[Anjou tsking]
361
00:15:58,041 --> 00:16:00,418
[Jeanne]
A king must lead by example
362
00:16:00,543 --> 00:16:03,046
if he is to lead at all.
363
00:16:05,590 --> 00:16:08,385
Oh, come on, Henri.

Oh, God.

Has anyone figured out what's
wrong with our cousin yet?

with a mother like that?

To be honest, I'm not sure
I really want to go to war.

00:16:28,738 --> 00:16:31,658

[fingers snap]

00:16:37,580 --> 00:16:40,375
Completely understandable,
Antoine.
375
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:42,335
But we must not
abandon principle
376
00:16:42,502 --> 00:16:46,631
for something
as pedestrian as... comfort.

- Yes, of course.
378

Look, this-this armor's
no good, Tancrede.
379
00:16:52,429 --> 00:16:54,806
- Yes, my Lord.
- Yeah.
380
00:16:55,765 --> 00:16:58,101
Catherine will give in
to our demands
381
00:16:58,268 --> 00:17:03,273
if she believes we will not
shy away from our duty.
382
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:04,357
So it's a bluff?
383
00:17:04,482 --> 00:17:08,278
Yes, unless the bluff
is called.
384
00:17:09,654 --> 00:17:10,989
Right.
385
00:17:13,742 --> 00:17:16,619
Maybe we should just
become Catholics.
386
00:17:16,786 --> 00:17:18,163
It's too late for that.
387
00:17:18,329 --> 00:17:20,039
I thought it was
never too late,

the whole point.

kept that in my back pocket.

Well, sadly, you were wrong.

That ship has sailed.

It is best you do not visit me

Well, you've never been ashamed
of our association before.

Oh, I'm not ashamed.
408
00:18:21,184 --> 00:18:22,769
But at the moment,
it is neither prudent
409
00:18:22,894 --> 00:18:25,188
nor useful
for people to suspect

that I practice the dark arts.

enriched by the deal.
