:47:09,751 --> 00:47:14,001
That's marvellous.
It's absolutely me.

566
00:47:14,667 --> 00:47:17,542
I thought as long
as I was coming down, I'd bring them.

567
00:47:17,667 --> 00:47:22,126
- Whatever are you giving me?
- You're such a child! You always ask.

568
00:47:22,251 --> 00:47:24,292
"To Henry."

569
00:47:24,417 --> 00:47:26,334
Heavy.

570
00:47:26,459 --> 00:47:29,376
It's my tombstone.
Eleanor you spoil me.

571
00:47:29,501 --> 00:47:33,209
- I never could deny you anything.
- Don't go!

572
00:47:33,334 --> 00:47:36,417
It nettles her
to see how much I need you.

573
00:47:37,126 --> 00:47:40,709
You need me, Henry,
like a tailor needs a tinker's dam.

574
00:47:41,959 --> 00:47:44,126
Oh, I know that look.

575
00:47:44,251 --> 00:47:46,292
He's going to say he loves me.

576
00:47:46,917 --> 00:47:48,834
Like my life.

577
00:47:53,459 --> 00:47:56,417
I talk that way to keep her spirits up.

578
00:47:56,542 --> 00:48:00,542
Well, how did you do with Richard?
Did you break his heart?

579
00:48:00,667 --> 00:48:03,209
You think he ought to give me back
the Aquitaine?

580
00:48:03,334 --> 00:48:07,042
I can't think why he shouldn't.
After all, I've promised him the throne.

581
00:48:07,167 --> 00:48:11,709
The boy keeps wondering
if your promises are any good.

582
00:48:11,834 --> 00:48:15,751
There's no sense asking if the air is good
when there's nothing else to breathe.

583
00:48:15,876 --> 00:48:18,542
Exactly what I told him.

584
00:48:18,667 --> 00:48:20,584
Have you got it?

585
00:48:21,376 --> 00:48:23,167
Will he give it back?

586
00:48:23,292 --> 00:48:26,126
No Aquitaine for John.

587
00:48:33,001 --> 00:48:37,042
I have to give him something.
Isn't some agreement possible?

588
00:48:37,167 --> 00:48:41,709
Love, in a world where carpenters
get resurrected, anything is possible.

589
00:48:41,834 --> 00:48:44,959
- You bore him, damn it, he's your son!
- Oh, heavens, yes.

590
00:48:45,084 --> 00:48:48,209
280 days I bore him.

591
00:48:48,334 --> 00:48:50,959
I recall them all.

592
00:48:51,084 --> 00:48:53,209
You'd only just found Rosamund.

593
00:48:53,334 --> 00:48:56,709
Why her so damn particularly?
I've found other women.

594
00:48:59,084 --> 00:49:00,876
Countless others.

595
00:49:01,001 --> 00:49:03,084
What's <i>your</i> count?

596
00:49:03,209 --> 00:49:06,626
Let's have a tally of the bedspreads
you've spread out on.

597
00:49:09,542 --> 00:49:12,501
- Thomas Becket's.
- That's a lie!

598
00:49:14,709 --> 00:49:18,584
I know.
You still care what I do.

599
00:49:18,709 --> 00:49:21,959
I want the Aquitaine for John!
I want it and I'll have it.

600
00:49:22,084 --> 00:49:25,084
Is that menace you're conveying?
Is there to be torture?

601
00:49:25,209 --> 00:49:29,167
Will you boil me or stretch me?
Which? Or am I to be perforated?

602
00:49:29,292 --> 00:49:31,751
I have the documents and you will sign.

603
00:49:31,876 --> 00:49:35,834
How will you force me to? Threats?
"Sign or I'll refuse to feed you!"

604
00:49:35,959 --> 00:49:40,417
Tears?
"Oh, sign before my heart goes crack."

605
00:49:41,626 --> 00:49:45,001
I'm like the Earth, old man,
there isn't any way around me.

606
00:49:45,667 --> 00:49:47,584
I adore you.

607
00:49:47,709 --> 00:49:50,251
Save your aching heart.
That road's closed.

608
00:49:52,417 --> 00:49:56,709
- I have an offer for you, my dear.
- A deal! A deal?

609
00:49:56,834 --> 00:50:02,042
I give the richest province
on the continent to John for what?

610
00:50:02,167 --> 00:50:05,251
You tell me, mastermind, for what?

611
00:50:09,251 --> 00:50:11,209
Your freedom.

612
00:50:17,834 --> 00:50:19,417
Oh.

613
00:50:20,626 --> 00:50:23,459
Once Johnny gets the Aquitaine,
you're free. I let you out.

614
00:50:23,584 --> 00:50:27,167
Think. On the loose in London,
winters in Provence.

615
00:50:27,292 --> 00:50:30,459
Impromptu trips to visit Richard
anywhere he's killing people.

616
00:50:31,584 --> 00:50:33,792
All that for a signature.

617
00:50:35,001 --> 00:50:36,251
You're good.

618
00:50:36,792 --> 00:50:40,251
I thought it might appeal to you.
You always fancied travelling.

619
00:50:40,376 --> 00:50:41,417
Yes.

620
00:50:42,667 --> 00:50:46,376
I even made poor Louis
take me on Crusade.

621
00:50:46,501 --> 00:50:49,042
How's that for blasphemy?

622
00:50:49,167 --> 00:50:54,251
I dressed my maids as Amazons and rode
bare-breasted halfway to Damascus.

623
00:50:54,376 --> 00:50:57,709
Louis had a seizure
and I damn near died of windburn.

624
00:51:02,501 --> 00:51:05,042
But the troops were dazzled.

625
00:51:10,167 --> 00:51:12,209
Henry, I'm against the wall.

626
00:51:14,709 --> 00:51:17,584
To be a prisoner,

627
00:51:17,709 --> 00:51:21,167
to be bricked in,

628
00:51:21,292 --> 00:51:23,459
when you've known the world.

629
00:51:26,001 --> 00:51:28,751
I'll never know how I survived.

630
00:51:30,709 --> 00:51:35,501
These ten years, Henry,
have been unimaginable.

631
00:51:38,792 --> 00:51:40,376
And now...

632
00:51:42,792 --> 00:51:46,542
...you offer me the only thing I want

633
00:51:46,667 --> 00:51:50,959
if I give up the only thing I treasure.

634
00:51:52,876 --> 00:51:55,792
Sign the paper
and we'll break the happy news.

635
00:51:55,917 --> 00:52:00,459
The queen is free, John gets the Aquitaine
and Richard marries Alais.

636
00:52:00,584 --> 00:52:02,167
Yes.

637
00:52:02,292 --> 00:52:04,209
Let's have it done!

638
00:52:04,334 --> 00:52:06,334
I'll sign.

639
00:52:08,584 --> 00:52:10,834
- On one condition.
- Name it.

640
00:52:10,959 --> 00:52:14,917
- Have the wedding now.
- What's that?

641
00:52:15,042 --> 00:52:18,792
Why, I've surprised you.
Surely it's not sudden.

642
00:52:18,917 --> 00:52:23,209
They've been marching down the aisle
for 16 years and that's a long walk.

643
00:52:23,334 --> 00:52:27,126
John can be best man.
That's a laugh.

644
00:52:27,251 --> 00:52:31,376
And you can give the bride away.
I want to watch you do it.

645
00:52:31,501 --> 00:52:33,292
Alais!

646
00:52:34,251 --> 00:52:36,126
I can live without her.

647
00:52:36,251 --> 00:52:38,376
- And I thought you loved her.
- So I do.

648
00:52:38,501 --> 00:52:42,209
Thank God! You frightened me.
I was afraid this wouldn't hurt.

649
00:52:42,334 --> 00:52:44,792
What a tragedy you are.

650
00:52:47,584 --> 00:52:49,251
I wonder.

651
00:52:50,126 --> 00:52:53,584
Do <i>you</i> ever wonder

652
00:52:53,709 --> 00:52:56,459
if I slept with your father?

653
00:53:00,417 --> 00:53:02,751
My father?

654
00:53:02,876 --> 00:53:06,459
It's a lie, but there are rumours.

655
00:53:08,417 --> 00:53:10,126
Don't you ever wonder?

656
00:53:10,251 --> 00:53:13,417
- Is it rich despising me? Is it rewarding?
- No.

657
00:53:13,542 --> 00:53:15,792
- Then stop!
- How?

658
00:53:16,334 --> 00:53:21,084
- It's what I live for.
- I'll show you! By Christ, I will! I'll do it.

659
00:53:21,792 --> 00:53:24,834
Where's a priest?
Somebody dig me up a priest!

660
00:53:26,626 --> 00:53:29,501
You! Fetch me a bishop!

661
00:53:29,626 --> 00:53:33,959
Get old Durham, he's just down the hall.
Ask him to meet us in the chapel.

662
00:53:34,084 --> 00:53:36,126
John! Richard! Geoffrey!

663
00:54:09,084 --> 00:54:12,209
- What's wrong? What's happened?
- Richard's getting married.

664
00:54:12,334 --> 00:54:16,792
Getting married? Now?
He's getting married now?

665
00:54:16,917 --> 00:54:19,667
I never cease to marvel
at the quickness of your mind.

666
00:54:19,792 --> 00:54:21,959
You can't hurt me,
you bag of bile.

667
00:54:22,084 --> 00:54:24,251
- But you can, Father. Why?
- Because I say so.

668
00:54:24,376 --> 00:54:27,751
- My lord. The bishop's in the chapel.
- Good. Let's get this over with.

669
00:54:27,876 --> 00:54:30,959
You'll make a lovely bride.
I wonder if I'll cry.

670
00:54:31,084 --> 00:54:32,917
You sound as if you think
it's going to happen.

671
00:54:33,042 --> 00:54:34,417
I do.

672
00:54:34,542 --> 00:54:37,667
- Can't you tell when Henry's plotting?
- Not this time.

673
00:54:37,792 --> 00:54:39,667
- He'll never give me up.
- You think I won't?

674
00:54:39,792 --> 00:54:41,292
Because you told me so.

675
00:54:41,417 --> 00:54:44,084
You're not my Helen! I won't fight a war
to save a face. We're done.

676
00:54:44,209 --> 00:54:47,209
- I don't believe you!
- Wait ten minutes!

677
00:54:50,084 --> 00:54:51,917
Please!

678
00:54:52,042 --> 00:54:54,251
Richard, Richard, we're not...

679
00:54:54,376 --> 00:54:58,167
Honestly, we're not.
We love each other!

680
00:54:59,084 --> 00:55:01,584
We love each other!

681
00:55:05,459 --> 00:55:07,251
Come on!

682
00:55:07,376 --> 00:55:10,542
It's lunacy!
I won't do it! I won't!

683
00:55:10,667 --> 00:55:13,084
It's lunacy! Let me go, Henry.

684
00:55:13,209 --> 00:55:17,667
Richard, no! I won't say the words!
Not one of them!

685
00:55:17,792 --> 00:55:23,001
It makes no sense! Why give me up?
What do you get? What are you gaining?

686
00:55:24,001 --> 00:55:26,459
Why, the Aquitaine, of course.

687
00:55:27,376 --> 00:55:29,376
What's that again?

688
00:55:29,501 --> 00:55:32,042
Your mother gets her freedom
when I get the Aquitaine.

689
00:55:32,167 --> 00:55:34,542
That is the proposition, isn't it?
You did agree.

690
00:55:34,667 --> 00:55:36,251
Of course she did. I knew it.

691
00:55:36,376 --> 00:55:39,376
- It was pretence and I believed it all.
- I meant it all.

692
00:55:39,501 --> 00:55:42,417
- There'll be no wedding.
- But, my boy. Look.

693
00:55:42,542 --> 00:55:45,626
Durham's waiting. You should be happy
to marry her, for my sake.

694
00:55:45,751 --> 00:55:47,667
- It isn't much to ask.
- Never.

695
00:55:47,792 --> 00:55:50,542
But I promised it to Philip.
Think of my position.

696
00:55:50,667 --> 00:55:52,626
Damn the wedding
and to hell with your position!

697
00:55:52,751 --> 00:55:55,542
- You don't dare defy me!
- Don't I?

698
00:55:56,959 --> 00:55:59,917
You're the king of France, for God's sake.
Speak up. Do something.

699
00:56:00,042 --> 00:56:02,292
- Make a threat. Frighten me.
- Dunce!

700
00:56:02,417 --> 00:56:04,959
He never meant to have the wedding.

701
00:56:06,209 --> 00:56:08,334
- Come again?
- You're good at rage.

702
00:56:08,459 --> 00:56:10,667
- I like the way you play it.
- Boy!

703
00:56:10,792 --> 00:56:13,334
Don't ever call a king a liar to his face.

704
00:56:13,459 --> 00:56:17,209
I'm not a boy... to you or anyone!

705
00:56:17,334 --> 00:56:20,167
Boy, you came here asking
for a wedding or the Vexin back.

706
00:56:20,292 --> 00:56:24,251
- By God! You don't get either one.
- You have a pact with France!

707
00:56:24,376 --> 00:56:28,167
Then damn the pact and damn France.
She never marries, not while I'm alive.

708
00:56:28,292 --> 00:56:30,959
Your life and never
are two different times.

709
00:56:31,084 --> 00:56:33,167
Not on my clock, boy!

710
00:56:33,292 --> 00:56:37,417
Haha! Listen to the lion!
Come on! Frighten me.

711
00:56:37,542 --> 00:56:39,667
Don't spoil it, Richard.
Take it like a good sport.

712
00:56:39,792 --> 00:56:41,667
- How's your bad leg?
- Better, thank you.

713
00:56:41,792 --> 00:56:45,501
And your bad back? You're getting old.
You'll have me once too often.

714
00:56:45,626 --> 00:56:49,001
When? I'm 50 now. Good God, boy!
I'm the oldest man I know.

715
00:56:49,126 --> 00:56:51,167
I've got a decade on the Pope!

716
00:56:54,459 --> 00:56:57,542
What's it to be?
The broadsword when I'm 85?

717
00:56:57,667 --> 00:57:01,334
I'm not a second son now.
Your Henry lies in the vault, you know.

718
00:57:01,459 --> 00:57:04,417
I know.
I've seen him there.

719
00:57:04,542 --> 00:57:07,334
- I'll have the crown!
- You'll have what Daddy gives you.

720
00:57:07,459 --> 00:57:10,834
- I am next in line!
- To nothing!

721
00:57:10,959 --> 00:57:12,751
Then we only have
the broadswords now.

722
00:57:12,876 --> 00:57:14,334
- This minute?
- On the battlefield!

723
00:57:14,459 --> 00:57:15,834
- We're at war?
- Yes, we're at war.

724
00:57:15,959 --> 00:57:18,001
- I have 2,000 men at Poitiers.
- Can they hear you?

725
00:57:18,126 --> 00:57:20,542
Call and see who answers.
You're as close to Poitiers as you get.

726
00:57:20,667 --> 00:57:22,417
You don't dare hold me prisoner.

727
00:57:22,542 --> 00:57:26,209
Until we're all agreed
that John comes next, I can and will.

728
00:57:26,334 --> 00:57:28,376
You're a king's son,
so I treat you with respect.

729
00:57:28,501 --> 00:57:29,917
You have the freedom of the castle.

730
00:57:30,042 --> 00:57:32,501
The castle doesn't stand that holds me.
Post your guards.

731
00:57:34,501 --> 00:57:38,126
My God, I'm king again.
Fantastic!

732
00:57:38,626 --> 00:57:41,959
- Are you happy for me, Geoff?
- I'm happy for us both.

733
00:57:54,917 --> 00:57:57,792
You played it nicely.
You were good.

734
00:57:57,917 --> 00:58:00,626
Yes, I was. I fooled you, didn't I?

735
00:58:02,501 --> 00:58:06,667
Oh, God, but I do love being king!

736
00:58:07,876 --> 00:58:12,084
Well, Henry, liege and lord...

737
00:58:13,792 --> 00:58:15,417
What happens now?

738
00:58:15,959 --> 00:58:17,584
I've no idea.

739
00:58:17,709 --> 00:58:21,959
I know I'm winning and I know I'll win,
but what the next move is...

740
00:58:26,209 --> 00:58:28,251
You were scared, weren't you?

741
00:58:30,292 --> 00:58:31,584
No.

742
00:58:35,209 --> 00:58:37,167
I think you were.

743
00:58:37,292 --> 00:58:39,001
I was.

744
00:58:39,126 --> 00:58:42,292
You mustn't play with feelings, Henry.
Not with mine.

745
00:58:44,042 --> 00:58:46,626
It wasn't possible to lose you.

746
00:58:47,542 --> 00:58:50,251
I must hold you dearer than I thought.

747
00:58:53,001 --> 00:58:57,292
You've got your enigmatic face on.
What's your mood, I wonder?

748
00:58:59,417 --> 00:59:01,251
Pure delight.

749
00:59:02,209 --> 00:59:05,417
I'm locked up with my sons.

750
00:59:06,334 --> 00:59:09,126
What mother does not dream of that?

751
00:59:16,251 --> 00:59:18,917
- One thing.
- Yes?

752
00:59:20,209 --> 00:59:22,542
May I watch you kiss her?

753
00:59:23,209 --> 00:59:25,542
Can't you ever stop?

754
00:59:26,251 --> 00:59:28,626
I watch you every night.

755
00:59:28,751 --> 00:59:32,167
I conjure it before I sleep.

756
00:59:32,292 --> 00:59:34,667
Leave it there.

757
00:59:34,792 --> 00:59:37,376
My curiosity is intellectual.

758
00:59:38,501 --> 00:59:41,417
I want to see how accurate I am.

759
00:59:45,876 --> 00:59:48,376
Forget the dragon in the doorway.

760
00:59:48,501 --> 00:59:50,001
Come.

761
00:59:52,792 --> 00:59:55,376
Believe I love you, for I do.

762
00:59:56,667 --> 00:59:59,376
Believe I'm yours for ever, for I am.

763
01:00:00,959 --> 01:00:04,959
Believe in my contentment
and the joy you give me.

764
01:00:06,751 --> 01:00:08,626
And believe...

765
01:00:13,251 --> 01:00:15,626
...you want more.

766
01:00:22,167 --> 01:00:25,709
I'm an old man in an empty place.

767
01:00:27,667 --> 01:00:29,751
Be with me.

768
01:01:21,584 --> 01:01:25,126
How beautiful you make me.

769
01:01:29,126 --> 01:01:33,667
What might Solomon have sung
had he seen this?

770
01:01:36,709 --> 01:01:40,501
I can't. I'd turn to salt.

771
01:01:43,459 --> 01:01:45,334
I've lost again.

772
01:01:48,251 --> 01:01:50,542
I'm done for this time.

773
01:01:53,001 --> 01:01:58,084
Well, there'll be other Christmases.

774
01:02:00,251 --> 01:02:05,084
I'd hang you from the nipples,
but you'd shock the children.

775
01:02:12,126 --> 01:02:14,792
They kissed sweetly, didn't they?

776
01:02:18,042 --> 01:02:21,001
I'll have him next time. I can wait.

777
01:02:21,126 --> 01:02:24,501
Ah, there you are!

778
01:02:25,917 --> 01:02:29,792
My comfort and my company.

779
01:02:32,751 --> 01:02:35,501
We're locked in for another year.

780
01:02:38,292 --> 01:02:40,876
Four seasons more.

781
01:02:44,084 --> 01:02:46,251
What a desolation!

782
01:02:48,709 --> 01:02:51,209
What a life's work!

783
01:02:58,584 --> 01:03:02,834
Is it too much?
Be sure to squint as you approach.

784
01:03:02,959 --> 01:03:06,251
You may be blinded by my beauty.

785
01:03:07,042 --> 01:03:09,542
Merry Christmas.

786
01:03:09,667 --> 01:03:12,459
Is that why you're here, to tell me that?

787
01:03:12,584 --> 01:03:14,792
I thought you might be lonely.

788
01:03:16,126 --> 01:03:18,209
Here, Chancellor.

789
01:03:19,084 --> 01:03:21,167
Try it on for size.

790
01:03:21,292 --> 01:03:22,876
It's puzzling.

791
01:03:23,751 --> 01:03:26,001
I remember my third birthday.

792
01:03:26,792 --> 01:03:29,501
Not just pictures of the garden
or the gifts,

793
01:03:29,626 --> 01:03:33,042
but who did what
to whom and how it felt.

794
01:03:33,167 --> 01:03:36,001
My memory stretches that far back,
but never once can I remember

795
01:03:36,126 --> 01:03:38,584
anything from you or Father
warmer than indifference.

796
01:03:38,709 --> 01:03:40,876
Why is that?

797
01:03:42,292 --> 01:03:44,417
I don't know.

798
01:03:45,709 --> 01:03:49,584
That was not an easy question for me
and I don't deserve an easy answer.

799
01:03:51,209 --> 01:03:55,417
There are times I think we loved
none of our children.

800
01:03:56,959 --> 01:03:59,167
Still too easy, don't you think?

801
01:04:00,042 --> 01:04:04,584
I'm weary and you want a simple answer
and I haven't one.

802
01:04:05,959 --> 01:04:08,417
I'm so sick of all of you.

803
01:04:09,667 --> 01:04:13,584
- I thought I'd come and gloat a little.
- Mother's tired.

804
01:04:13,709 --> 01:04:17,126
Come stick pins tomorrow morning.
I'll be more responsive then.

805
01:04:17,251 --> 01:04:21,042
- It's no fun goading anyone tonight.
- Bastard's boxed us up!

806
01:04:21,167 --> 01:04:22,876
What's that, dear?

807
01:04:23,001 --> 01:04:24,834
We're his prisoners,
if that interests you.

808
01:04:24,959 --> 01:04:27,667
Why should it?
I'm his prisoner anyway.

809
01:04:27,792 --> 01:04:29,667
It was, correct me if I'm wrong,

810
01:04:29,792 --> 01:04:33,167
but it was my impression
that you wanted Henry's throne for me.

811
01:04:33,292 --> 01:04:37,042
We can't win, Richard.
We've lost it this time.

812
01:04:37,167 --> 01:04:39,542
- You think I'm finished, do you?
- So I do.

813
01:04:39,667 --> 01:04:42,042
I've suffered more defeats
than you have teeth.

814
01:04:42,167 --> 01:04:44,251
I know one when it happens to me.

815
01:04:44,376 --> 01:04:48,251
Take your wormwood like a good boy.
Swallow it and go to bed.

816
01:04:48,376 --> 01:04:50,751
- I <i>will</i> be king.
- So you will, but not this year.

817
01:04:50,876 --> 01:04:53,126
Oh, leave it at that!

818
01:04:54,209 --> 01:04:56,209
- Let it go for now.
- I can't.

819
01:04:56,334 --> 01:05:00,751
It's not so hard. Try saying after me:
"John wins, I lose."

820
01:05:02,376 --> 01:05:04,501
And what if John died?

821
01:05:04,626 --> 01:05:06,917
- You wouldn't dare!
- Why wouldn't I?

822
01:05:07,042 --> 01:05:09,292
- He's got a knife!
- Of course he has a knife.

823
01:05:09,417 --> 01:05:13,001
We all have knives.
It's 1183 and we're Barbarians.

824
01:05:13,126 --> 01:05:14,917
How clear we make it.

825
01:05:15,042 --> 01:05:18,209
Oh, my piglets,
we are the origins of war.

826
01:05:18,334 --> 01:05:21,876
Not history's forces, nor the times,
nor justice, nor the lack of it,

827
01:05:22,001 --> 01:05:25,042
nor causes, nor religions, nor ideas,

828
01:05:25,167 --> 01:05:27,667
nor kinds of government,
nor any other thing.

829
01:05:27,792 --> 01:05:31,417
We are the killers.
We breed wars.

830
01:05:31,542 --> 01:05:33,792
We carry it, like syphilis, inside.

831
01:05:33,917 --> 01:05:37,334
Dead bodies rot in field and stream
because the living ones are rotten.

832
01:05:37,459 --> 01:05:40,542
For the love of God,
can't we love one another just a little?

833
01:05:40,667 --> 01:05:42,709
That's how peace begins.

834
01:05:44,667 --> 01:05:47,751
We have so much to love each other for.

835
01:05:47,876 --> 01:05:50,792
We have such possibilities, my children.

836
01:05:51,542 --> 01:05:53,292
We could change the world.

837
01:05:53,417 --> 01:05:55,792
And while we hugged each other,
what would Philip do?

838
01:05:56,626 --> 01:05:59,001
Oh, good God, Philip!

839
01:05:59,126 --> 01:06:02,834
We're supposed to start a war.
If Father finds out, I'll be ruined.

840
01:06:02,959 --> 01:06:05,667
- Steady, John. Don't panic.
- Some adviser you are.

841
01:06:05,792 --> 01:06:08,917
- Don't do anything without me.
- He's made a pact with Philip?

842
01:06:09,042 --> 01:06:13,459
You advised John into making war. That
fearless boy, he's disinherited himself.

843
01:06:13,584 --> 01:06:16,209
When Henry finds out,
when I tell him what John's done!

844
01:06:16,334 --> 01:06:19,667
I need a little time. Can you keep John
from Philip till I say so?

845
01:06:19,792 --> 01:06:21,376
- Anything you say.
- Richard.

846
01:06:21,501 --> 01:06:23,917
I want you out of here before this breaks.
And that needs Philip.

847
01:06:24,042 --> 01:06:26,584
Go to him, be desperate.
Promise anything, the Vexin, Brittany.

848
01:06:26,709 --> 01:06:30,209
Once you're free and John is out of favour,
we'll make further plans.

849
01:06:30,334 --> 01:06:33,709
You see Philip. You're the diplomat.
You see him, you talk to him.

850
01:06:34,501 --> 01:06:36,917
You're a friend.
You know him, I don't.

851
01:06:40,584 --> 01:06:42,501
And Richard...

852
01:06:43,626 --> 01:06:45,501
Promise anything.

853
01:06:51,792 --> 01:06:56,376
Oh! I've got the old boy this time!
The damn fool thinks he loves John.

854
01:06:56,501 --> 01:07:00,334
He believes it.
That's where the knife goes... in.

855
01:07:03,876 --> 01:07:05,959
Knives.

856
01:07:07,501 --> 01:07:09,584
Knives.

857
01:07:11,626 --> 01:07:15,626
Where's that mirror?
I'm Eleanor, and I can look at anything.

858
01:07:17,626 --> 01:07:20,292
My, what a lovely girl!

859
01:07:20,417 --> 01:07:23,876
How could her king have left her?

860
01:07:38,209 --> 01:07:40,417
Philip?

861
01:07:40,542 --> 01:07:41,792
Philip!

862
01:07:45,167 --> 01:07:46,459
It's working out.

863
01:07:46,584 --> 01:07:49,501
By morning, I can be the chosen son.
The crown can come to me.

864
01:07:49,626 --> 01:07:51,334
Are you still with me?

865
01:07:51,459 --> 01:07:54,251
We'll have to fight them all.
They'll band together once this happens.

866
01:07:54,376 --> 01:07:56,417
- Have I got your word?
- Do I have yours?

867
01:07:56,542 --> 01:07:58,542
All England's land
in France if I support you.

868
01:07:58,667 --> 01:08:01,667
- Are we allies, then?
- We were born to be.

869
01:08:02,792 --> 01:08:05,126
I should say something solemn,
but I haven't the time.

870
01:08:05,251 --> 01:08:08,167
I'm off to Father with news
that John's a traitor. After that...

871
01:08:08,292 --> 01:08:10,459
You stink! You know that?

872
01:08:10,584 --> 01:08:12,542
You're a stinker, and you stink!

873
01:08:13,667 --> 01:08:15,251
I'll kill you!

874
01:08:16,959 --> 01:08:18,042
Lump!

875
01:08:18,626 --> 01:08:21,542
If you're a prince,
there's hope for every ape in Africa.

876
01:08:21,667 --> 01:08:24,959
I had you saved.
I wasn't on my way to Father, but he was.

877
01:08:25,084 --> 01:08:28,417
He would have gone to Henry
and betrayed you. Look, it's in his face.

878
01:08:29,209 --> 01:08:32,251
What's true?
I don't know who my friends are.

879
01:08:34,584 --> 01:08:37,084
Philip? Philip.

880
01:08:39,584 --> 01:08:42,459
- May we?
- That's what tapestries are for.

881
01:08:43,876 --> 01:08:46,292
I'll never learn.
I ruin everything.

882
01:08:52,126 --> 01:08:53,167
Richard?

883
01:08:54,417 --> 01:08:56,167
Hello, Richard.

884
01:08:56,292 --> 01:08:59,917
- You're halfway to bed. I'll wait till morning.
- No, come in.

885
01:09:00,042 --> 01:09:02,792
- Mother sent me.
- Come in, anyway.

886
01:09:09,626 --> 01:09:12,501
Our alchemists have stumbled on
the art of boiling burgundy.

887
01:09:12,626 --> 01:09:16,959
It turns to steam
and when it cools we call it brandywine.

888
01:09:17,084 --> 01:09:19,501
I'm Henry's prisoner.

889
01:09:19,626 --> 01:09:21,376
- You find that charming?
- No.

890
01:09:21,501 --> 01:09:22,959
Then why the charming smile?

891
01:09:23,084 --> 01:09:27,334
I thought, I can't think why,
of when you were in Paris last.

892
01:09:27,459 --> 01:09:29,751
- Can it be two whole years ago?
- It can.

893
01:09:29,876 --> 01:09:32,084
- I need an army, Philip.
- It'll take the cold away.

894
01:09:32,209 --> 01:09:34,417
- I must have soldiers.
- Have I aged?

895
01:09:34,542 --> 01:09:36,334
Do I seem older to you?

896
01:09:36,459 --> 01:09:40,501
They've been two fierce years.
I've studied and I've trained to be a king.

897
01:09:40,626 --> 01:09:44,667
- I'll have your answer. Yes or no?
- You'll have it when I give it.

898
01:09:44,792 --> 01:09:46,667
You see? I've changed.

899
01:09:46,792 --> 01:09:50,126
I'm not the boy you taught to hunt
two years ago, remember?

900
01:09:50,251 --> 01:09:56,167
Racing after boar, you flying first,
me scrambling after, all day into dusk.

901
01:09:57,542 --> 01:10:00,334
- Don't go.
- I must know. Will you help me?

902
01:10:01,251 --> 01:10:04,084
Sit and we'll discuss it.

903
01:10:14,042 --> 01:10:16,834
- You never write.
- To anyone.

904
01:10:16,959 --> 01:10:19,584
Why should I make you
king of England?

905
01:10:19,709 --> 01:10:22,042
Aren't I better off
with John or Geoffrey?

906
01:10:22,751 --> 01:10:25,334
Why have you to fight
when I could have the cretin or the fiend?

907
01:10:25,459 --> 01:10:29,084
- Would we fight?
- We're fighting now. Good night.

908
01:10:31,751 --> 01:10:33,209
You're still a boy.

909
01:10:33,334 --> 01:10:35,084
In some ways.

910
01:10:35,209 --> 01:10:36,751
Which way did you have in mind?

911
01:10:36,876 --> 01:10:39,542
You haven't asked
how much your help is worth.

912
01:10:39,667 --> 01:10:41,126
You'll tell me.

913
01:10:41,251 --> 01:10:43,167
- You can have the Vexin back.
- And what else?

914
01:10:43,292 --> 01:10:44,917
- All of Brittany.
- That's Geoffrey's.

915
01:10:45,042 --> 01:10:47,667
- Does that matter?
- Possibly to Geoffrey. And what else?

916
01:10:47,792 --> 01:10:50,667
- That's all your help is worth.
- And in return, what do you want from me?

917
01:10:51,792 --> 01:10:53,751
- 2,000 soldiers.
- And what else?

918
01:10:53,876 --> 01:10:55,959
- 500 knights on horse.
- And what else?

919
01:10:56,084 --> 01:10:58,167
- Arms and siege equipment.
- And what else?

920
01:10:58,292 --> 01:11:01,709
I never wrote
because I thought you'd never answer.

921
01:11:05,792 --> 01:11:08,001
You got married.

922
01:11:08,126 --> 01:11:10,167
Does that make a difference?

923
01:11:10,917 --> 01:11:12,376
Doesn't it?

924
01:11:14,917 --> 01:11:18,251
I've spent two years
on every street in hell.

925
01:11:22,709 --> 01:11:25,084
That's odd.
I never saw you there.

926
01:11:51,876 --> 01:11:54,167
You haven't said you love me.

927
01:12:01,501 --> 01:12:03,667
When the time comes.

928
01:12:35,542 --> 01:12:37,251
It's not too late at night?

929
01:12:38,626 --> 01:12:40,751
I'd hoped you'd come.

930
01:12:40,876 --> 01:12:45,126
Good! We couldn't leave negotiations
where they were.

931
01:12:48,042 --> 01:12:49,626
Ah!

932
01:12:51,376 --> 01:12:54,917
- I keep looking for your father in you.
- He's not there.

933
01:12:55,042 --> 01:12:57,417
I miss him.

934
01:12:57,542 --> 01:13:00,292
Has Richard or the queen been here
to see you?

935
01:13:00,417 --> 01:13:03,959
Does it matter?
If they haven't yet, they will.

936
01:13:04,792 --> 01:13:08,417
I want to reach a settlement.
I left you with too little earlier.

937
01:13:08,542 --> 01:13:10,959
Yes. "Nothing" is too little.

938
01:13:11,084 --> 01:13:13,167
I'm sorry you're not fonder of me, lad.

939
01:13:13,292 --> 01:13:16,667
Your father always said,
"Be fond of stronger men."

940
01:13:16,792 --> 01:13:18,792
No wonder he loved everyone.

941
01:13:20,501 --> 01:13:23,917
I've come to you to offer peace.

942
01:13:24,792 --> 01:13:27,417
Piss on your peace.

943
01:13:28,626 --> 01:13:30,709
Your father would have wept.

944
01:13:31,376 --> 01:13:33,459
My father was a weeper.

945
01:13:35,209 --> 01:13:37,417
Fight me and you'll lose.

946
01:13:38,459 --> 01:13:43,917
I can't lose, Henry. I have time.
Why, just look at you.

947
01:13:44,042 --> 01:13:47,542
Great heavy arms,
but each year they get a little heavier.

948
01:13:47,667 --> 01:13:50,584
The sand goes pit-pat in the glass.

949
01:13:51,876 --> 01:13:55,292
I'm in no hurry, Henry.
I've got time.

950
01:13:56,334 --> 01:13:58,001
Suppose I hurry things along.

951
01:13:58,126 --> 01:14:00,584
Suppose I say that England
is at war with France.

952
01:14:00,709 --> 01:14:03,459
Then France surrenders.

953
01:14:03,584 --> 01:14:05,001
I don't have to fight to win.

954
01:14:05,126 --> 01:14:08,667
Take all you want - this county, that one.
You won't keep it long.

955
01:14:10,501 --> 01:14:13,042
What kind of courage have you got?

956
01:14:14,167 --> 01:14:16,251
The tidal kind.

957
01:14:18,792 --> 01:14:21,501
- It comes and goes.
- By God!

958
01:14:21,626 --> 01:14:23,584
I'd love to turn you loose on Eleanor!

959
01:14:23,709 --> 01:14:26,292
- More brandywine?
- You recognise it?

960
01:14:26,417 --> 01:14:29,626
They were boiling it in Ireland
before the snakes left.

961
01:14:30,542 --> 01:14:35,376
Well, things look a little bleak
for Henry, don't they?

962
01:14:35,501 --> 01:14:40,292
You'll say yes to Richard when he comes -
arms, soldiers, anything he asks.

963
01:14:40,417 --> 01:14:42,542
- I'd be foolish not to.
- Yeah.

964
01:14:42,667 --> 01:14:45,501
And withdraw it all
before the battle started.

965
01:14:45,626 --> 01:14:47,334
Wouldn't you, in my place?

966
01:14:47,459 --> 01:14:49,917
Why fight Henry,
when his sons will do it for you?

967
01:14:50,042 --> 01:14:52,584
Yes, exactly.

968
01:14:52,709 --> 01:14:55,626
You've got promise, lad.
That's first-class thinking.

969
01:14:55,751 --> 01:14:58,209
Thank you, sir.

970
01:15:10,584 --> 01:15:14,584
- Good night.
- Good night? We haven't settled anything.

971
01:15:14,709 --> 01:15:17,126
We open Christmas presents at noon.
Till then.

972
01:15:17,251 --> 01:15:20,084
- You can't be finished with me.
- But I am. It's been most satisfactory.

973
01:15:20,209 --> 01:15:22,792
- What's so satisfactory?
- Winning is.

974
01:15:24,292 --> 01:15:26,751
I did just win.
Surely you noticed.

975
01:15:27,584 --> 01:15:30,584
Not a thing.
You haven't won a damn thing.

976
01:15:32,792 --> 01:15:34,001
Hmm.

977
01:15:35,501 --> 01:15:39,292
I found out the way your mind works
and the kind of man you are.

978
01:15:40,167 --> 01:15:42,001
I know your plans and expectations.

979
01:15:42,126 --> 01:15:44,209
You've burbled
every bit of strategy you've got.

980
01:15:44,334 --> 01:15:46,667
I know exactly what you will do
and exactly what you won't,

981
01:15:46,792 --> 01:15:48,459
and I've told you exactly nothing!

982
01:15:48,584 --> 01:15:53,251
To these aged eyes, boy, that's what
winning looks like! <i>Dormez bien.</i>

983
01:15:53,376 --> 01:15:55,167
You!

984
01:15:57,626 --> 01:16:00,376
You made my father nothing.

985
01:16:02,751 --> 01:16:04,917
You were always better.

986
01:16:05,792 --> 01:16:08,292
You bullied him.

987
01:16:08,417 --> 01:16:11,126
You bellied with his wife.

988
01:16:11,251 --> 01:16:16,167
You beat him down in every war.
You twisted every treaty.

989
01:16:16,292 --> 01:16:19,376
You played mock the monk -

990
01:16:19,501 --> 01:16:22,417
and then you made him
love you for it.

991
01:16:23,417 --> 01:16:25,542
I was there.

992
01:16:25,667 --> 01:16:28,209
His last words went to you.

993
01:16:29,042 --> 01:16:31,917
He was a loving man
and you've learned nothing of it.

994
01:16:32,042 --> 01:16:35,751
I learned how much fathers live in sons.

995
01:16:37,292 --> 01:16:40,626
A king like you
has policy prepared on everything.

996
01:16:41,959 --> 01:16:44,959
Well, what's the official line on sodomy?

997
01:16:45,084 --> 01:16:49,626
How stands the crown
on boys who do with boys?

998
01:16:52,917 --> 01:16:54,334
Hmm.

999
01:16:55,292 --> 01:16:58,084
Richard finds his way
into so many legends.

1000
01:16:58,209 --> 01:17:00,417
Let's hear yours
and see how it compares.

1001
01:17:00,542 --> 01:17:03,084
He found me first when I was 15.

1002
01:17:03,209 --> 01:17:07,292
We were hunting. It was nearly dark.
My horse fell. I was thrown.

1003
01:17:08,459 --> 01:17:11,126
I woke to Richard touching me.

1004
01:17:12,459 --> 01:17:14,542
He asked me if I loved him.

1005
01:17:15,584 --> 01:17:19,084
"Philip, do you love me?"

1006
01:17:20,792 --> 01:17:23,251
And I told him, "Yes."

1007
01:17:23,376 --> 01:17:26,376
Do you know why I told him yes?

1008
01:17:27,709 --> 01:17:31,292
So that one day
I could tell you all about it.

1009
01:17:32,292 --> 01:17:35,417
You cannot imagine what that "yes" cost.

1010
01:17:35,542 --> 01:17:40,542
Imagine snuggling to a cankered whore

1011
01:17:40,667 --> 01:17:44,667
and bending back your lips
into something like a smile, saying,

1012
01:17:44,792 --> 01:17:46,292
"Yes.

1013
01:17:48,251 --> 01:17:50,292
"I love you.

1014
01:17:52,042 --> 01:17:56,542
"And I find you... beautiful."

1015
01:18:00,292 --> 01:18:02,084
I don't know how I did it.

1016
01:18:02,209 --> 01:18:03,792
No! It wasn't like that!

1017
01:18:05,209 --> 01:18:07,126
But it was.

1018
01:18:09,709 --> 01:18:11,209
You loved me.

1019
01:18:18,417 --> 01:18:20,167
Never.

1020
01:18:30,042 --> 01:18:33,084
Get out. Please?

1021
01:18:33,209 --> 01:18:35,542
I don't want you here.

1022
01:18:35,667 --> 01:18:37,959
It's no great pleasure to be here.

1023
01:18:38,084 --> 01:18:41,209
So, the royal corkscrew
finds <i>me</i> twisted, does he?

1024
01:18:41,334 --> 01:18:44,376
- I'll tell your mother. She'll be pleased.
- She knows. She sent me.

1025
01:18:44,501 --> 01:18:47,667
How completely hers you are.

1026
01:18:47,792 --> 01:18:52,917
You've had four sons. Who do you claim?
Not Henry. Not my buried brother.

1027
01:18:53,042 --> 01:18:56,042
Not that monument to muck,
that epic idiot.

1028
01:18:57,292 --> 01:19:00,667
Why him?
Why always him and never me?

1029
01:19:00,792 --> 01:19:02,667
He was the eldest. He came first.

1030
01:19:04,459 --> 01:19:07,626
Christ, Henry, is that all?

1031
01:19:08,459 --> 01:19:09,917
You went with Eleanor.

1032
01:19:10,667 --> 01:19:13,917
You never called me.
You never said my name.

1033
01:19:15,417 --> 01:19:19,626
I'd have walked. I'd have crawled.
I'd have done anything.

1034
01:19:21,167 --> 01:19:22,751
It's not my fault.

1035
01:19:23,542 --> 01:19:25,251
I won't be blamed.

1036
01:19:26,626 --> 01:19:28,667
I only wanted you.

1037
01:19:28,792 --> 01:19:32,167
No, it's my crown.
You want my kingdom.

1038
01:19:32,292 --> 01:19:34,001
- You keep your kingdom.
- That I will.

1039
01:19:34,126 --> 01:19:35,417
And I hope it kills you!

1040
01:19:37,042 --> 01:19:41,126
Thank God I have another son.
Thank God for John.

1041
01:19:41,251 --> 01:19:45,042
Who shall we thank for Geoffrey?
You don't think much of me.

1042
01:19:48,542 --> 01:19:51,459
Much? I don't think of you at all.

1043
01:19:51,584 --> 01:19:54,459
Nurse used to say I had your hands.

1044
01:19:54,584 --> 01:19:57,917
I might have had more of you.
Try seeing <i>me.</i>

1045
01:19:58,042 --> 01:20:01,959
I haven't Richard's military skill,
but he was here betraying you, not I.

1046
01:20:02,084 --> 01:20:05,209
I haven't John's...
God knows what you see in John!

1047
01:20:05,334 --> 01:20:07,459
And he's betrayed you, too.

1048
01:20:07,584 --> 01:20:09,834
You think I'd ever make you king?

1049
01:20:09,959 --> 01:20:12,667
You'll make me king
because I'm all you've got.

1050
01:20:12,792 --> 01:20:15,334
I was to be his chancellor.

1051
01:20:15,459 --> 01:20:17,042
- Ask him why.
- I've heard enough.

1052
01:20:17,167 --> 01:20:18,792
For moving John to treason.

1053
01:20:20,209 --> 01:20:23,251
I don't doubt he offered,
I don't doubt you tried

1054
01:20:23,376 --> 01:20:26,042
and I don't doubt John loves me.

1055
01:20:26,167 --> 01:20:28,626
Like a glutton loves his lunch.

1056
01:20:32,959 --> 01:20:34,751
You turd!

1057
01:20:43,417 --> 01:20:45,334
Well, John?

1058
01:20:46,792 --> 01:20:50,209
- It isn't what you think.
- What do I think?

1059
01:20:50,334 --> 01:20:54,042
What Geoffrey said.
I wouldn't plot against you, ever.

1060
01:20:54,167 --> 01:20:56,542
I know. You're a good boy.

1061
01:20:57,709 --> 01:21:00,917
Can I go now, please?
It's late. I ought to be in bed.

1062
01:21:09,417 --> 01:21:12,292
Couldn't you wait?
Couldn't you trust me?

1063
01:21:12,417 --> 01:21:14,501
It was all yours.
Couldn't you believe that?

1064
01:21:14,626 --> 01:21:17,751
Will you listen to the grief?
Who do you think I built this kingdom for?

1065
01:21:17,876 --> 01:21:23,126
Me! Daddy did it all for me.
But when can I have it, Daddy?

1066
01:21:23,251 --> 01:21:26,126
- Not until we bury you.
- I loved you.

1067
01:21:26,251 --> 01:21:31,917
You're a cold and bloody bastard, you are,
and you don't love anything.

1068
01:21:34,959 --> 01:21:36,626
I'm it.

1069
01:21:37,667 --> 01:21:39,959
I'm all that's left.

1070
01:21:40,084 --> 01:21:42,917
Here, Father. Here I am.

1071
01:21:59,251 --> 01:22:00,792
No.

1072
01:22:05,001 --> 01:22:09,084
My life, when it is written,
will read better than it lived.

1073
01:22:10,751 --> 01:22:13,001
"Henry FitzEmpress, first Plantagenet,

1074
01:22:13,126 --> 01:22:16,459
"king at 21,
the ablest soldier of an able time.

1075
01:22:17,792 --> 01:22:20,417
"He led men well,
he cared for justice when he could

1076
01:22:20,542 --> 01:22:24,292
"and ruled for 30 years
a state as great as Charlemagne's.

1077
01:22:25,751 --> 01:22:28,917
"He married out of love
a woman out of legend.

1078
01:22:30,001 --> 01:22:34,709
"Not in Alexandria or Rome or Camelot
has there been such a queen.

1079
01:22:36,209 --> 01:22:38,376
"She bore him many children...

1080
01:22:40,084 --> 01:22:42,501
"...but no sons.

1081
01:22:43,334 --> 01:22:45,334
"King Henry had no sons.

1082
01:22:47,126 --> 01:22:51,001
"He had three whiskered things,
but he disowned them."

1083
01:22:52,542 --> 01:22:54,501
You're not mine!

1084
01:22:55,459 --> 01:22:57,042
We're not connected!

1085
01:22:57,667 --> 01:22:59,876
I deny you!

1086
01:23:00,001 --> 01:23:03,667
None of you will get my kingdom.
I leave you nothing and I wish you plague!

1087
01:23:03,792 --> 01:23:06,292
May all your children breech and die!

1088
01:23:14,376 --> 01:23:16,376
My boys are gone?

1089
01:23:20,959 --> 01:23:23,084
I've lost my boys.

1090
01:23:43,126 --> 01:23:45,584
You dare to damn me, do you?

1091
01:23:45,709 --> 01:23:48,042
Well, I'll damn you back.

1092
01:23:48,167 --> 01:23:50,709
God damn you!

1093
01:23:57,459 --> 01:23:59,417
My boys are gone.

1094
01:24:01,792 --> 01:24:03,876
I've lost my boys.

1095
01:24:07,334 --> 01:24:09,417
Oh, Jesus!

1096
01:24:12,584 --> 01:24:14,667
All my boys.

1097
01:25:26,959 --> 01:25:28,667
Henry?

1098
01:27:23,584 --> 01:27:29,042
♪ The Christmas wine is in the pot

1099
01:27:30,792 --> 01:27:35,417
♪ The Christmas coals are red

♪ The Christmas prayers are done ♪

1104
01:28:05,459 --> 01:28:09,126
No one else is carolling.
It might as well be Lent.

1105
01:28:09,251 --> 01:28:13,251
When I was little, Christmas was a time
of great confusion to me.

1106
01:28:13,376 --> 01:28:17,251
The Holy Land had two kings -
God and Uncle Raymond.

1107
01:28:17,376 --> 01:28:20,334
I never knew whose birthday
we were celebrating.

1108
01:28:20,459 --> 01:28:23,876
- Henry isn't here.
- Good, we can talk behind his back.

1109
01:28:24,001 --> 01:28:26,251
- What happened?
- Don't you know?

1110
01:28:26,376 --> 01:28:28,626
There was a scene
with beds and tapestries,

1111
01:28:28,751 --> 01:28:30,292
and many things got said.

1112
01:28:30,417 --> 01:28:32,501
Spiced wine.

1113
01:28:32,626 --> 01:28:34,792
I'd forgotten Henry liked it.

1114
01:28:34,917 --> 01:28:36,417
May I stay?

1115
01:28:36,542 --> 01:28:40,001
It's your room just as much as mine.
We're both in residence.

1116
01:28:40,126 --> 01:28:43,126
Packed in like the poor -
three to a bed.

1117
01:28:44,292 --> 01:28:48,667
- Did you love Henry ever?
- Ever? Back before the flood!

1118
01:28:48,792 --> 01:28:51,084
- As long ago as Rosamund?
- Ah...

1119
01:28:51,209 --> 01:28:55,126
That's prehistory, lamb.
There are no written records or survivors.

1120
01:28:55,251 --> 01:28:57,209
There are pictures.
She was prettier than you.

1121
01:28:57,334 --> 01:28:58,667
Oh, much.

1122
01:28:58,792 --> 01:29:02,584
Her eyes, in certain light, were violet,
and all her teeth were even.

1123
01:29:02,709 --> 01:29:04,667
That's a rare, fair feature, even teeth.

1124
01:29:04,792 --> 01:29:09,126
She smiled to excess,
but she chewed with real distinction.

1125
01:29:09,251 --> 01:29:11,126
And you hate her even now.

1126
01:29:11,251 --> 01:29:13,001
No, but I did.

1127
01:29:13,792 --> 01:29:17,792
He put her in my place, you see,
and that was very hard.

1128
01:29:18,709 --> 01:29:21,251
Like you, she headed Henry's table.

1129
01:29:22,209 --> 01:29:24,292
That's my chair.

1130
01:29:25,834 --> 01:29:28,501
And so you had her poisoned.

1131
01:29:28,626 --> 01:29:30,501
No, I never poisoned Rosamund.

1132
01:29:30,626 --> 01:29:34,626
Oh, I prayed for her to drop
and smiled a little when she did.

1133
01:29:36,792 --> 01:29:39,042
Why aren't you happy?

1134
01:29:39,167 --> 01:29:42,459
Henry's keeping you.
You must be cleverer than I am.

1135
01:29:43,501 --> 01:29:48,251
I've tried feeling pity for you,
but it keeps on turning into something else.

1136
01:29:48,376 --> 01:29:50,417
Why pity?

1137
01:29:50,542 --> 01:29:54,126
You love Henry,
but you love his kingdom, too.

1138
01:29:55,292 --> 01:30:00,209
You look at him and you see cities,
acreage, coastline, taxes.

1139
01:30:01,667 --> 01:30:03,792
All I see is Henry.

1140
01:30:05,626 --> 01:30:07,792
Leave him to me, can't you?

1141
01:30:09,417 --> 01:30:11,626
I left him years ago.

1142
01:30:13,376 --> 01:30:15,542
And I thought I could move you.

1143
01:30:16,376 --> 01:30:18,501
Were you always like this?

1144
01:30:18,626 --> 01:30:21,834
When I was young and worshipped you,
is this what you were like?

1145
01:30:21,959 --> 01:30:23,709
Most likely.

1146
01:30:24,751 --> 01:30:29,001
Child, I'm finished, and I've come
to give him anything he asks for.

1147
01:30:31,459 --> 01:30:34,042
Do you know what I should like
for Christmas?

1148
01:30:35,542 --> 01:30:38,167
I should like to see you suffer.

1149
01:30:40,959 --> 01:30:44,626
Alais, just for you.

1150
01:30:49,751 --> 01:30:53,376
<i>Alors, ma petite.</i>

1151
01:30:54,292 --> 01:30:56,792
<i>- J'aipeur, maman.</i>
<i>- Non, non.</i>

1152
01:31:10,584 --> 01:31:13,251
The sky is pocked with stars.

1153
01:31:19,001 --> 01:31:23,042
What eyes the wise men must have had
to see a new one in so many.

1154
01:31:24,042 --> 01:31:27,042
- You look cold.
- I've mulled some wine.

1155
01:31:27,167 --> 01:31:30,001
I wonder,
were there fewer stars then?

1156
01:31:30,126 --> 01:31:31,709
I don't know.

1157
01:31:31,834 --> 01:31:34,042
I fancy there's a mystery in it.

1158
01:31:34,167 --> 01:31:36,542
- What's this?
- Warm wine.

1159
01:31:37,834 --> 01:31:39,751
Why, so it is.

1160
01:31:42,501 --> 01:31:45,376
You are as beautiful as I remembered.

1161
01:31:47,334 --> 01:31:49,292
Off you go.
My widow wants to see me.

1162
01:31:49,417 --> 01:31:52,251
- She came to find out what your plans are.
- I know.

1163
01:31:53,167 --> 01:31:56,126
- She wants you back.
- Go to your room.

1164
01:32:02,251 --> 01:32:05,126
So, you want me back.

1165
01:32:06,459 --> 01:32:08,501
She thinks I do.

1166
01:32:08,626 --> 01:32:12,167
She thinks
the need for loving never stops.

1167
01:32:12,292 --> 01:32:14,209
She has a point.

1168
01:32:14,334 --> 01:32:18,667
I marvel at you. After all these years,
still like a democratic drawbridge -

1169
01:32:18,792 --> 01:32:21,251
going down for everybody.

1170
01:32:21,376 --> 01:32:24,459
At my age,
there's not much traffic anymore.

1171
01:32:25,751 --> 01:32:28,001
To your interminable health.

1172
01:32:31,709 --> 01:32:34,542
Well, wife, what's on your mind?

1173
01:32:34,667 --> 01:32:38,001
- I've just seen Richard.
- Splendid boy.

1174
01:32:38,126 --> 01:32:40,792
- He says you fought.
- We always do.

1175
01:32:41,792 --> 01:32:45,376
It's his impression
that you mean to disinherit them.

1176
01:32:45,501 --> 01:32:48,334
I fancy I'll relent. Don't you?

1177
01:32:48,459 --> 01:32:50,251
I don't much care.

1178
01:32:50,376 --> 01:32:52,667
In fact, I wonder, Henry,
if I care for anything.

1179
01:32:52,792 --> 01:32:55,001
I wonder if I'm hungry out of habit.

1180
01:32:55,126 --> 01:33:00,126
I could listen to you lie for hours,
so your lust is rusty.

1181
01:33:01,042 --> 01:33:02,167
Gorgeous!

1182
01:33:04,292 --> 01:33:06,126
Henry, I'm so tired.

1183
01:33:06,251 --> 01:33:10,042
Sleep then.
Sleep and dream of me with croutons.

1184
01:33:10,167 --> 01:33:11,709
<i>HenriA  la mode.</i>

1185
01:33:11,834 --> 01:33:15,292
- Henry, stop it!
- Eleanor, I haven't started.

1186
01:33:15,417 --> 01:33:18,209
What do you want? You want my name
on paper? I'll sign anything.

1187
01:33:18,334 --> 01:33:20,376
You want the Aquitaine for John?
It's John's.

1188
01:33:20,501 --> 01:33:24,084
- It's his, it's yours, it's anybody's.
- In exchange for what?

1189
01:33:24,209 --> 01:33:28,376
For nothing. For a little quiet.
For an end to this, for God's sake.

1190
01:33:28,501 --> 01:33:33,167
Sail me back to England, lock me up
and lose the key and let me be alone.

1191
01:33:38,959 --> 01:33:40,792
You have my oath.

1192
01:33:43,334 --> 01:33:45,542
I give my word.

1193
01:33:45,667 --> 01:33:48,084
Oh, well...!

1194
01:33:53,626 --> 01:33:57,334
Would you like a pillow? Footstool?
How about a shawl?

1195
01:33:57,459 --> 01:33:59,667
Your oaths are all profanities,
your words a curse,

1196
01:33:59,792 --> 01:34:02,584
your name on paper is a waste of pulp!

1197
01:34:02,709 --> 01:34:06,126
I'm vilifying you, for God's sake!
Pay attention!

1198
01:34:08,167 --> 01:34:10,459
How...

1199
01:34:10,584 --> 01:34:12,542
from where we started...

1200
01:34:14,209 --> 01:34:16,792
...did we ever reach this Christmas?

1201
01:34:20,626 --> 01:34:22,626
Step by step.

1202
01:34:25,667 --> 01:34:27,709
What happens to me now?

1203
01:34:27,834 --> 01:34:30,917
That's lively curiosity
from such a dead cat.

1204
01:34:32,126 --> 01:34:34,959
If you want to know my plans,
just ask me.

1205
01:34:36,084 --> 01:34:38,542
Conquer China, sack the Vatican
or take the veil -

1206
01:34:38,667 --> 01:34:41,667
I'm not among the ones
who give a damn.

1207
01:34:41,792 --> 01:34:46,167
Just let me sign my lands to John
and go to bed.

1208
01:34:46,292 --> 01:34:49,001
No, you're too kind.
I can't accept.

1209
01:34:49,126 --> 01:34:52,667
Come on, man, I'll sign the thing in blood
or spit or bright blue ink.

1210
01:34:52,792 --> 01:34:55,042
- Let's have it done.
- Let's not.

1211
01:34:55,167 --> 01:34:59,126
No, I don't think I want your signature
on anything.

1212
01:35:01,792 --> 01:35:03,334
You don't?

1213
01:35:03,459 --> 01:35:07,667
Dear God!
The pleasure I still get from goading you.

1214
01:35:08,542 --> 01:35:12,292
You don't want John
to have my provinces?

1215
01:35:12,417 --> 01:35:15,042
- Bull's-eye.
- I can't bear you when you're smug.

1216
01:35:15,167 --> 01:35:16,709
I know, I know.

1217
01:35:16,834 --> 01:35:19,917
You don't want Richard
and you don't want John.

1218
01:35:20,042 --> 01:35:24,209
- You've grasped it.
- All right, then, shatter me!

1219
01:35:24,834 --> 01:35:29,126
Let me have it.
What <i>do</i> you want?

1220
01:35:31,667 --> 01:35:33,542
A new wife.

1221
01:35:41,917 --> 01:35:43,459
Oh.

1222
01:35:46,834 --> 01:35:48,626
So...

1223
01:35:49,792 --> 01:35:52,834
I'm to be annulled.

1224
01:35:56,167 --> 01:35:57,667
Well...

1225
01:35:58,584 --> 01:36:02,376
Will the Pope annul me,
do you think?

1226
01:36:02,501 --> 01:36:06,042
The pontiff owes me one pontificate.
I think he will.

1227
01:36:07,751 --> 01:36:09,292
Out Eleanor.

1228
01:36:10,542 --> 01:36:12,542
In Alais.

1229
01:36:15,167 --> 01:36:16,292
Why?

1230
01:36:17,251 --> 01:36:21,001
A new wife, wife, will bear me sons.

1231
01:36:22,626 --> 01:36:30,417
That is the single thing of which
I would have thought you had enough.

1232
01:36:30,542 --> 01:36:32,001
I want a son.

1233
01:36:32,126 --> 01:36:38,417
We could populate a country town
with country girls who've borne you sons.

1234
01:36:38,542 --> 01:36:41,334
How many is it?
Help me count the bastards.

1235
01:36:41,459 --> 01:36:44,126
All my sons are bastards.

1236
01:36:52,001 --> 01:36:56,001
- You really mean to do it.
- Lady love, with all my heart.

1237
01:36:56,126 --> 01:36:58,501
Your sons are part of you.

1238
01:36:58,626 --> 01:37:01,209
Like warts and goitres
and I'm having them removed.

1239
01:37:01,334 --> 01:37:04,501
We made them. They're our boys.

1240
01:37:04,626 --> 01:37:07,667
I know, and good God, look at them.

1241
01:37:07,792 --> 01:37:11,667
Geoffrey, there's a masterpiece.
He isn't flesh, he's a device.

1242
01:37:11,792 --> 01:37:13,834
He's wheels and gears.

1243
01:37:13,959 --> 01:37:15,792
And Johnny...

1244
01:37:17,084 --> 01:37:19,501
Was his latest treason your idea?

1245
01:37:22,542 --> 01:37:25,334
I've caught him lying
and I've said, "He's young."

1246
01:37:26,626 --> 01:37:29,292
I've found him cheating
and I've said, "He's just a boy."

1247
01:37:29,417 --> 01:37:34,376
I've watched him steal and whore and
whip his servants, and he's not a child.

1248
01:37:34,501 --> 01:37:36,667
He's the man we made him.

1249
01:37:36,792 --> 01:37:40,292
Don't share John with me.

1250
01:37:40,417 --> 01:37:42,417
He's your accomplishment.

1251
01:37:42,542 --> 01:37:44,334
And Richard's yours.

1252
01:37:45,792 --> 01:37:48,959
How could you send him off
to deal with Philip?

1253
01:37:51,292 --> 01:37:53,084
I was tired.

1254
01:37:53,209 --> 01:37:55,167
I was busy.

1255
01:37:56,209 --> 01:37:58,084
They were friends.

1256
01:37:58,209 --> 01:38:01,792
Eleanor, he was the best.

1257
01:38:03,542 --> 01:38:07,792
From the cradle on, you cradled him.
I never had a chance.

1258
01:38:07,917 --> 01:38:10,834
- You never wanted one.
- How do you know? You took him.

1259
01:38:10,959 --> 01:38:14,459
Separation from your husband
you could bear, but not your son.

1260
01:38:14,584 --> 01:38:18,626
Whatever I have done,
you made me do.

1261
01:38:18,751 --> 01:38:22,667
- You threw me out of bed for Richard.
- Not until you threw me out for Rosamund.

1262
01:38:22,792 --> 01:38:24,667
It's not that simple.

1263
01:38:25,459 --> 01:38:28,626
I won't have it to be that simple.

1264
01:38:28,751 --> 01:38:31,001
I adored you.

1265
01:38:31,126 --> 01:38:34,042
- Never.
- I still do.

1266
01:38:35,501 --> 01:38:38,917
Of all the lies,
that one is the most terrible.

1267
01:38:39,042 --> 01:38:40,834
I know.

1268
01:38:40,959 --> 01:38:44,084
That's why I saved it up for now.

1269
01:38:55,334 --> 01:39:00,167
Oh, Henry,
we've mangled everything we've touched.

1270
01:39:01,626 --> 01:39:05,417
Deny us what you will,
we have done that.

1271
01:39:09,126 --> 01:39:11,959
Do you remember when we met?

1272
01:39:12,084 --> 01:39:16,626
Down to the hour
and colour of your stockings.

1273
01:39:21,667 --> 01:39:25,251
I could hardly see you for the sunlight.

1274
01:39:25,376 --> 01:39:28,501
It was raining... but no matter!

1275
01:39:32,626 --> 01:39:36,376
There was very little talk,
as I recall.

1276
01:39:36,501 --> 01:39:38,834
Very little.

1277
01:39:38,959 --> 01:39:41,709
I had never seen such beauty.

1278
01:39:42,959 --> 01:39:45,626
I walked right up and touched it.

1279
01:39:47,042 --> 01:39:50,709
God, where did I find the gall to do that?

1280
01:39:50,834 --> 01:39:53,042
In my eyes.

1281
01:39:54,084 --> 01:39:56,251
I loved you.

1282
01:40:09,459 --> 01:40:11,584
No annulment.

1283
01:40:12,417 --> 01:40:15,292
- What?
- There will be no annulment.

1284
01:40:16,542 --> 01:40:20,126
- Will there not?
- No, I'm afraid you'll have to do without.

1285
01:40:20,251 --> 01:40:23,792
Well, it was just a whim.

1286
01:40:23,917 --> 01:40:26,126
I'm so relieved.

1287
01:40:26,251 --> 01:40:28,584
I didn't want to lose you.

1288
01:40:29,792 --> 01:40:35,001
Out of curiosity,
as intellectual to intellectual,

1289
01:40:35,126 --> 01:40:38,751
how in the name of bleeding Jesus
can you lose me?

1290
01:40:40,084 --> 01:40:43,042
Do we ever see each other?
Am I ever near you, ever with you?

1291
01:40:43,167 --> 01:40:47,167
Am I ever anywhere but somewhere else?
Do I write? Do we send messages?

1292
01:40:47,292 --> 01:40:50,459
Do dinghies bearing gifts
float up the Thames to you?

1293
01:40:50,584 --> 01:40:53,126
- Are you remembered?
- You are.

1294
01:40:53,251 --> 01:40:56,667
You're no part of me.
We do not touch at any point.

1295
01:40:56,792 --> 01:40:58,792
How can you lose me?

1296
01:40:58,917 --> 01:41:01,251
Can't you feel the chains?

1297
01:41:01,376 --> 01:41:04,376
You know me well enough
to know I can't be stopped.

1298
01:41:04,501 --> 01:41:07,459
I don't have to stop you.
I have only to delay you.

1299
01:41:08,292 --> 01:41:11,334
Every enemy you have
has friends in Rome.

1300
01:41:11,459 --> 01:41:13,917
We'll cost you time.

1301
01:41:14,042 --> 01:41:17,126
What is this? I'm not mouldering.

1302
01:41:17,251 --> 01:41:20,209
My paint's not peeling off.
I'm good for years.

1303
01:41:20,334 --> 01:41:21,667
How many years?

1304
01:41:22,292 --> 01:41:26,334
Suppose I hold you back for one.
I can. It's possible.

1305
01:41:26,459 --> 01:41:31,501
Suppose your first son dies.
Ours did. It's possible.

1306
01:41:31,626 --> 01:41:34,667
Suppose you're daughtered next.
We were.

1307
01:41:34,792 --> 01:41:37,042
That, too, is possible.

1308
01:41:38,042 --> 01:41:41,334
How old is Daddy then?

1309
01:41:41,834 --> 01:41:48,376
What kind of spindly, rickett-ridden,
milky, wizened, dim-eyed,

1310
01:41:48,501 --> 01:41:53,917
gammy-handed,
limpy line of things will you beget?

1311
01:41:54,042 --> 01:41:56,459
It's sweet of you to care.

1312
01:41:56,584 --> 01:42:00,542
And when you die,
which is regrettable but necessary,

1313
01:42:00,667 --> 01:42:05,584
what will happen to frail Alais
and her pruney prince?

1314
01:42:06,459 --> 01:42:11,959
You can't think Richard's going to wait
for your grotesque to grow.

1315
01:42:12,084 --> 01:42:15,042
You wouldn't let him do a thing like that.

1316
01:42:15,167 --> 01:42:19,709
Let him?
I'd push him through the nursery door.

1317
01:42:19,834 --> 01:42:21,917
You're not that cruel.

1318
01:42:23,126 --> 01:42:27,792
Don't fret.
We'll wait until you're dead to do it.

1319
01:42:27,917 --> 01:42:31,126
Eleanor, what do you want?

1320
01:42:31,251 --> 01:42:33,584
Just what you want -
a king for a son.

1321
01:42:33,709 --> 01:42:37,126
You can make more, I can't.
You think I want to disappear?

1322
01:42:37,251 --> 01:42:42,626
One son is all I've got,
and you can blot him out and call me cruel?

1323
01:42:43,292 --> 01:42:46,167
For these ten years,
you've lived with everything I've lost

1324
01:42:46,292 --> 01:42:50,042
and loved another woman through it all,
and I am cruel?

1325
01:42:50,167 --> 01:42:56,751
I could peel you like a pear
and God himself would call it justice.

1326
01:42:58,959 --> 01:43:01,001
I will die sometime soon.

1327
01:43:02,459 --> 01:43:04,292
One day, I'll duck too slow,

1328
01:43:04,417 --> 01:43:07,834
and at Westminster, they'll sing out
"long live the king" for someone else.

1329
01:43:07,959 --> 01:43:10,251
I beg you, let it be a son of mine.

1330
01:43:10,959 --> 01:43:16,167
- I am <i>not</i> moved to tears.
- I have no sons.

1331
01:43:16,292 --> 01:43:20,292
You have too many sons.
You don't need more.

1332
01:43:25,084 --> 01:43:26,917
Well, wish me luck. I'm off.

1333
01:43:28,084 --> 01:43:31,042
- To Rome?
- That's where they keep the Pope.

1334
01:43:31,167 --> 01:43:33,126
You don't dare go!

1335
01:43:33,251 --> 01:43:36,292
Say that again at noon,
you'll say it to my horse's arse!

1336
01:43:36,417 --> 01:43:39,876
Lamb, I'll be rid of you by Easter!
You can count your reigning days!

1337
01:43:40,001 --> 01:43:42,667
- You go to Rome, we'll rise against you!
- Who will?

1338
01:43:42,792 --> 01:43:45,084
Richard, Geoffrey,
John and Eleanor of Aquitaine.

1339
01:43:45,209 --> 01:43:48,584
The day those stout hearts band together
is the day that pigs get wings!

1340
01:43:48,709 --> 01:43:52,001
There'll be pork in the tree tops
come morning!

1341
01:43:53,459 --> 01:43:56,584
Don't you see you've given them
a common cause? New sons!

1342
01:43:56,709 --> 01:43:58,917
You leave the country and you've lost it.

1343
01:44:01,917 --> 01:44:06,334
- All of you at once?
- And Philip, too. He'd join us.

1344
01:44:08,126 --> 01:44:09,584
Yes, he would.

1345
01:44:11,126 --> 01:44:15,001
Now, how's your trip to Rome?

1346
01:44:15,126 --> 01:44:18,834
Oh, I've got you, got you, got you.

1347
01:44:20,792 --> 01:44:24,126
Should I take 1,000 men-at-arms
or is that showy?

1348
01:44:24,251 --> 01:44:26,167
Bluff away!

1349
01:44:26,292 --> 01:44:31,376
Ah, poor thing. How can I break the news?
You've just miscalculated.

1350
01:44:31,501 --> 01:44:33,709
Have I? How?

1351
01:44:33,834 --> 01:44:36,001
You should have lied.

1352
01:44:36,126 --> 01:44:38,417
You should have promised
to be good while I was gone.

1353
01:44:38,542 --> 01:44:42,584
I would have let your three boys loose.
They could have fought me, then.

1354
01:44:42,709 --> 01:44:44,792
You wouldn't keep your sons
locked up here!

1355
01:44:44,917 --> 01:44:46,792
- Why the devil wouldn't I?
- You wouldn't dare.

1356
01:44:46,917 --> 01:44:49,417
- Why not? Let them sit in Chinon!
- I forbid it.

1357
01:44:49,542 --> 01:44:50,792
She forbids it!

1358
01:44:50,917 --> 01:44:53,751
Did your father sleep with me
or didn't he?

1359
01:44:56,251 --> 01:44:58,542
No doubt you're going to tell me
that he did.

1360
01:44:58,667 --> 01:45:00,251
Would it upset you?

1361
01:45:01,459 --> 01:45:04,542
What about the 1,000 men?
I say be gaudy and to hell with it.

1362
01:45:04,667 --> 01:45:06,209
Don't leave me, Henry.

1363
01:45:06,334 --> 01:45:08,501
I'm at rock bottom.
I'll do anything to keep you.

1364
01:45:08,626 --> 01:45:11,209
I think you think you mean it.

1365
01:45:11,334 --> 01:45:14,459
- Ask for something.
- Eleanor, we're past it, years past.

1366
01:45:14,584 --> 01:45:17,001
- Test me. Name an act.
- There isn't one!

1367
01:45:17,126 --> 01:45:20,792
- About my fornication with your father.
- Yes, there is. You can expire.

1368
01:45:20,917 --> 01:45:23,251
You first, old man.
I only hope I'm there to watch.

1369
01:45:23,376 --> 01:45:27,292
You're so afraid of dying.
You're so scared of it.

1370
01:45:27,417 --> 01:45:29,584
Ah, poor Eleanor. If only she'd lied.

1371
01:45:29,709 --> 01:45:33,792
She did.
She said she never loved your father.

1372
01:45:34,501 --> 01:45:36,292
I can always count on you.

1373
01:45:36,417 --> 01:45:40,459
I never touched you without thinking,
"Geoffrey, Geoffrey."

1374
01:45:40,584 --> 01:45:43,042
The day you hurt me, I'll cry out.

1375
01:45:43,167 --> 01:45:46,292
I've put more horns on you
than Louis ever wore.

1376
01:45:46,417 --> 01:45:49,126
- Am I supposed to care?
- I'll kill you if you leave me.

1377
01:45:49,251 --> 01:45:53,251
- You can try.
- I loved your father's body.

1378
01:45:53,376 --> 01:45:55,501
- He was beautiful.
- It never happened.

1379
01:45:55,626 --> 01:45:58,542
I can see his body now.
Shall I describe it?

1380
01:45:58,667 --> 01:46:01,667
- Eleanor, I hope you die!
- His arms were rough with scars.

1381
01:46:01,792 --> 01:46:04,251
- No!
- I can feel his arms!

1382
01:46:04,376 --> 01:46:07,667
I feel them! I feel it!

1383
01:46:07,792 --> 01:46:11,667
I can feel him. I feel it.

1384
01:46:11,792 --> 01:46:14,209
What? Have I hurt you?

1385
01:46:15,792 --> 01:46:18,001
We did it!

1386
01:46:18,126 --> 01:46:20,959
You were in the next room
when we did it!

1387
01:46:38,709 --> 01:46:44,834
Well, what family
doesn't have its ups and downs?

1388
01:46:49,917 --> 01:46:51,917
I'm cold.

1389
01:46:53,292 --> 01:46:55,626
I can't feel anything.

1390
01:46:57,084 --> 01:46:59,209
Not anything at all.

1391
01:47:02,209 --> 01:47:06,334
We couldn't go back,
could we, Henry?

1392
01:47:12,126 --> 01:47:13,542
William!

1393
01:47:19,542 --> 01:47:21,709
Up! Up!

1394
01:47:23,292 --> 01:47:25,542
Up! Up! Up!

1395
01:47:27,084 --> 01:47:28,709
Up! Up!

1396
01:47:31,917 --> 01:47:35,251
When the king is off his arse,
nobody sleeps!

1397
01:49:45,292 --> 01:49:46,876
Up!

1398
01:49:47,001 --> 01:49:50,292
Up! Up! Up!

1399
01:49:58,167 --> 01:50:01,292
Tell her to pack.
She leaves when it's light.

1400
01:50:20,459 --> 01:50:22,251
Out! Out!

1401
01:50:39,542 --> 01:50:41,167
Come on!

1402
01:52:23,084 --> 01:52:25,709
- Henry?
- We're packing up and moving out.

1403
01:52:25,834 --> 01:52:29,834
Is there a war? What's happened?
Henry, what's the matter?

1404
01:52:29,959 --> 01:52:31,917
Nothing, for a change.
Would you believe it?

1405
01:52:32,042 --> 01:52:33,501
Where have you been all night?

1406
01:52:33,626 --> 01:52:35,834
- Making us an entourage.
- What for?

1407
01:52:35,959 --> 01:52:40,292
- We're off to Rome to see the Pope.
- He's excommunicated you again?

1408
01:52:41,251 --> 01:52:44,459
No, he's going to set me free.
I'm having Eleanor annulled.

1409
01:52:44,584 --> 01:52:47,501
The nation will be shocked to learn
our marriage wasn't consummated.

1410
01:52:47,626 --> 01:52:49,626
- Oh, be serious.
- I am.

1411
01:52:49,751 --> 01:52:52,334
It seems that you and I
are getting married.

1412
01:52:55,001 --> 01:52:57,251
By the Pope himself.

1413
01:53:01,459 --> 01:53:03,417
You mean it?

1414
01:53:03,542 --> 01:53:05,501
Shall I kneel?

1415
01:53:07,292 --> 01:53:08,709
It's not another trick?

1416
01:53:08,834 --> 01:53:12,501
The bridal party's drilling
on the cobblestones.

1417
01:53:30,542 --> 01:53:33,417
- She'll find a way to stop us.
- How? She won't be here.

1418
01:53:33,542 --> 01:53:36,126
We're launching her for Salisbury tower
when the winds change.

1419
01:53:36,251 --> 01:53:40,001
- She'll be down the river by lunch time.
- If she doesn't stop us, Richard will.

1420
01:53:40,126 --> 01:53:41,917
Not anymore, I've corked him up.

1421
01:53:42,042 --> 01:53:44,001
He's in the cellar
with his brothers and the wine.

1422
01:53:44,126 --> 01:53:47,626
The royal boys are ageing
with the royal port. You haven't said yes.

1423
01:53:47,751 --> 01:53:49,501
Would you like a formal declaration?

1424
01:53:49,626 --> 01:53:53,376
There. My finest angle -
it's on all the coins.

1425
01:53:55,292 --> 01:53:58,584
Sad Alais, will you marry me?

1426
01:54:00,042 --> 01:54:01,792
Be my queen?

1427
01:54:02,709 --> 01:54:05,334
We'll love each other
and you'll give me sons.

1428
01:54:05,459 --> 01:54:08,667
Let's have six.
We'll do Eleanor one better.

1429
01:54:08,792 --> 01:54:10,917
We'll call the first one Louis,
if you like.

1430
01:54:11,042 --> 01:54:14,459
<i>Louis le premier.</i>
How's that for the king of England?

1431
01:54:17,584 --> 01:54:19,126
Well?

1432
01:54:22,959 --> 01:54:25,417
Henry, you can't ever let them out.

1433
01:54:26,834 --> 01:54:30,667
- You've lost me. Let who out?
- Your sons.

1434
01:54:30,792 --> 01:54:34,792
You've put them in the dungeon
and you've got to keep them there forever.

1435
01:54:37,209 --> 01:54:38,667
Do I now?

1436
01:54:38,792 --> 01:54:42,459
If they're free when you die,
it's the dungeon or the nunnery for me.

1437
01:54:43,501 --> 01:54:46,917
- But, Henry, what about the child?
- Don't bother me about the child.

1438
01:54:47,042 --> 01:54:50,626
- The damn thing isn't born yet.
- If they're free, they'll kill it.

1439
01:54:51,292 --> 01:54:55,542
And I will not live
to see our children murdered.

1440
01:55:00,667 --> 01:55:02,126
Henry!

1441
01:55:05,501 --> 01:55:07,959
Are you going down?

1442
01:55:11,751 --> 01:55:15,459
To let them out or to keep them in?

1443
01:55:20,792 --> 01:55:25,001
Could you say to a child of yours,

1444
01:55:25,126 --> 01:55:28,542
"You've seen the sunlight
for the last time"?

1445
01:55:30,792 --> 01:55:33,001
Can you do it, Henry?

1446
01:55:35,792 --> 01:55:39,917
I shall have to, shan't I?

1447
01:58:30,001 --> 01:58:31,959
He's here.

1448
01:58:33,751 --> 01:58:37,542
He'll get no satisfaction out of me.
He isn't going to see me beg.

1449
01:58:37,667 --> 01:58:41,126
Why, you chivalric fool.
As if the way one fell down mattered.

1450
01:58:42,459 --> 01:58:45,167
When the fall is all there is,
it matters.

1451
01:59:05,251 --> 01:59:08,667
My barge is sailing with the tide,
and I've come to say goodbye.

1452
01:59:08,792 --> 01:59:11,792
- Does Henry know you're here?
- I've brought you each a little something.

1453
01:59:11,917 --> 01:59:13,626
What's he planning?
Is he going to keep us here?

1454
01:59:13,751 --> 01:59:16,334
- I picked it out especially.
- For God's sake, Mother!

1455
01:59:23,084 --> 01:59:25,126
- How heavy is the guard?
- That's taken care of.

1456
01:59:25,251 --> 01:59:28,459
- What about the courtyard?
- It's chaos. You can walk right out.

1457
01:59:28,584 --> 01:59:31,251
We'll go to Poitiers and meet him
with an army when he comes.

1458
01:59:31,376 --> 01:59:33,084
Stick close to me.
When you run, run hard.

1459
01:59:33,209 --> 01:59:35,334
- Why run at all? I think we ought to stay.
- Stay here?

1460
01:59:35,459 --> 01:59:39,209
Till Henry comes. He will come, won't he?
And he'll come alone.

1461
01:59:40,084 --> 01:59:42,084
- I count three knives to one.
- You think we could?

1462
01:59:42,709 --> 01:59:46,001
- I'd only do it wrong. You kill him, I'll watch.
- Where are you going?

1463
01:59:46,792 --> 01:59:49,334
- Up for air.
- Don't stop her.

1464
01:59:50,167 --> 01:59:51,876
You don't think I'll let this happen.

1465
01:59:52,001 --> 01:59:55,501
If you tell, there'll be a rash of executions,
and you don't want that.

1466
01:59:55,626 --> 01:59:58,001
No, you don't want to lose one of us,
not even me.

1467
01:59:58,126 --> 02:00:00,667
You're clever,
but I wonder if you're right.

1468
02:00:00,792 --> 02:00:04,126
You warn him, it's the end of us.
You warn him not, it's the end of him.

1469
02:00:04,251 --> 02:00:06,459
It's that clear.

1470
02:00:06,584 --> 02:00:09,251
- Take the knives and run.
- No, Geoffrey's right.

1471
02:00:10,501 --> 02:00:12,542
You're not an assassin.

1472
02:00:13,417 --> 02:00:15,376
Look again.

1473
02:00:15,501 --> 02:00:18,042
- Richard!
- Spare me that! You brought these things!

1474
02:00:18,167 --> 02:00:22,626
- You want him dead? You do it.
- You unnatural animal.

1475
02:00:22,751 --> 02:00:25,542
Unnatural, Mummy?
You tell me, what's nature's way?

1476
02:00:25,667 --> 02:00:29,084
If poison mushrooms grow
and babies come with crooked backs,

1477
02:00:29,209 --> 02:00:34,834
if goitres thrive and dogs go mad
and wives kill husbands, what's unnatural?

1478
02:00:34,959 --> 02:00:39,209
Come, here stands your lamb.
Come cover him in kisses. He's all yours.

1479
02:00:39,334 --> 02:00:41,126
You're not mine.

1480
02:00:41,251 --> 02:00:43,126
I'm not responsible.

1481
02:00:43,251 --> 02:00:46,126
Where do you think I learned this from?
Who do you think I studied under?

1482
02:00:46,251 --> 02:00:48,209
How old was I
when you fought with Henry first?

1483
02:00:48,334 --> 02:00:50,667
- Young. I don't know.
- How many battles did I watch?

1484
02:00:50,792 --> 02:00:53,334
Those were battles,
not a knife behind a door.

1485
02:00:53,459 --> 02:00:55,209
I never heard a corpse ask
how it got cold.

1486
02:00:55,334 --> 02:00:57,084
What were you thinking
when you fought him?

1487
02:00:57,209 --> 02:00:58,584
- You.
- Your unnatural animal?

1488
02:00:58,709 --> 02:01:01,542
- I did it all for you!
- You wanted Father dead.

1489
02:01:01,667 --> 02:01:03,501
- No, never that.
- You tried to kill him.

1490
02:01:03,626 --> 02:01:06,167
- Yes!
- Why? What did you want?

1491
02:01:06,292 --> 02:01:09,417
I wanted Henry back.

1492
02:01:11,792 --> 02:01:13,167
Liar!

1493
02:01:15,459 --> 02:01:17,917
I wanted Henry.

1494
02:01:20,042 --> 02:01:22,834
Don't trust her.
She'll warn him if she gets a chance.

1495
02:01:27,376 --> 02:01:31,792
Dear, dear!
Whatever shall we do with Mother?

1496
02:02:10,126 --> 02:02:12,334
It wants light.

1497
02:02:16,584 --> 02:02:21,417
What we do in dungeons
needs the shades of day.

1498
02:02:23,959 --> 02:02:26,459
I stole the candles from the chapel.

1499
02:02:26,584 --> 02:02:30,542
Jesus won't begrudge them
and the chaplain works for me.

1500
02:02:31,501 --> 02:02:34,834
- You look dreadful.
- So do you.

1501
02:02:36,167 --> 02:02:38,376
I under-slept a little.

1502
02:02:41,251 --> 02:02:43,917
We can all rest in a little while.

1503
02:02:49,167 --> 02:02:52,626
There, that's better.

1504
02:02:53,292 --> 02:02:55,959
Bright and clear, just like the morning.

1505
02:02:58,334 --> 02:03:00,376
Fine looking boy.

1506
02:03:03,709 --> 02:03:06,667
What do you want from us?
You must be mad.

1507
02:03:07,584 --> 02:03:10,834
Why did you have to come here?
Damn it, why did you come?

1508
02:03:11,792 --> 02:03:14,792
You were the best. I told her so.

1509
02:03:17,417 --> 02:03:19,084
You, I loved.

1510
02:03:19,209 --> 02:03:22,334
You're going to keep us here.

1511
02:03:22,459 --> 02:03:24,417
You can't ever let me out.

1512
02:03:24,542 --> 02:03:28,042
You know you can't
because I'll never stop.

1513
02:03:29,792 --> 02:03:32,167
I can't stop either.

1514
02:04:03,167 --> 02:04:06,792
Brave boys, that's what I have.

1515
02:04:13,459 --> 02:04:15,042
Come for me.

1516
02:04:38,834 --> 02:04:41,792
What's wrong?
You're Richard, aren't you?

1517
02:04:42,959 --> 02:04:44,667
But you're Henry.

1518
02:04:44,792 --> 02:04:48,251
Please, take me back.
Can't we try again?

1519
02:04:49,167 --> 02:04:51,292
- Again?
- We always have before.

1520
02:04:51,417 --> 02:04:55,292
Oh, yes, we always have.

1521
02:05:01,334 --> 02:05:02,834
Go on!

1522
02:05:13,792 --> 02:05:15,834
Execute him.

1523
02:05:18,126 --> 02:05:20,459
They're assassins, aren't they?

1524
02:05:21,667 --> 02:05:24,417
This was treason, wasn't it?

1525
02:05:25,542 --> 02:05:29,292
You gave them life. You take it.

1526
02:05:36,709 --> 02:05:40,834
Who's to say it's monstrous?
I'm the king. I call it just.

1527
02:05:48,834 --> 02:05:52,084
Therefore, I, Henry, by the grace of God,
King of the English,

1528
02:05:52,209 --> 02:05:55,959
Lord of Scotland, Ireland and Wales,

1529
02:05:56,084 --> 02:05:59,001
Count of Anjou, Brittany,
Poitou and Normandy,

1530
02:05:59,126 --> 02:06:01,626
Maine, Gascony and Aquitaine...

1531
02:06:02,959 --> 02:06:05,876
...do sentence you to death.

1532
02:06:06,001 --> 02:06:10,501
Done this Christmas day in Chinon
in God's year 1183.

1533
02:06:13,834 --> 02:06:18,751
♪ Media vita in morte sumus

1534
02:06:19,792 --> 02:06:24,667
♪ Media vita in morte sumus

1535
02:06:24,792 --> 02:06:30,209
♪ Media vita in morte sumus
Media vita in morte sumus... ♪

1536
02:06:37,209 --> 02:06:38,501
Aagh!

1537
02:06:57,126 --> 02:07:00,001
Surely that's not what I intended.

1538
02:07:03,459 --> 02:07:04,917
Children.

1539
02:07:07,084 --> 02:07:08,584
Children.

1540
02:07:12,834 --> 02:07:15,126
They're all we have.

1541
02:07:18,209 --> 02:07:19,834
Go on.

1542
02:07:21,292 --> 02:07:23,042
I'm done.

1543
02:07:26,251 --> 02:07:27,917
I'm finished with you.

1544
02:07:29,459 --> 02:07:31,417
You and I are finished.

1545
02:07:59,542 --> 02:08:03,584
You spare the rod,
you'll spoil those boys.

1546
02:08:09,667 --> 02:08:12,251
I couldn't do it, Eleanor.

1547
02:08:14,209 --> 02:08:16,417
Nobody thought you could.

1548
02:08:24,292 --> 02:08:26,376
Come, rest.

1549
02:08:27,542 --> 02:08:30,376
I want no women in my life.

1550
02:08:31,417 --> 02:08:32,626
You're tired.

1551
02:08:32,751 --> 02:08:38,834
I could have conquered Europe, all of it,
but I had women in my life.

1552
02:08:40,959 --> 02:08:43,251
Go on, get out. Go on.

1553
02:08:52,501 --> 02:08:55,334
I should have killed you years ago.

1554
02:08:56,376 --> 02:09:00,501
You put me here. You made me do
mad things. You've bled me.

1555
02:09:00,626 --> 02:09:03,167
Shoulder it yourself.

1556
02:09:04,084 --> 02:09:06,292
Don't put it on my back.

1557
02:09:06,417 --> 02:09:10,126
Pick it up and carry it. I can.

1558
02:09:10,251 --> 02:09:13,917
My losses are <i>my</i> work.

1559
02:09:14,042 --> 02:09:18,417
What losses?
I'm the one with nothing.

1560
02:09:19,126 --> 02:09:21,459
Lost your life's work, have you?

1561
02:09:23,042 --> 02:09:27,459
Provinces are nothing. Land is dirt.

1562
02:09:29,001 --> 02:09:33,209
I could take defeats like yours and laugh.
I've done it.

1563
02:09:34,251 --> 02:09:37,626
If you're broken,
it's because you're brittle.

1564
02:09:39,792 --> 02:09:43,084
I've lost...

1565
02:09:43,209 --> 02:09:45,376
you.

1566
02:09:45,501 --> 02:09:48,959
And I can't ever have you back again.

1567
02:09:52,167 --> 02:09:55,667
You're all that I have ever loved.

1568
02:09:57,209 --> 02:10:01,376
Christ, you don't know what "nothing" is.

1569
02:10:03,001 --> 02:10:05,667
- I want to die.
- No, you don't.

1570
02:10:05,792 --> 02:10:08,626
- I want to die.
- I'll hold you.

1571
02:10:08,751 --> 02:10:12,042
- Henry, I want to die.
- Eleanor.

1572
02:10:12,167 --> 02:10:14,834
- I want to die.
- Let me hold you.

1573
02:10:14,959 --> 02:10:17,126
I want to die.

1574
02:10:18,001 --> 02:10:20,292
You will, you know, some day.

1575
02:10:21,167 --> 02:10:24,126
Just wait long enough and it'll happen.

1576
02:10:28,459 --> 02:10:30,334
So it will.

1577
02:10:36,042 --> 02:10:41,042
We're in the cellar and you're going back
to prison and my life is wasted

1578
02:10:41,167 --> 02:10:45,417
and we've lost each other
and you're smiling.

1579
02:10:48,042 --> 02:10:51,834
It's the way I register despair.

1580
02:10:55,292 --> 02:10:58,251
There's everything in life but hope.

1581
02:11:01,542 --> 02:11:03,626
We're both alive.

1582
02:11:05,542 --> 02:11:08,251
For all I know, that's what hope is.

1583
02:11:16,834 --> 02:11:19,792
We're jungle creatures, Henry.

1584
02:11:21,376 --> 02:11:25,001
And the dark is all around us.

1585
02:11:27,459 --> 02:11:30,376
See them in the corners?

1586
02:11:31,751 --> 02:11:34,001
You can see the eyes.

1587
02:11:42,376 --> 02:11:44,751
And they can see ours.

1588
02:11:55,126 --> 02:11:58,876
I'm a match for anything.
Aren't you?

1589
02:12:00,459 --> 02:12:05,751
I should have been a great fool
not to love you.

1590
02:12:24,417 --> 02:12:26,876
You'll let me out for Easter?

1591
02:12:27,001 --> 02:12:30,417
Come the resurrection,
you can strike me down again.

1592
02:12:30,542 --> 02:12:33,834
- Perhaps next time I'll do it.
- And perhaps you won't.

1593
02:12:45,167 --> 02:12:48,626
You know, I hope we never die!

1594
02:12:48,751 --> 02:12:50,667
So do I.

1595
02:12:50,792 --> 02:12:53,292
Do you think there's any chance of it?
