1:00:00
My suitors usually come in oil.
1:00:03
And I've kept them,
because I love a good painting.

1:00:07
Why did you go out of your way
to make me ridiculous?

1:00:11
All that idiotic talk of love and beauty.
1:00:14
It made my heart beat.
1:00:15
It made me dream like a fool
and talk like one.

1:00:18
I thought you'd understand, when you
saw me again, what had happened.

1:00:21
That it had been so enchanting
to be a woman.

1:00:25
Not a queen,
just a woman in a man's arms.

1:00:29
Yes, if you'd left my heart alone.
1:00:31
But I fell in love with you.
1:00:33
I love you, Antonio.
1:00:35
Look, the coin you gave me
for helping you.

1:00:40
I've slept with it in my hand each night.
1:00:45
Forgive me for being a queen.
1:00:48
What do you want of me?
1:00:51
What do I want?
1:00:53
What?
1:00:57
I want back that room in the inn...
1:00:59
the snow that fell...
1:01:01
the warm fire and the sweet hours...
1:01:04
beloved one.
1:01:13
Christina.
1:01:21
Just as you say, My Lord.
1:01:23
Go out into the streets.
1:01:25
Talk to your fellow citizens.
1:01:27
Explain it to them.
1:01:28
We will, Your Lordship.
1:01:30
This is for the good of Sweden.
1:01:32
Yes, My Lord.
1:01:33
You understand, then, our purpose?
1:01:35
And our motive?
1:01:37
Yes, Your Lordship.
1:01:38
We are happy to be of service to Sweden.
1:01:41
I tell you, Sweden is facing the greatest
danger in her history.

1:01:44
Greater than war.
1:01:46
And it's a danger that hides
in the highest councils of the nation...

1:01:49
in the palace itself.
1:01:50
In the very chamber of the Queen.
1:01:52
Nay, I do not charge
the queen with disloyalty.

1:01:55
But she is under a spell.
1:01:56
The spell of Spanish witchcraft.
1:01:58
The Spaniard is here
with a proposal from Philip of Spain.
