I thank you for your protection last night, but I need to speak with Colin.
Speak to your assailant? Why?
Because he is the love of my dear friend. And if there was any misunderstanding, if I sent the wrong message in my joy at the wedding...
Take care, child. If anyone knew you were even asking this...
Catherine, she needs to know.
Gossip poisons, too. It can poison a young queen's reputation, her heirs' right to the throne, an entire kingdom.
You may have behaved foolishly, but you are not responsible for your countryman's actions.
Colin McPhail is my subject. I am his queen, and I demand to speak with him.
Witnesses have come forward. The boy played a role in an English plot to destroy your engagement and Scotland's alliance with France.
An English plot. You're sure?
You must know if he'd been successful in his assault, you'd be unfit to marry our son; to marry any royal. My dear, this was not an action of passion. It was treason.
But it's all settled now. Colin's been executed.
What?
He was beheaded this morning.
