Nostradamus quotes from Reign

Nostradamus

[To Queen Catherine] I saw your son's future... his union with Mary. She will cost Francis his life... Mary will bring your son's death.

Nostradamus

His reunion with Mary

Nostradamus

[Waking from a nightmare] She's coming.

Nostradamus

All images of Francis' death are tied to your union. You will be blamed for the death of the Queen's firstborn. You will blame yourself, most of all. I see Francis, barely older than he is now, cold to your touch. You are wed but childless. Alone at this court without a friend to comfort you.

Nostradamus

I'm immune to the plague, My Queen, but not fire.

Nostradamus

You think you're untouchable, that your sins will stay buried, but they don't.

Nostradamus

Only with the Queen of Scots' help will you rule France.

Have your visions altered?

Nostradamus

No. Mary will bring your son's death. You cannot relent. You must continue to sacrifice.

Tell me, Nostradamus, what have you seen?

Nostradamus

I've had fleeting images, but as yet, their meaning is unclear. Perhaps if you were more specific about your concerns.

Well, will he love her? Will she love him? How do I control a daughter-in-law who's a queen in her own right?

Nostradamus

Is that what bothers you? Her power? Or the fact that she's young and pretty?

I've just had a vision. I see you, beheaded at my command. Said with gratitude for the secrets we share.

Nostradamus

Be patient. Answers will come.

Nostradamus

They have children, as he is alive.

Queen Catherine

Children? [Catherine becomes emotional]

Queen Catherine

You see them years beyond their union?

Nostradamus

Yes. [Catherine becomes overcome with emotions and puts her hands into prayer thanking God] Use this to save yourself. Tell Henry you've had a change of heart. That you won't stand in the way of their union.

Queen Catherine

This has gone so far beyond me standing in the way of anything. I am convicted of adultery! Of treason! Mary is with Sebastian. And my son Francis...

Nostradamus

...Has returned to court.

Queen Catherine

[Annoyedly] You are brave to come to me with this. Because if I can't convince Mary to wed Francis, if I can't undo your mistakes, I will lose my head. But not before I watch you burned to death. I promise you that.

We'll see whose death is more painful. Yours, or my son's.

Nostradamus

I've seen your death. You suffer too.
