I know you don't want to be touched, that's all right. But you're safe. I don't know how you managed to escape, but you did. You are alive. You will survive this. I know this because I survived. You know that too. They tried to destroy you by taking your pride and your strength, but those things cannot be taken. Not from you. Not ever.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
These next moments of your life will either define you as a victim or a powerful queen, untouched by a failed assassination attempt. They will define who you are perceived to be, your place in history. Do not let them win.
Take my hand. Trust that I can get you through this, because I swear to you that I can.
My loyal subjects. I reassure you, that your King, and your Queen, remain untouched. These murderous traitors who invaded the castle tonight have achieved nothing. Have altered nothing. And will die, for nothing.
What happened tonight was reckless. It was the act of a people who feel that they have nothing to lose. To rob people of hope is a dangerous mistake, and I suspect it may have been my doing... I feel this nation is burning and I am the man who lit the match.
What's Mary doing here?
She's looking for her rapist. And if you don't catch him soon, that's what she'll be doing for the rest of her life. In every room and in every crowd.
We don't care about the Monarchy, we're your friends, we care about you!
You need me!
Nobody needs you!
It is a new France, and I shall be loyal to you, I swear.
Mary, you're not even armed. (Mary pulls out a knife) Good Lord!
When you took my lands away, you said that you'd make it up to me one day. Well, this is that day. I want repayment. Let Castleroy go.
Whatever you do, don't come back.
You will be hanged for what you did to me. You will suffer and die, and I will live. In a hundred years, as queen, I will be remembered, and your name will be forgotten. You'll see that you are erased from history. And God have mercy on your soul.
Kill them, and let them burn with their sins.
I've had some time to think. I believe that we should lead separate lives.
What does that mean?
That we will continue to work together as king and queen, but that I will be your wife in name only.
I can't do that. I won't.
We wouldn't be the first people in history to do so.
If you're talking about my parents, we are nothing like them. I would do anything for you, Mary. I love you and you love me.
Look where that love has brought us.
