Hmm. When I look at you, I see nothing of the king,
Only that ***, your mother.
Hmm.
My father never did anything so well as to cut off her head.
Your majesty forgets, he was also my father.
Why will you not confess your crimes against me?
Because, your majesty, I have committed none.
Hmm.
You speak with such sincerity.
I see you're still a consummate actress.
My husband is gone...
They have poisoned my child...
They say it is a tumor--
Oh!
Madam, you are not well--
They say this cancer will make you queen,
But they are wrong!
Look there! It is your death warrant.
All I need do is sign it.
Mary...
If you sign that paper,
You will be murdering your own sister.
You will promise me something? Hmm?
When I am gone,
You will do everything in your power
To uphold the catholic faith.
Do not take away from the people
The consolations of the blessed ***,
Their holy mother.
Hmm?
When I am queen...
I promise...
To...
Act as my conscience dictates.
Well, do not think to be queen at all!
You may return to your own house at hatfield,
But you will remain there under arrest
Until I am recovered!
Thank you, your majesty.
No.
Feed her to the wolves.
Let her see what they are like.
