Queen Rose Benjamin:
Jack...

King Silas Benjamin:
Oh, forget Jack.

Queen Rose Benjamin:
No; he's in hiding from you.

King Silas Benjamin:
So he should be.

Queen Rose Benjamin:
He's your son... who once you held in the palm of your hand, whose laughter was God's greatest gift.

King Silas Benjamin:
Not anymore.

Queen Rose Benjamin:
Jack is a surety under this family's legacy. He lives, or the crown dies with you.

King Silas Benjamin:
Lucky I don't die.

Queen Rose Benjamin:
...I built this country with you. I bound it to our family and name. You may have the will, but I maximize your effect. And tomorrow will be your greatest hour - and you need at least one smile by your side that isn't trying to hold back the tears... So Jack will stand beside you; he will not be arrested, and he will not be harmed. You will acknowledge him, and you will do this for me.

King Silas Benjamin:
And if I don't?

Queen Rose Benjamin:
You'll find yourself standing alone.

King Silas Benjamin:
...If he behaves, I won't cut his throat.
