00:00Lord Guilford Dudley will be your husband.
00:07Guilford Dudley?
00:09Guilford Dudley?
00:11Who is that man?
00:13Lord Dudley's son. He's a pratt.
00:15I've heard of him. The girls at court say he's vile.
00:18He drinks, fights, gambles. He cavorts with women of ill repute.
00:23He's the last man I would ever marry.
00:25Jane, this marriage protects us.
00:30That's Guilford Dudley?
00:33Jane knows that marrying such a pratt is incon-fucking-ceivable.
00:39I will do everything in my power to get out of this marriage.
00:43Jane, you have no power.
00:47I don't want to marry your son.
00:51Nobody cares what you want.
00:58I always thought I'd only marry if I could choose the man myself.
01:03Janey, that's just silly.
01:07Let us take a moment to reassure our viewers that there is no such thing as love at first sight, but lust at first sight.
01:19So do you come here often?
01:27Wow.
01:28Oops.
01:29That's your response? So you can recite the Ark Poet standing on a table in a dirt floor tavern, but you can't muster a simple apology?
01:35I said oops.
01:37Has anybody ever told you that you're an insufferable pedant?
01:40Oh, well, where I come from, pedantry is a virtue.
01:42Where I come from, amiability trumps semantics.
01:44Amiability is for the meek.
01:46Amiability is for the amiable.
01:48You are the rudest man I have ever met.
01:50Well, the knight is young. Mingle.
01:52Oh, I intend to.
01:54If only Jane could think of another way out of her unwanted wedding.
01:59But her thoughts keep drifting back to the tavern and that intriguing yet infuriating young man.
02:08Good night.
02:09Wait.
02:14Who are you?
02:15Who are you?
02:16May I present Jane's husband-to-be, Lord Guildford Dudley.
02:23Good evening.
02:24Come with me.
02:25As if.
02:26Mother about the wedding.
02:27Please don't make me marry him.
02:28I, Guildford, take thee, Jane.
02:32It's the affliction.
02:41She's faking.
02:42The simpler reason is she's faking.
02:45Now, let's have a little look, shall we?
02:47God, my better.
02:52Doctor Butts healed me.
02:56I thought he would.
02:58You're even more charming and ladylike than I remember.
03:01Oh, and your gala had reborn.
03:03A very picture of chivalric manhood.
03:07Lady Jane, do you feel better?
03:11I do.
03:14Was that a withering look?
03:17Oh.
03:18And another one.
03:21Consider me withered.
03:25I had come in here to apologize for my rudeness, but now I see you're pilfering our wedding gifts.
03:29Perhaps I should.
03:31They'd fund my freedom.
03:33You humiliated me.
03:35Do you know what people say about you?
03:37That you sleep all day, carouse all night, spending your time with knaves, fools, harlots, drunkards, braggarts.
03:43Well, you certainly seem to enjoy my company in the tavern.
03:45And besides, at least I have friends.
03:48And yet you still married me, a complete stranger.
03:51I had my reasons.
03:54What were your reasons?
03:56Money.
03:57And to save my sister Catherine from an ancient duke who smells like a forgotten chamber pot.
04:01Do I smell like a forgotten chamber pot?
04:07I have not smelled you.
04:10And I don't intend to.
04:14Jane, I really need to be alone.
04:16Oh, well, we're married now, so not being alone is part of the deal.
04:20Jane, please just leave.
04:22Have you ever been in a situation where you've had to do a certain thing, and then when you got there, you didn't know if you could go through with it?
04:31You're a horse!
04:35Change back!
04:36He can't change, not until sunset.
04:39What?
04:40Don't say what, say pardon.
04:42Guilford can't control his Aethian powers.
04:44Why? Aethians can change back and forth whenever they want, everybody knows that.
04:48Not my boy.
04:49You, Rupert, and Guilford will embark upon your honeymoon today.
04:54Honeymoon?
04:56Why would I go on a honeymoon with a horse?
05:00To evade prying eyes and have some time to adjust and to focus on the realities of your marriage.
05:07No, no, I can't stay married to him.
05:09I am hoping that you can use the knowledge in these books to cure me.
05:17This marriage was never my desire.
05:19Then what is your desire?
05:21Independence.
05:23So a divorce.
05:25You find me my cure, and this marriage is over.
05:34Exi ergo transgressor animalis.
05:38You thought Jane could perform magic.
05:41Well, I'm sorry.
05:44Look at this.
05:48A ransom note.
05:50The pack wants 50 quid for someone called Suzanne.
05:53My maid, my friend.
05:55It's all my fault.
05:57This is extortion. We can't pay this.
06:01They said that we'll slit her throat if we don't.
06:03No, Jane, I mean we literally can't pay it.
06:05My father's in debt up to his balls.
06:08So he lied.
06:10You're supposed to be rich, that was the whole point.
06:12I didn't arrange this marriage.
06:20You're a fucking tit, fuck.
06:22You.
06:23Have fun getting yourself killed.
06:24I will, thank you.
06:27I'm here because you asked me to help you.
06:31So let me.
06:38Susanna.
06:39I thought you were in danger.
06:41I'm such a fool, I was coming here to rescue you.
06:44I am in danger.
06:45No, you just want money.
06:46You tricked me into this marriage.
06:48In order to save my own life.
06:49At the expense of mine.
06:51This is your husband.
06:56I take it all back.
06:58You're the greatest swordsman who ever lived.
07:00Now.
07:09I want a divorce.
07:13Look, Jane.
07:16I don't want to be the kind of man that doesn't keep his word.
07:18This is madness.
07:24Yeah, you're right.
07:26I'll never lie to you again.
07:31King Edward is dead.
07:33No.
07:38His majesty named you heir to the crown.
07:42I wish you could stay.
07:45Vulnerability.
07:48From the indomitable Jane Grey.
07:52Sensitivity from the unconscionable Guilford Dudley.
08:01We can't do this.
08:03I know.
08:05I know you don't want this.
08:08There she goes.
08:10It's a good idea.
08:16Marrying Jane was never about my cure.
08:19It was about the kingdom.
08:20Guilford Dudley is a horse.
08:22Oh, shit.
08:25I've seen it with my own eyes.
08:27I'll arrange a divorce.
08:29A week ago, that was all that Jane wanted.
08:31But now...
08:32No, you shall not.
08:34What if...
08:36I didn't want a divorce?
08:39Jane.
08:41You cannot stay married.
08:45Did you know your father asked me to name you King?
08:49It's all he's ever wanted.
08:53Is that why you married me?
08:57No.
08:59Do you love him?
09:00You do.
09:02All I want is my cure.
09:03All I want is my cure.
09:07I just want my life to be mine again.
09:10But now, for the first time in my life, I have hope.
09:16You've given me hope, Jane.
09:18Jane knows there is no cure for Aethianism.
09:24I tried to tell you last night, and I didn't, and...
09:27Yes?
09:31There is no cure.
09:34No.
09:36You cannot change what you are, and you shouldn't have to.
09:39Not for your father.
09:41Not for me.
09:42Not for anyone.
09:43Jane, please, stop.
09:44It is this kingdom that needs to change, not you.
09:47I disbanded the guards.
09:48I could end division laws.
09:49I could heal England.
09:51Fuck England! Heal me!
09:54Why are you following me?
09:55I just came to tell you there is an Aethian cure, and I know where to get it.
09:58Where's Guildford?
09:59Guildford's gone.
10:01Gone?
10:03He left to find a cure.
10:05I trusted you.
10:13Guildford lost his place in the world overnight.
10:16Because of you.
10:18You made him feel defective.
10:20Dad told me Guildford left you.
10:24I mean, the palace.
10:26Guildford will return normal, and you will be glad he did it.
10:34What did you do to Guildford?
10:36What did you do?
10:37I have it on good authority that your husband is never coming back.
10:40Really?
10:42Whose authority is that?
10:44By your mother, of course.
10:46Help me!
10:47Scream all you like.
10:48Somebody!
10:49No one will hear you.
10:50Help!
10:52The thing about Dudley is this.
10:54Our hearts are in the right place.
10:55We just do really dumb stuff sometimes.
10:59Your Majesty.
11:00What are you doing?
11:01Your Majesty.
11:02What are you doing?
11:03Guildford's in danger.
11:04What?
11:05I need to find him.
11:07It's all my fault.
11:08Please tell me.
11:10You should thank me.
11:11He's gone.
11:13And we're all safer for it.
11:15The Atheist killed his mother right in front of him.
11:19He can't change that.
11:21But he can find a cure.
11:28I will save Jane.
11:29Jane.
11:30Will you, Guildford?
11:31Jane.
11:32Jane, wake up.
11:33Guildford.
11:35You're here.
11:37You're alive.
11:39I will not leave Jane to die.
11:41There is nothing we can do.
11:44Jane will be beheaded for treason.
11:47And if any of Mary's men see any of us, we'll join her.
11:52I thought you were dead.
11:53I nearly was.
11:55It's all my mother's fault.
11:56Isn't everything?
11:58Jane.
11:59We need to leave now.
12:00Okay?
12:01I counted 12 guards outside, but if we take the path through the orchard...
12:03No, I can't leave.
12:05She'll kill my family.
12:09I'm staying here.
12:11Then I won't leave you.
12:13I'm not giving you a choice.
12:15If you stay, they'll find out what you are and Mary will kill you.
12:17I can't have it.
12:21I was with my parents returning from court and we were attacked by a band of Atheists.
12:27I'd never seen an Atheist before and I was scared and I changed for the first time.
12:32I can't remember what happened.
12:34I was in a blackout, but when I came round, my father told me that the rocks had killed me.
12:39I could never control my change.
12:42And I know it's not rational, but...
12:45It started to feel like some kind of curse.
12:49A punishment worthy of the Greeks.
12:51You don't deserve that.
12:53I'm relieved.
12:57Because I'm also a coward.
12:59Look at me.
13:01Look.
13:04Would a coward risk certain death to rescue me?
13:07You wish to reclaim the throne? Do it properly. With power behind you.
13:10Rally an army.
13:11I've just received some information that will change everything.
13:14Lady Jane Grey married an Athean knowingly.
13:17Bring him in.
13:20No! There is only one punishment.
13:23Death.
13:24I'm sorry.
13:28I just need to know about my husband.
13:30The beast?
13:31Yes, Guilford Dudley's Athean.
13:36Please, will you tell me anything?
13:41It's not here.
13:43Mary took the palace and arrested Jane.
13:46She will lose her head if we don't stop it.
13:48Where is Jane now?
13:50The Tower of London.
13:52I must retake the throne. It's the only way to save her.
13:57You're upset for the man who's lied to you.
14:02Who's the very reason that you're here.
14:04You're the reason I'm here.
14:05Oh, grow up!
14:06Our perfectly imperfect heroine has just one regret.
14:11She didn't ever tell Guilford that what she feels for him is indeed true love.
14:22I have an idea.
14:28No!
14:33Leave me.
14:37Never.
14:39I'll never leave you.
14:46I love you.
14:51I love you too.
14:54I must go back.
14:58No.
15:00You don't have to come with me.
15:04Of course I'm coming with you.
15:07Well, I was rather hoping you would say that.
15:27I love you.
