(somber classical music)
- [Narrator] After just
15 months as queen,
Catherine is to be
interrogated about her past
by the Archbishop of
Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer.
- You must speak nothing
but the truth, my child.
Be calm.
Take your time.
We are here in God's company.
There is no rush.
Francis Dereham...
You know this man well?
- Knew him, sir.
It was many years ago
and I've not seen nor--
- Please just simply explain
your involvement with him.
- Long ago, before
I met the king,
there was the possibility that
Francis Dereham
and I would marry.
- Indeed, there is talk that
you referred to one another
as husband and wife.
- Not by law, not
in the eyes of God.
The king has been my
true and only husband.
- Did you lie with Dereham?
- Yes, my lord.
I must be truthful.
- Oh, you must.
Have there been others?
Before the king,
apart from Dereham?
Henry Mannox, perhaps?
Please.
Sit back down.
Have you anything to
say about this man?
- The choice to lie
with him was not mine.
I was a child.
- Yet...
Still...
The accusations are
not without weight.
- They are not.
- I see.
- Please my lord, I beg
of you to tell the king
that my heart is
filled with sorrow
and assure him of my repentance.
The fear of death is not
as bad as this, my lord.
