https://dai.ly/x93tkjg

Many people are killed in the bridge collapse, including Gwenda's father, the Prior and Caris' good friend Mattie Wise. Earl Roland however is saved by his squire Ralph and successfully treated by Caris using the surgical techniques Matte had taught her. Caris tries to convince Mother Cecelia to build an inn where the sick could be treated. Roland soon marries Lady Marjorie but deals with her swiftly when he learns of her betrayal. With the Prior's death - dead thanks to his mother - Brother Godwyn makes his plans to become Prior. His main opposition is Sir Thomas Langley who he manages to convince not to run. Merthin wins the contract to build the new bridge. The king meanwhile believes he's seen a sign from God that he is the lawful King of France.

00:00You
00:30The dead bodies in the south transept, the injured in the north, the dead in the south
00:47transept, the worse the injury, the closer to the higher altar.
00:51I'm coming, I'm coming.
01:01What's your name?
01:09Clear the way for Lord Roland.
01:19Thank you for saving him.
01:22You're a brave man.
01:24It was an honour, my lady.
01:27May I examine him?
01:29Certainly not.
01:31Take him to your brother, Joseph.
01:41The skull is open to the brain.
01:43Help me turn him over onto his side.
01:56I've never seen him anywhere.
02:08What colours was he wearing?
02:10Do you remember?
02:13This is my dad.
02:17This is my dad.
02:26Help.
02:56Help.
03:15You should have put dung into the owl's wound before closing it, cousin.
03:20It draws out the disease.
03:23Even Oxford doesn't sanction that anymore.
03:26You'd know that if you'd studied medicine.
03:29No, I studied theology.
03:31A higher calling than your diabolic medicine.
03:36What's needed, cousin, is less theology and more of the healing arts.
03:40Do you need more evidence of God's wrath? The bridge collapsed because he is displeased.
03:43The bridge collapsed because it's old and inadequate.
03:45Yes, by God's will.
03:47The punishment is upon Kingsbridge for becoming a haven for witches, whores and filth.
03:54Well, you would know, cousin.
04:17Come on.
04:47There, father.
04:49Yesterday, the French all but sank an English trader by ramming her.
04:53Our sailors escaped death only by grace of the captain's skills.
04:58Sire, this is an act of war.
05:01Is war declared?
05:04No.
05:05No. No, it is not.
05:10Grandmother says that we must invade Calais and march on Paris.
05:14I think I'd rather agree.
05:18Do you even know where Calais is?
05:22Of course I do.
05:27There's Calais.
05:32And there's Paris.
05:39Sire, that is a Roman.
05:48I have been given a sign.
05:52A son of Isabella of France.
05:56Grandson of Philip IV of France, heir of the House of Capet.
06:02I am the lawful godfather of Calais.
06:07I have been given a sign.
06:10A son of Isabella of France.
06:14I am the lawful, god-given king of France.
06:22The blockade of England shall be ended.
06:26And let no man stand between me and my rightful throne.
06:33Once again, the English flag will fly on both sides of the British sea.
06:41God save the Queen!
07:12Still no change?
07:15Neither for the worse nor better.
07:18I have no way of telling how it bodes.
07:21It means God has not made up his mind yet.
07:27I'm so sorry about what they did to Mattie.
07:31Thank you.
07:34I so admired you at her trial.
07:36You had the courage to speak out and I did not.
07:39We need strong women like you in the church.
07:43Me in the church?
07:47Women today are either nun, wife or whore.
07:50A nun is my father priest.
08:03How are you?
08:04Tired.
08:08I just wish Mattie was here.
08:11I can't believe in a church that would kill Mattie.
08:14There's nothing holy about that, it was evil.
08:17I agree.
08:19The one person that could have helped us.
08:23I've only learned a fraction of everything that she knew.
08:26No, no, no, Carys, that's not true.
08:29You work in miracles.
08:30No, no, no, Carys, that's not true.
08:33You work in miracles here.
08:34Am I?
08:36It's chaos.
08:38We can't just leave people strewn across the cathedral floor.
08:41We need a place to put the sick and the injured.
08:44Well, when this is over, we'll build one.
08:48I wouldn't even know where to start.
08:51I said we.
08:56And is that because of your faith in my work?
09:01Or how you feel about me?
09:05Both.
09:12Thank you.
09:14You've given me something to think about.
09:20You mean the building or me?
09:24Both.
09:31Both.
09:54I thought you were an angel.
09:57Scarcely that.
10:01You look so lovely.
10:05I was just dreaming
10:08about the time I first set eyes on you.
10:11The most beautiful woman in Kingsbridge.
10:14And you were the handsomest man.
10:18Were.
10:21Are.
10:23And ever shall be.
10:27How long before we wed?
10:32You're awake.
10:34You're awake!
10:39Praise God!
10:41I've been praying for you daily.
10:44Marjorie.
10:47I just had the strangest dream.
10:52The Stonebridge?
10:53Yes.
10:54No, no, no, no, no, no.
10:55We have debated this before.
10:57Yes, but, brother, with no bridge, there will be no tolls.
11:02No pilgrims, no merchants, and consequently no money.
11:06You'll be bankrupt within the year.
11:08Edmund, Edmund, where is your faith?
11:11God will provide.
11:12He took down the bridge, so obviously we don't need one.
11:16I trust in him, and so should you.
11:19Come, Brother Theodorek.
11:25What if Hall blinded him more ways than one?
11:28God help us if he's elected prior.
11:30Well, who else is running against him?
11:31No one, and that's the problem.
11:32We really need to find an alternative.
11:43Brother Thomas!
11:55You must know that you're the best man.
11:58The only man suitable for the position of prior.
12:01Thank you, Brother Matthias.
12:02You flatter me.
12:04Don't you want to be prior?
12:09I came here to find peace.
12:13And I fear that if I, if I stand, and perhaps worse if I want,
12:20that that peace might elude me.
12:24Well, never forget, for some it is a calling.
12:48You said I'd be prior.
12:50Brother Carlos is running, and all the older monks will vote for him.
12:52Don't worry about Carlos. He's easily taken care of.
12:56Who's running against him?
12:57Brother Thomas announced his candidacy last night.
13:00Brother Thomas?
13:01He's popular with the younger monks, which leaves me without support.
13:06He arrived here as a knight with an arrow through his arm.
13:10The man has a history.
13:12Unearth it.
13:23No less than Queen Isabella sponsored Sir Thomas Langley.
13:28So?
13:31He was stationed at Barclay Castle where the king was murdered,
13:35and arrived here shortly afterward injured and seeking refuge.
13:39He was killed in battle.
13:41He was wounded in battle.
13:43He was killed in battle.
13:45He was killed in battle.
13:47He was killed in battle.
13:49He was killed in battle.
13:50He was taken here afterward injured and seeking refuge.
13:54You think he was involved in the king's death?
13:58Inquire of him.
14:01Measure his answers.
14:07Be careful what you say.
14:09My dear Brother Thomas, I am merely asking.
14:11No, you're not. You're insinuating that I am somehow involved.
14:13No, no, not at all, not at all.
14:15I'm just, I'm just pointing out that since you were stationed
14:17at Barclay Castle where the king was murdered,
14:21it might appear by innuendo that you were somehow embroiled.
14:26Of course I wasn't.
14:27Well, of course you weren't.
14:29But you understand, naturally, a knight who mysteriously
14:33arrives here, injured, seeking refuge.
14:39Oh, and sponsored by the queen, no less.
14:43Some of our fellow monks will want to ask you questions.
14:46Why?
14:48Why now?
14:52Because you're standing for prior now.
14:57And once they know of your past,
15:00there's sure to be a simple inquiry.
15:12I think it's time for your instruction.
15:25I'll find some more prunes here.
15:27Come on.
15:29This way.
15:34No one will disturb us in here.
15:42Come on.
15:58Do you think your father suspects?
16:00Not that I'm fucking his fiance.
16:02I won't tell if you don't.
16:12Before the lord's successor can be appointed,
16:14your inheritance cannot be approved.
16:16My dad's dead, and I'm his only child.
16:19What's to approve?
16:21How will you pay workers?
16:2230 acres is more than one man can manage.
16:24It's not 30 acres.
16:27It's only 20 has to work.
16:28One third of the land is always kept fallow.
16:30It is not your business, woman.
16:32An inheritance from father to son,
16:34that's everyone's business.
16:36She's right, mate.
16:37What do you say to that?
16:39The new lord will have the final decision once he's appointed.
16:42But that could take months.
16:43I miss plowing and sowing by then.
16:46You can prove that you can farm the land
16:47before the new lord takes office.
16:49That should work in your favor.
16:52Next.
16:58Who the hell is she?
17:01I met her at the fair.
17:06Gwenda.
17:09Thanks.
17:10That's all right.
17:12You deserve it.
17:13Get someone to help you plow, and you'll
17:15finish it in no time.
17:17Everything I had was lost in the bridge collapse.
17:19I'll farm it myself.
17:21I'll help.
17:23I know you've done more than enough.
17:25I'm grateful.
17:26Wolfrick.
17:40Wolfrick.
18:02Good morning.
18:04You're wasting your time, Gwenda.
18:07You're wasting yours.
18:09I don't have any.
18:13Then you'll have to do.
18:17I can't pay you, Gwenda.
18:20I've got no money.
18:21Find another way to pay me.
18:23Come on.
18:24You pull, I'll push.
18:28Come on.
18:39Come on.
19:09Come on.
19:17Where's your home?
19:19I don't have one.
19:23Why not?
19:25My father was a mercenary in the Queen's Army,
19:27so I moved around.
19:31I would like to have a home someday.
19:35And all that goes with it.
19:39Who was that girl I saw you with?
19:41Annette.
19:44I want to marry her come autumn.
19:47Well, why isn't she here, child?
19:51Annette in the field.
19:54Doesn't she love you?
19:56Of course she does.
20:00Do you love her?
20:03I've known her since forever.
20:05Her father and mine, they were partners.
20:07So, you know, it's my duty to husband her.
20:13Well, anyway, that's not what I asked.
20:18Of course I love her.
20:21Good.
20:24I'm glad for you, Wilfred.
20:26King's Bridge needs an inn, dedicated exclusively
20:29to nursing the sick, a hospice.
20:31I've never heard of such a thing.
20:33With the bridge collapse, it made me realize
20:34how much we need one here.
20:36God willing, we never have a catastrophe like that again.
20:39No, but pilgrims will always come here to be cured.
20:41Imagine if they could find care as well as miracles.
20:44I'm sure they will.
20:45I'm sure they will.
20:46I'm sure they will.
20:47I'm sure they will.
20:48I'm sure they will.
20:49I'm sure they will.
20:50I'm sure they will.
20:51I'm sure they will.
20:52I'm sure they will.
20:53I'm sure they will.
20:54I could build a bridge to care as well as miracles.
20:56You'd build it here?
20:58The convent owns this land, doesn't it?
21:00Who would run it?
21:01I would.
21:02With your blessing, of course, Mother.
21:05As one of us.
21:09Well, no, as a laywoman.
21:11I've decided to take over Mattie's work.
21:13I understand.
21:15Not everyone is called to God.
21:19But a hospice for the sick, on our land,
21:21of our order it raises a complex set of questions. I'll have to think about it.
21:34I said what's good for the goose is good for the gander. He said it is neither a goose
21:38nor a gander. It is a common duck. And then I said even though I've got a hole in the head
21:44I can still see clearer than you.
21:51You're enjoying the meal. It's all right. Yes thank you. It's quite adequate. No it's okay.
21:57After the wedding tomorrow the monks are to elect a new prior. Yes.
22:04Uh well the candidates are Carlos. I was blind and set in his ways and uh myself.
22:13I would be so grateful for your support. I thought there was a third candidate also.
22:19No no brother Thomas has withdrawn. It seems he had a change of heart.
22:24And why should I support you? Well because that may be so bold.
22:31I wish to return Kingsbridge to its days of glory when prior fell in.
22:36And how would you do that? By suppressing temptation. I'll uh I'll build a wall
22:43separating monks from nuns. Whores will be hanged and virgins will have their heads cut.
22:47Not all temptation is female. Ah but the uh the source it is. Mother Eve.
22:53All power must reside with men and Kingsbridge with holy men. Like you.
23:05You're even more of a cunt as an adult than you were as a child.
23:09Carlos may be blind but he's not a prude. My son the bishop will ratify no one but him. You hear
23:14me Richard? Yes father whatever you say. Now if you'll excuse me it's been a long day and I must
23:20still recite my evening prayers. Good night brother. Good night William, Philippa. Sleep well Lady
23:25Marjorie. You have much joy to look forward to. On our wedding night.
23:36Loving cup.
23:36To us.
23:49So remember 55 paces down the aisle and three steps up at the altar.
23:57Are you certain you don't want me to guide you tomorrow? My blindness cannot be seen as a
24:02hindrance by the saw. Not if I'm to be prior. So 55 paces to the altar and then three three steps
24:10up. Three. Three steps up. That's right nearly there. Okay. And stop the first one is the wooden one.
24:20One two three. Perfect. Service and up. One two three. Good. Shall we count them on the way back? Right.
24:34One two three four five twenty nine thirty.
25:04So
25:34yes your eminence. I have something urgent to tell you.
25:43I can't this way till morning. I'm in the middle of prayer. I'm afraid it can't.
25:51I'm here to say that I will be the next prior.
25:56Weren't you listening? My father doesn't approve. Good night brother.
26:00Your father doesn't make the decision.
26:08The monks elect and you ratify.
26:17I mean you will support me won't you Bishop? After your father's wedding tomorrow.
27:00Oh thank you.
27:18What did that blind idiot think he was playing at? He's turned our wedding into a
27:22sacrilegious carnival. Calm yourself dear. Can I calm myself? I feel like my head was
27:27cracked not the statues. Yes what is it? Brother Carlos took his fall as a sign from God
27:42father. He's withdrawn his candidacy for prior. Which leaves us with who? Godwin?
27:49I've come to believe father that Godwin may be our best choice. Godwin?
27:57Christ on the cross.
28:07Those in favor of brother Godwin.
28:19I duly declare that brother Godwin has been elected prior.
29:27So you've all had a chance to see Alfred's designs. This is Merton's. Alfred's will cost
29:48295 pounds. Merton's comes in at 307. But Merton's is twice as wide which is what is needed.
29:57I thought only guild members are allowed to speak. Yeah who should listen to their wives? Well
30:01they're ex-wives. Yes I have a question. Both designs have piers whose foundations are set in
30:09the river. How will you build underwater? Simple. Drop rubble into the river until the pile is
30:14visible above water. Build your pier in that. And eventually the river will wash it away.
30:19I'd build a cofferdam. Cofferdam? It's an Italian invention. Two rings of wooden stakes,
30:24one inside the other, driven into the riverbed. And you pour mortar into the gap between the rings
30:29making it watertight. Then remove the water, expose the riverbed and build your mortar stone
30:33foundation. Foreigners tell us how to build. Whoever he listens to will build it cheaper.
30:40Well I'll charge for my workers but not for myself. Instead I'll accept a deed to the
30:45Leper Island. Unless Alfred works for free. You can't beat that.
30:53Alfred? Merton adds my vote. And mine too. Seems clear to me. I vote for Merton.
31:08Congratulations. Thank you. You deserve it. Thank you Edmund. It's about time Alfred had some
31:13competition in this town. We'll have to work out a schedule and distribution of funds but uh...
31:24We can talk about that tomorrow. Evening daughter. Father.
31:28Thank you for supporting me. I'm happy for you.
31:46And are you happy?
31:53What will it take to win you Carys?
31:56I know that you care for me. As I care for you. So what more is there? Tell me. Please.
32:08Please. How do I win you?
32:17Through my heart.
32:21I know you already have me.
32:28Merton!
32:32Merton! There you are!
32:34Come on. We're going to go to the inn to celebrate. Come on.
32:45Well done boy.
32:53My friend's a jewel toast. Firstly to Marjorie who through her beauty can evoke virility in a
32:58man with half a century behind him.
33:02And of course to our unborn child.
33:08Our unborn child.
33:10Not too embarrassing, eh? No. There's a messenger my lord from her majesty the queen.
33:14What does she want? She wants you my lord.
33:20She wants you my lord.
33:24She wants you my lord.
33:28She wants you my lord.
33:34She wants you my lord.
33:36She wants you my lord.
33:41Therefore until further notice all rates of taxation will be doubled.
33:52Sir Roland. This troubles you? No your highness. But I sense you are dismayed by this. Please
34:01enlighten your queen. We have embarked upon an expensive rebuilding of our bridge
34:07and I fear that these new taxes will be trying. Trying?
34:16You think I should care about a bridge when we have a war with France?
34:20I do not defend a bridge built for vanity but in this case the very existence of King's Bridge
34:25depends upon it. And the country's very existence depends on this war.
34:31King's Bridge can wither and die for all I care. I will have my taxes. Absolute more, my queen.
34:40Father. Why does grandmother hate King's Bridge so much?
34:46I can only guess. Take as many men as you see fit. Ride to King's Bridge. Stop the
34:51bridge building immediately. But it's not crown lands, my lord. It belongs to the Priory.
34:58What's my authority? Authority? The queen just ordered me and now I'm ordering you.
35:05Are you questioning my authority or hers? Are you clear? Yes. I'll get on with it.
35:22We need to build two copper dams between shore and this side of the island. One here.
35:40Greetings, brother. What brings you back to King's Bridge?
35:46Who's in charge here? Well, I am.
35:52Orders from the queen. This work must stop. That's enough. Go home. There's no bridge to be built.
36:01Go home. By what right? Ralph, you know this is Priory land. This has no validity. Don't make me
36:06repeat myself, brother. These are the orders of our queen. Well, then I'll appeal. The only court
36:12of appeal is Westminster under our son's jurisdiction. Ralph, you know that this town can't survive
36:18without a bridge. That's enough. I said stop. By order of the queen. Fuck the queen.
36:27What did you say? Ralph, I said fuck the queen. She's French.
36:34Ralph, no. Ralph, no. Why should I obey her? I've got a family to feed.
36:39She's a water wind. Your father would be ashamed. That's enough.
36:43Fucking traitor.
36:58Ralph. What's wrong with you?
37:05You'd have your own brother be called a traitor. Whose side are you on?
37:13Mine. All of you, go home.
37:39Bridge is stopped.
37:44Now there's a man who knows how to take an order.
37:54Sir Rowland has appointed the new Lord of Wigley. He'll hear your case tomorrow.
38:12Very well, Sir Rowland. Sir Rowland.
38:24When summer lash with birds of song. Now is near the windy blast and weather strong.
38:35Oh dear how this night is long.
38:38Thank you.
39:01I'm the new Lord of Wigley. You come before me I'm told to appeal your inheritance.
39:08Which is denied.
39:16Next.
39:23This is mine. It was my father's house.
39:39Bastard.
39:54You can appeal.
39:56No. She's going to listen to me.
40:02She left me.
40:07And I...
40:10No land, no wedding.
40:15She didn't love you.
40:16Yeah well I loved her.
40:21She's gone, Grindr.
40:26I've been a bloody waste.
40:28My home is here now.
42:06It's all right.
42:21You took Wulfric's land away from him. Give it back.
42:34Are you his woman?
42:36Yes.
42:38And you want me to give him his land?
42:40Yes, that's what I want.
42:45You've fucked before.
42:48No, it's a sin.
42:51Thirty acres for a quick fuck, that's a good deal. Take off your dress.
42:56No.
42:58Do it yourself.
43:05Do you have a bible?
43:20Why?
43:22Because I want you to swear. If I do what you say, you will give him his land.
43:28I swear by this holy book, I'll give Wulfric what he wants.
43:35If you do the same for me, I'll strip.
43:58How Richard is a bishop, I do not know. He disgusts me.
44:12Stooping to such desires.
44:14A bishop giving in to earthly desires, oh how you shock me.
44:18Fucking his own father's wife, it's an abomination.
44:22Did I miss here? Of whom are we talking?
44:26Bishop Richard.
44:29And who is he fucking?
44:32Lady Marjorie, Roland's wife. I doubt the child she's expecting is even his.
44:38And Roland has no idea?
44:39My god, mother, he'd kill her if he learned of it.
44:43I imagine he would.
44:45My dear Earl Roland, I have learned some very distressing news.
45:11Wait!
45:13Where's the deed to the land? Where is it?
45:16The land has been forfeited. I've given it to George Perkins.
45:19You swore on the bible you'd give it back.
45:22No, I didn't.
45:24You swore!
45:30You swore!
45:34You swore.
45:42Good evening, my lord.
45:50Marjorie.
45:53Come, let me look at you.
46:01So beautiful and so ripe.
46:06You'll be a handsome child, my lord.
46:09Do you think he will look like me?
46:13I'm sure of it.
46:18And which of my sons do you think you'll favor?
46:22My lord?
46:24Richard, I would guess.
46:27Don't you think?
46:29Since he's the one you've been fucking.
46:35My lord, I would never...
46:38You take me for a fool.
46:41An old fool.
46:45My lord, who told you this?
46:52I've scarcely looked at him.
46:55I love you.
46:58And I loved you, Marjorie.
47:02With all my heart.
47:04With all my heart.
47:06You fucking whore!
47:08Come on, come on!
47:10My lord, I love you!
47:12Get out of my house!
47:14Get out!
47:16Come on!
47:18Get out!
47:34Get out!
