Mary wakes up an looks for every single place for Francis. That's when she realizes that he was unconscious. She approaches and starts to shake him trying to wake him up. After a while he wakes up anxious and then he looks up at Mary's eyes. He saw the concern in her deep brown eyes. He can't resist and give her a small smile even if the situation was dangerous and requires caution.
-Where are we? – Francis asks after realized that they were in some cellar. They were looked up somewhere else.
- England, I'm afraid. – Mary says founding him in the face. – This kiddnaing has Elizabeth's hands.
- And what you think she wants with this? War?
- Maybe or maybe not. She was aware about our alliance... our marriage and about how much I love you. Maybe she's thinking get ride of us before we got coronate.
- Oh... I see. – Francis whisper's taking his hand to his head. It was hurting like hell but he didn't want to concern Mary. But it was too late for that.
- Are you hurt? – Mary asks almost with tears in her eyes. She felt so guilty and was felling everything at the same time: fear, concern, love. – I'm so sorry, I really am! It is because of me that we are in this crappy situation.– Mary admits looking at her hands and with some tears falling from her eyes.
Francis embraces her in a sweet deeply hug trying to comfort her.
-We will survive this, we always survive. – He says in strong tune and pushes her against his chest founding her head. – This is not your fault, my love. I'm here and I will protect you, trust me. No one will keep us apart.– He makes a pause a look at her face with both hands in her face. – I love you – He concludes giving her a deeply kiss on her lips and then he kisses her forehead, keeping her in his arms.
That's when they start to heard footsteps approaching for their cellar. They lift up from the floor quickly and in that moment they can see the guard in the darkness of that cellar.
-The queen requests your presence! – The guard says in an authority and imposing tune and start to guiding them throw the corridors from that dungeon.

Bash wakes up and there he were in the boat. He lifts up looking at every single place.
-Francis! Mary! – He screams realizing that they were the targets. After he realizes that he starts to plan an offensive move. If he arrived to France without Francis, Bash knew that would be consequences and the trigger for him to organize an huge attack. For ages that Henry tries to conquer England and that would give him a great motive. So, Bash realized that he couldn't control or prevent that attack and that would be a huge mistake go back to France without Francis and Mary.
He was so worried about them and can't help thinking in so many ways to save them from Elizabet's hands. He stands up and look at his men. A few died in that attack but they had to be very quick if they want to save them.
-We have to go after them. – Bash says and sense the fear of those men who had survive. They were whispering,
- Hear me now! – Bash says in a scream that inflict respect. – If we go back to France without the dauphin and the future queen, our king will get upset! He can start a war between France and England! Think in your families, think what will happen to them if we don't do something about this! – Bash says trying to inspire and drove is men. He was talking with such confident that no one dare to oppose to his idea. – So let's go to England rescue them! Who is with me? – Bash concludes looking very enthusiastic.
The people follow him like a true leader.
