"All my father's work finished and it's my fault!" "There is to be a summit between king francis and king henry." "Now he's not only charles v, the king of spain,he's also the holy roman emperor!" "It may suit us better to do business with him than" "Together,how could the french withstand us?" "Is the emperor in fact sincere about this treaty?" "Of course he is." "The emperor has won a great victory against the french." "The french king was also captured on the battlefield." "He's now the emperor's prisoner." "The king of portugal, your future husband,loves and respects you." "You must love him in return." "Remember your promise." "When he dies,I marry whom I choose." "Take care of her." "I will." "I have no doubts." "Some men who seem at the peak of health suddenly collapse and die." "Some old men, they can go on for years." "Do you tease me because it amuses you?" "Why else?" "Because you love me." "How do our affairs proceed?" "The king makes no obvious declaration but it's possible to detect it in the way he glances at her." "You must know I desire you with all my heart." "Now everything has changed." "I married my brother's wife and god has punished me." "I want a divorce." "And you will get one for me." "You think you know a story." "But you only know how it ends." "To get to the heart of the story, you have to go back to the beginning."

"His eminence, cardinal wolsey." "Your majesty." "I see his majesty's bastard son is made a duke." "Does this mean he is next in rank to his majesty?" "Next in line to the throne?" "Above my daughter?" "Yes." "Technically." "He is set above all others, except for... a legitimate son." "His majesty loves our daughter." "He has shown it on many occasions." "I cannot believe he wishes to place his bastard child above her!" "I do not believe... that his majesty was personally responsible for this action." "After all, our daughter is engaged to the emperor." "Then your majesty has not heard." "The emperor has married princess isabella of portugal." "Apparently he decided it was not worth waiting for your daughter to grow up." "And who is to say but perhaps he was influenced by the fact that the beautiful isabella brought with her a dowry of 1 million pounds." "He broke his word." "My lord." "How your tokens and signs of affection frighten me." "How can I be to you what you think me to be?" "You know I am a commoner and I think myself unworthy of your love." "Thither offer of it and the passion of your majesty's words and looks touch both my heart and soul." ""You have flattered me with so many and such wondrous gifts.""

"We shall come to england eventually." "Marry me." "What?" "You heard me." "Marry me." "My poor sister." "Indeed." "To be made queen for just a few days." "It seems incredible." "A tragedy." "Upon her return she is to be treated to every comfort and kindness,while she mourns." "As to the great matter of your majesty's annulment." "I have set up an ecclesiastical court with archbishop warham to consider and decide on the matter." "It will meet in secret, if your majesty agrees." "Make sure they come to the right decision." "Quickly." "I have some further news." "About the emperor." "He has released king francis." "What?" "!" "I have it on good authority." "Under what terms?" "!" "I have yet to find out."

"Your majesty." " Majesty." " Open the door!" "*****" "Mary." "Mary." "Go to your room." "I will come later." "Another visit, your eminence!" "Majesty,I have some good news." "Since his majesty has given his son,the duke of richmond his own establishment, he considers it only should also have hers." "What do you mean?" "His majesty intends to send the princess to ludlow castle in the welsh marches." "She will be under the care of lady salisbury, her lady governess." "Her tutor, dr." "Fetherston will also accompany her, along with 300 members of the princess's household." "She is to be taken away from me?" "No." "His majesty is according her the true honours of a princess." "This is your idea." "Madam,I am often accused of things that are not my fault or responsibility." "Some people are always prone to speak evil without knowledge of the truth." "I fear they may have poisoned your majesty's mind against me." "You are taking my child from me!" "My child!" "You are tearing her from me,as if you were tearing her from my womb."

"Deeds he keeps for others!" "The emperor would never betray your majesty." "Never!" "He regards you as his uncle he his fucking uncle!" "How old am I?" "Well,your highness must consider that you, yourself,may not always have kept to your obligations." "After all,we received only half the amount of gold that was promised." "Your accusations are totally false!" "Unacceptable!" "I will answer for my honourable conduct, whoever contradicts me!" "Leave." "My lord rochford." "Yes,your honour." "The emperor sends you his warmest congratulations on your elevation." "What does the emperor care about my elevation?" "He cares to have friends at the english court and pays for the privilege." "Does he have many friends here already?" "Several." "You would know them." "And what does friendship pay?" "1000 crowns a year." "I will certainly consider his highness's gracious offer." "Your grace." "My lord!" "So how did you find the imperial ambassador?" "Stimulating." "Indeed." "I find him a man of great principle." "Indeed." "Hallelujah." "Hallelujah indeed." "My lord."

"Just imagine, the king of england writing to my little sister promising to be her servant." "It's incredible." "Give me the letter." "He's in love with you." "Give the letter!" "You're not in love with him are you?" "He wants a divorce?" "!" "It's not a divorce." "The king wants an annulment on the grounds that he was never married in the first place." "By marrying his brother's wife he has offended the laws of both god and man." "He simply wants that recognized." "The pope gave him a dispensation to marry katherine!" "Indeed he did." "No one denies it." "But the king feels more beholden to god than he does to the pope." "His conscience is genuinely stricken,and tender." "He has disobeyed god's injunction and there's nothing his holiness can say or do that can alter that fact." "The pope is god's representative on earth." "He speaks for him." "Oh,come,come thomas." "What are you pretending?" "!" "Kings get divorced all the time." "And popes always find an excuse." "I know you're an idealist but you're not stupid!" "If henry wants an annulment who's to stop him?" "Alright." "You talk of fact." "Let me give you a fact." "Catherine of aragon is not only a great queen and the daughter of great kings, she is also immensely popular throughout the whole of the country." "God forbid that the king should abandon her just to ease his own conscience." "I don't think the english people would ever forgive him." "Does she know yet?" "LAMBETB CBURCB" "Behold the cross on which hung the savior of the world." "Behold the cross on which hung the savior of the world." "Behold the cross on which hung the savior of the world." "Good people of lambeth." "On this good friday the queen's majesty will distribute alms to you unfortunate but true and loyal subjects of their majesties... in the christian spirit of charity and love." "Bless you." "And you." "God be with you." "*****" "In good faith." "Your majesty,I beseech you, help me." "God bless you." "Do not be afraid." "You are god's child." "Bless you." "Wanna see our business?" "Sorry,love." "My dear william." "Charles,welcome back, good to see you." "You too." "Come, sit down,have a drink." "I just don't understand." "Why here?" "We've been expecting you back at court." "How is the king?" "Anxiously awaiting his sister to share her grief." "We're married." "What?" "She... and me!" "We're married." "You and...?" "Yes." "Here you are,sir." "You have to tell him." "You have to tell the king." "I have to tell him?" "Why do I have to tell him?" "Because it'd be better coming from you." "What's the matter,charles?" "Have you lost your nerve?" "This is no laughing matter." "Then why did you do it?" "You know me." "I don't always think." "Yes you do." "Just not with your head!" "Huh?" "Henry?" "You katherine,I have something to tell you." "As far as I'm concerned our marriage is at an end." "Actually... there is no need to end something which has never been." "You and I were never truly married." "There was a misunderstanding of scripture and a papal misapplication of canon law." "It's true I..." "I did not know about these things before but... but it has been brought to light by learned opinion." "And it weighs down my conscience." "It has forced me to give up your bed and board once and for all." "All that remains is for you to choose where to live and to retire there as quickly as possible." "I swear to you all will be done for the best." "Your grace,my lords..." "I believe you know why we are gathered here,in private." "We are here at his majesty's bidding." "His majesty has requested an inquiry into the nature of his marriage to catherine of aragon, for the tranquility of his conscience and the health of his soul." "For as it says in leviticus:" ""If a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an impurity;" "he has covered his brother's nakedness;" "they shall be childless."" "Now,if my lords,we are able to agree between ourselves that the marriage was, in fact,never legal, and was proceeded with against both canon and ecclesiastical law as his majesty,to his great regret,has come to believe" "then it is my understanding that,as papal legate," "I myself have the power and authority to dissolve and end it." "But of course I would be grateful to hear the opinions of your lordships' on this great matter." "Your grace?" "I am inclined to agree with your eminence, though I reserve judgment until I have heard all opinion." "My lord fisher." "I see no merit in the king's case,so expressed." "None whatsoever." "If there was any obstacle to the king's marriage then it was overcome by the pope's dispensation." "The marriage was therefore legal and as your eminence knows, divorce is disallowed by the church." "That is my opinion." "Madam." "Lady salisbury's here." "Your majesty." "I have brought your daughter to say goodbye." "My baby." "Your majesty must be reassured." "The princess will be well taken care of, as befitting her station." "You will be sent regular reports of her health and accomplishments." "And naturally you will visit her during the course of your majesty's progresses." "You must make sure she practices her music." "She has a great facility for music." "BE STRONG MY DAUGHTER, REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE." "THE DECEENDENT OF ISABELLA AND FERDINAND OF CASTILLE." "THE ONLY DAUGHTER OF THE KING OF ENGLAND." "BE STRONG , AND BE TRUE AND ONE DAY..." "ONE DAY YOU WILL BE QUEEN." "Yes,mama." "Is he sorry?" "Does he repent it?" "Tell me!" "Does he beg my forgiveness?" "Your majesty knows his grace." "You mean he does not?" "!" "Send in my sister." "You are not wearing black." "No,your majesty." "But you are in mourning." "Your husband is dead." "I said your husband is dead!" "He's alive!" "My husband is alive." "I gave you no permission to marry brandon." "Nor would I ever!" "You gave me your promise!" "I was free to choose." "I made no promise!" "You are mistaken!" "How dare you look at me?" "!" "I am your lord and master not your brother!" "You are both banished from court." "You will relinquish your london houses." "You will remove yourself from my sight." "Do you understand?" "Yes... your majesty." "And margaret?" "!" "What?" "I have yet to decide whether to make your bedmate a head shorter." "Say yes." "Say yes." "You're married." "So?" "So... why deny me?" "I do not love you." "Is that all?" "For me." "Yes." "You're so beautiful,tom." "You're a lord." "What am I?" "A genius." "What is it?" "A parcel, your majesty." "Who is it from?" "The lady anne boleyn." "A ship with a woman on board." "What is a ship?" "A ship is protection, like the ark that protected noah." "The diamond?" "What does it say in the roman de la rose?" ""A heart as hard as a diamond," ""steadfast..."" ""never changing."" "She is the diamond and I am the ship." "She says yes!" "King francis is eager for a rapprochement with your majesty." "He is disgusted at the treacherous behaviour of the emperor towards you behaviour he knows only too well having suffered it himself at first hand and offers you instead a true and lasting friendship." "It is true, the emperor has betrayed us." "Perhaps he was never sincere in the first place." "Even so,he still has friends at court." "Which friends?" "My agents intercepted this letter." "The letter is from the queen." "She asks why the emperor doesn't write to her more often." "And promises, as always, to be his true and humble servant." "His servant not mine." "Tell the french ambassador that we are in the mood for a rapprochement with king francis." "Tell him to send delegates." "Let us be allies against this emperor." "My lady." "I lay claim to your maidenhead." "And I make you this promise:" "When we are married, I will deliver you a son." "No." "I shall honour your maidenhead until we are married." "No less can I do for love." "Oh my love." "Love... and by daily proof you shall me find, to be to you both loving and kind." "I hate you!" "You said it would be alright!" "You said he would believe you!" "That's what you said!" "That's what you promised!" "For the love of god,wife!" "Don't call me wife." "I don't want to be your wife." "I hate you!" "No,you don'T." "Yes,I do." "If it weren't for you I would still be the queen of portugal." "And now what am I?" "You are drunk and you are foolish!" "Henry will forgive us." "He is just standing on his pride." "We just wounded his vanity." "Believe me." "Huh." "Why should I?" "I don't know if you're really brave or if you're just a fucking fool." "Neither do I." "Oh god... thank you,alice." "I know you've talked to wolsey." "And I know you do not approve of what I am trying to do." "It's against your conscience." "And I'm not gonna try and change your mind." "That's unlikely, in any case." "But I need you to understand,thomas." "I need to explain." "I have been living with my brother's wife and I have come to believe their marriage was consummated." "If that is true, then I have been living in sin." "Can you understand what that feels like,thomas?" "That is why I asked the cardinal to examine the matter." "But what if it can be proved that the pope's dispensation was valid and that there was no sin?" "Then I shall be the happiest man alive." "I shall be content to live with catherine until the end of my days." "Wait." "I ask you again if the king is so troubled by his conscience, why has he waited so long to bring this matter to a head?" "Because of his love for the queen, he has denied the truth to himself." "But her failure to produce a living son,is proof of it!" "Then he wants to remarry?" "If his marriage is annulled,then yes I am certain he will remarry, in the hope of producing an heir." "He has an heir!" "I do not believe for a moment that the english people will accept his bastard son as a legitimate heir and nor does the king!" "He has a legitimate daughter!" "My lords, english history is littered with the tragedies of those who have tried to pass on their crown to a daughter!" "Then... he has a new wife in mind?" "He has a mind to take one,yes." "It stinks!" "I think you should be careful, my lord." "As should you!" "One of the great advantages of having a library,your eminence, is that it is full of books." "And some of these books contain ecclesiastical law." "And according to those books you have no authority to judge this matter." "It is for the pope alone it is for the pope alone or those whom he appoints." "It seems that in this case,your eminence, your reach has exceeded your grasp!" "So,I have invited a french delegation to visit your majesty's court, to discuss a new treaty, binding us together in the face of the emperor's intransigence and aggression." "Good." "Excellent." "And since the emperor has reneged on his promise to marry your daughter, it could perhaps be politic to resurrect her betrothal to the dauphin." "Or if the dauphin has already promised, perhaps to the duke of orleans, king francis's youngest son." "And what of your secret sessions?" "Have they come to a decision?" "How soon can I expect my annulment?" "Your majesty should not be concerned but uh... we were not able to come to a conclusion." "Not able?" "The matter is a complex one." "Really?" "How?" "It is my considered opinion that we should apply to his holiness,pope clement for a ruling on this matter." "Since he loves your majesty I am certain he will rule in your favour." "Oh,I hope so." "I certainly do hope so." "For your sake." "You can always tell the french." "Oh,yes." "The ponces." "They never did anything so clever as giving wolsey a pension." "He's never failed them." "We must wait and see." "When the wheel of fortune has reached its zenith, there is only one way for it to go." "Mm hmm." "Move aside!" "Out of my way!" "I bring most important news!" "Your majesty!" "Rome has been sacked!" "Let him through!" "Your majesty,I bring most terrible and calamitous news." "Rome has been captured and sacked by the german and spanish mercenaries of the emperor." "They have plundered and befouled its churches, destroyed its relics and holy treasures, tortured and killed thousands of its priests." "What of his holiness?" "The pope is a prisoner in the castel sant'angelo." "He is the emperor's prisoner?" "Yes." "Lady blount." "He caught the sweating sickness." "There was nothing we could do." "He complained this morning of feeling ill." "By this evening he was in the hands of god." "THE TUDORS Season 01Episode 05"
