The New King: Part Two (2009)

Susanna Thompson: Queen Rose Benjamin

Quotes 

• Queen Rose Benjamin : You never do that again.

  Michelle Benjamin : Jack and William are wrong; I won't pretend otherwise.

  Queen Rose Benjamin : Yes, you will. Until Silas returns - and then you will pretend even more. The fate of this monarchy, this family, no longer lies with your brother. Jack will die the moment Silas returns.

  Michelle Benjamin : And if Silas and David don't return?

  Queen Rose Benjamin : I know your father; he'll come. And you have to stay alive long enough to greet him with open arms. You keep your head down, your mouth shut. You tell no one of this pregnancy, especially David. You'll have nothing to fear - I'll take care of everything.

• [last lines] 

  Queen Rose Benjamin : An issuance of the king: For her acts of treason in support of her brother, Michelle Benjamin is ordered exiled from Gilboa - stripped of any rights as citizen or noble, removed from all our lands, and kept from any company but her own for a period of no less than one year.

  Michelle Benjamin : What are you talking about?

  Queen Rose Benjamin : [whispering]  I told you I would take care of everything.

  [Michelle is removed by two soldiers] 

  King Silas Benjamin : All our plans...

  Queen Rose Benjamin : We'll make new ones... We'll be young again; everything there is to fight for began with you. You're the stone center; you're Silas.

  King Silas Benjamin : Yes...

  Queen Rose Benjamin : And nothing can take the future from this family.

  King Silas Benjamin : Nothing?

  [Rose exits] 

  King Silas Benjamin : ...Least of all David Shepherd.

  [Rev. Samuels' ghost appears behind Silas] 

  Rev. Ephram Samuels : Let him go, Silas.

  King Silas Benjamin : I will find David; I will hunt him down, and when his dead body lays at my feet I'll come for you for your part in this.

  Rev. Ephram Samuels : Killing David will not keep you king.

  King Silas Benjamin : At least God will know I'm angry.

  Rev. Ephram Samuels : He's gone, Silas - where you can not find him. His family is safe, too. Nothing can stop God's plan.

  King Silas Benjamin : I travel that path no more; I'm a sinner now. He wants peace, I want war - God and I are now constant enemies.

  Rev. Ephram Samuels : Then I bring a message from the enemy: Do not search too hard for my servant, for the day you lay a hand on him... will be the day that you die.

  King Silas Benjamin : Oh, is that what He says? Well, take a message back to Him: We are at war.
