This way!
Through the chapel.

Quick!Through the passage.

Quick! Quick! Hurry!

Oh, thank you, sir!

Come on, come on!

Your Grace, we're under attack!

Save your breath, it's your last.

- Jean, wish I weren't so frightened!
- Courage, my dear. I'll do what I can.

But we have been betrayed.
Von Nutter is already in the castle.

Oh, merciful heaven, then all is lost,
nothing can save us from his cruelty.

Where is Isabella?

Oh, Jean! Jean!

Go back from where you came from, von Nutter!
You'll get nothing from me by force.

I fear you are mistaken, de Frissac.

I propose to make you sign an act of cession
granting your entire dukedom to me.

You're out of your mind. The King of France
will make you pay dearly for this outrage.

My dear de Frissac, you're very ingenuous,
this transaction is entirely legal

and I feel sure your exquisite sense of
honour will oblige you to sign.

No! Never! I refuse to, and there's
no way you can force me!

Take care, de Frissac,
lest these noble sentiments bring you

to sacrifice all you hold most dear
on the altar of your vanity.

What do you know of noble sentiments?

You who have terrorised all Alsatia with
your savage crimes.

You're no more than a vulgar murderer,
greedy for power.

I should cut off your nose and ear
like a common thief!

You're hardly in a position to carry
out such a threat... but I am.

And I fear that your unreasonable attitude

forces me to eliminate all the legitimate heirs
to your dukedom... starting with yourself!

Jean-Jacques! Oh, my darling!

Come on, men, you heard the orders,
get to work!

Yes, sir, right away!

Let me look at you.

Villain! Common murderer!

You're beautiful!

I'd gladly keep you as a plaything,
but I fear you must join your husband.

Isabella! Isabella! There, don't be
frightened, it's me, Melicour.

Don't you know me?
Come, my child.

At target practice, Isabella,
I must admit you beat me.

Isabella. Your eyes are like two
pools of pure limpid water

Sometimes I wish I could jump in.

No!

I said "jump", you didn't have to push!

I meant no harm.

Ah, Diego, Diego, that was very
foolish of you.

But I've been in love with Isabella so
long I couldn't stop myself today.

Possibly so.

But you don't know the memories
Isabella has of her childhood

Memories so dread,
they would never go away.

And by kissing her,
you'll revive the tragedy.

Does she hate me then?

Why no, nothing of the sort.

In her heart you hold a warm place.

Ah, and I suppose slaps are
a sign of her affection.

That makes six.
Go and join your brothers, bye bye.

Here!

Come along my furry friend.

Here's the last one, Mendoza.

What are you doing with that rabbit?

I was just taking him out for a walk, sir,
that's all. I'll put him right back now.

Don't worry, sir, I can do it
alone and lock him up...

We'll lock you up tight.
That'll teach you to steal rabbits!

Yes, but he needs the fresh air and
exercise, can't you see how pale he is?

I already told you, excellency.
I had a date to meet this girl

but she preferred to go out with some
other man. I was in a terrible state

so I thought of Monsieur Bouchet.
His rabbits are renowned for their affection

and I decided to bestow my unrequited
love on those dear creatures.

Those little creatures, their sweet little eyes
obviously they were seeking for someone to love.

So I took two or three home with me.

You took forty!
Two or three, my eye!

I don't even know how to read or write.
Naturally I'm no good at arithmetic.

I'm just a poor innocent,
a simple honest fellow.

A simple honest thief, that's what you are,
and you don't feel me one minute.

For more than a year you've been stealing
my lambs and rabbits.

This time, thanks to Providence,
we've caught you red handed.

Silence, I can't hear above your shouting!
I've finished examining you.

You have anything to add to your stories?

With your permission, a man must feed his family.
His children must not die of starvation.

- You agree, then?
- Oh, yes, yes, of course, hunger especially!

Is that all?

The important thing is we've returned all
the rabbits to their owner.

Well obviously he gave them all back,
your excellency.

The little fellows are all back home
now, every last one.

What do you call that thing you're holding?

Oh, this only looks like one.
Look, watch this...

Now you see it...
One, two, three...

Et voila!
The little fellow completely vanished.

I'm not interested in this foolish joking.

All you men are guilty of robbery.

Look, excellency, the Marshall's carriage.

Here? We expected him tomorrow morning!

I presume that you are Signor Boudoir,
the prefect of this district.

At your service, sir.

Whoa! Whoa!

Allow me, excellency.

Thank you.

My dear Boudoir!

Most gracious of you to remember me.

And how could I ever forget the man who at the
seige of Bolechaix gave me his entire water ration?

Your excellency has arrived
at an interesting moment.

I'm about to sentence this gypsy rabble
on a charge of stealing.

But perhaps my lord would like to
give the sentence, eh?

No, my dear Boudoir. In matters of law I must
admit you are undoubtedly my equal.

My superior,even.

Your excellency is too kind and does more honour
to my humble person than I deserve

Not at all, not at all! Now, please,
proceed with your duty.

I'll be but a moment, your excellency.

You gypsies have all been found guilty of theft,
therefore I pronounce my sentence.

Twenty strokes of the whip for everybody.
The session is now over.

Of course you have to listen to them.

They've paid for this justice, lining your
pockets with gold and silver

and that's all you think about
when you pass judgment.

Well, here, this is what I think
of your justice!

Now Isabella, please, that's enough!

Excuse her, kind sir, she's a very infant.
She doesn't understand what she's saying.

Then it's high time she did understand.

She'll find that the whip is a good way
to learn better manners.

You guards! Tie her up.

Just a moment, Boudoir.

Remarkable. Have you ever seen this dog?
Do you know it?

No. Not as far as I know.

Strange! It's never had any tendency to be
effusive, especially with the lower classes.

It belonged to the Duke Jean-Jacques de Frissac.

It was found at the bodies when that
noble family died.

Massacred on the orders of Baron von Nutter.

Tell me, your name, child.

Can it possibly be, Isabella?

Yes.

May I please have a word, excellency?

Speak, I pray you.

But not here.

Boudoir, please do me the kindness
to suspend the whippings for a minute.

After you, excellency.

But as vandals and soldiers sated their lust.
I fled from the castle taking the infant, Isabella.

Back to the devil as my tribe is known.

So far I've always been careful that
Isabella shouldn't find out anything.

But I was mistaken.

I really thought I'd protect
her from her parents' fate.

I see. Isabella still thinks
she's your daughter.

Quite so, your excellency.

You've taken on a grave
responsibility, I must say.

Yes I know that.

My view is that the danger is graver with
that wild animal they call von Nutter.

If he's informed that there yet lives
a legitimate heir to Chateau Celine

then all hell will break loose as
he attempts to do away with her.

All I have done is preserve this child
from danger because I believe she's

deserved the right to defend her estate
and avenge her poor parents' death.

Justice no one has bothered to face,
especially the French.

If we have seemed indifferent, you have to
consider the assassination of His Majesty.

And that the present King is
a twelve year old boy.

A minor quite helpless for all power is
in the hands of the Queen Mother,

who gives her support to people I dare
not name now, as you may recall.

But all the same, I think Isabella de Frissac
has the right to occupy her legitimate estate.

Farewell, Father Melicour.

I won't ever forget you.

Damn those rabbits! If it hadn't been for
them you wouldn't be leaving now.

Dear Diego, you know I'll always be loyal to
the life I led with here and the others.

Then why do you want to leave?

Enough of that.

They're waiting for you, Isabella.
Go now, be a good girl.

Of course, Father Melicour, and
thank you for everything.

I'll write you a letter as soon as I learn how.
Don't you worry!

Diego!

I'll come back as soon as I can.

I'll always think of here as home.
Goodbye now.

Bye, bye, arrivederci, goodbye!

I was perfectly happy living in
Paris, actually.

The decision to go travelling
wasn't fully left to me.

This isn't the right moment to discuss it.

Aloysius, will you excuse us?

Of course, my dear.

Tell me all, dear.

Garrick, I have made friends with the Queen.

What's that got to do with it?

She's envious, jealous of me.

She hates the Queen knowing other women.

And for over a year I was the Queen's
most honoured and intimate companion.

Oh darling, how nasty!

I think that woman must be truly in count
of one of the most unpleasant at court.

However, you'll have your revenge.
Wait a while and see.

I'm quite sure I will. Only now, I
no longer have a place to live,

and I have to count on friends
for charity.

Oh, if that's what you've been worrying
about you're perfectly welcome to come

back here as my companion as you were in the past.
You know how I treasure your conversation.

Ah, I've been pardoned then!

How could you doubt it, my dear?
Perhaps you'll stay forever this time.

I've certainly had my fill of the Louvre.
Court intrigue is so boring.

Then you really have changed!
However, you'll amuse yourself here.

Someone new?

Gilbert de Villancourt and my cousin Isabella.

They're always out on the estate, riding and
shooting like a couple of boys, my dear.

If they spend their holiday doing nothing more
adventurous than that I don't think I approve.

It was the horse's fault. He broke rhythm at the
last moment otherwise you never would have passed us.

Then I'll have to trade horses
and run that course again.

Good, when?

Tomorrow, alright?

She's very beautiful, I'm
surprised you never said anything.

Where have you had her hidden up 'til now?

I have kept her hidden because I didn't have the
nerve to present her in polite society.

You'd never imagine what an uncouth little waif she
was when I first asked to look after her education.

Ah, that explains it, and no doubt that young man with
her is supposed to teach Isabella the art of l'amour.

No, no, my dear, nothing of the kind,
you must believe me.

Gilbert was engaged officially at the request
of the Marshall to look after her.

To look after her virginity too, eh?

Ah, you've improved a lot.
I'd better keep on the alert, eh?

You're going to win, sooner or later.

Of course, Gilbert, how about right now?

You're marvellous, Gil. You really
deserve to be known as goo bigbey.

How about you?
The gypsy swordswoman.

Or, if you like, the Devil's Duchess.

I hope you'll excuse me...
but I meant it!

I've been waiting for the opportunity
to beg you to become my wife.

At Chateau Celine?

It belongs to Baron von Nutter.

Chateau Celine will always belong
to the de Frissacs!

But now it belongs to von Nutter.

Forget about the Chateau, Isabella.

I'm not forgetting about it.

Listen to me, Gilbert.

My future is in the hands of fate until
I can settle down again at Chateau Celine

as proprietor of my own property.

Isabella, I swear that my heart and my
sword belong to you.

But I've been given my orders
as an officer

to see that you don't go anywhere
near Chateau Celine.

Ah, so those were the orders
they gave to you.

I took my oath of obedience
before we met.

But I explained to you about my cause.
You can't ask me just to forget everything.

How can you carry out an order that's
so perfect in it's injustice?

France is in grave danger right now.

We must do all we can to keep the
alliance with the German confederation.

Do I make myself clear?

You see it's a matter of State?

Yes, yes, I forget how many times
I've heard that said.

I hoped this was different...
That you were on my side at least!

Isabella, you must realise, that even
though you are entitled to revenge

that's not more important than
the interests of the Crown.

Oh, blast the Crown!

What are you saying?

I said blast the Crown.

You know my whole family was related to
the Crown, but France just let them

be murdered into nothing, and now they try
to suggest that for reasons of state

I should make believe it never happened.

A murder can always be punished,
without applying the law of the jungle.

Yes, if it's a servant...
and not a de Frissac!

I hope I'm not disturbing you.

No, what do you want?

Something's bothering you,
I can see by your look, my dear.

And besides at dinner, you never
even deigned to speak to anyone.

I think you need some company, Isabella.

Thank you, but don't bother
yourself for me.

My dear, it's no bother,
and I have an idea.

You know what, I think you
want a warm bath, right?

You'll find it so relaxing.

While I was waiting for you I took the liberty
of having the servants prepare everything

and I've perfumed the water
with oriental pine.

Come, my dear, remove this robe.
We'll bathe together.

I've never bathed..
with someone... before.

Don't be embarrassed, my dear,
everyone does it at court.

Let's look at you now. Ah, such beauty will
surely satisfy the most demanding lover.

Doesn't it feel marvellous?

I have one every night.

Was it my cousin who suggested
this to you?

No, my dear, the idea was all mine.

Although we've both been worried that
you spend nearly every day

riding around with that lovely young man.

But... what are you trying to do?

Trust me, my dear,
such a beautiful body.

Let me go!
Help!

You can't escape now,
Isabella de Frissac!

She attempted to choke me to death.

I'm afraid I had no
choice but to fight.

I just don't understand it.

I can only imagine that she was
acting on behalf of someone else,

and all the time I thought this
house was a safe refuge.

Then she only came back here to
get an opportunity to murder you.

Of course, obviously! And they'll
send another killer you can be sure.

Oh, don't you'll have me frightened,
I can't bear to think of it.

Fabienne de Rivier, born Kruger.

Her father was Alsatian, I believe.

But, what are you implying?

I'm afraid it's clear.
She was loyal to the Alsatians.

Von Nutter, then.

Now it's clear. It was him!
And if you expect to remain

my friend, then the least you can do
is help me get back to my Chateau.

It would be safer for you to hide
in one of the convents near here.

Thanks, Marguerite, but I just don't
believe that hiding in a convent

is any way to solve the
problem of the baron.

Gilbert, I'm counting on you
to help me get my revenge.

Isabella, don't you see this
cause is hopeless?

You tell her, Villancourt.

It would be a dreadful tragedy
if a private matter were to

cause a war with the German federation.

Listen, Gilbert, if I want to
escape, nothing can prevent it.

Not even if I'm watched twenty four
hours of the day.

And I'll get my revenge, alone.

Lower the drawbridge! Guards!

These are the key positions in
the Swedish line of defence.

We'll attack them simultaneously
at sundown.

To begin with, We'll create a diversion
using our field artillery.

Then we'll follow through with light
infantry and incendiary arrows.

Excellent, sire, but wouldn't
daybreak be better than sunset?

That's usually an inpropitious
moment to attack.

I have yet to lose one action of my
three campaigns against the Swedes.

I think you'll just have to
trust my judgment, Mayer.

- Excuse the interruption, sire.
- What is it, Gunther?

Your agent failed at
Chateau Fontaine.

Now, watch this carefully,
and I'll show you.

En garde!

Oopla! You're out of practice.

Did you all see how easy that was?

- When you're fighting with a rapier
- Kurt!

You carry on.

All right, you two next.

You look upset.
Something wrong, brother?

Fabienne Kruger failed. That
cursed Isabella is still living.

Are you getting bothered over
things so unimportant

when you have all your
other responsibilities?

I know I shouldn't, but the idea that
she is still alive is anathema to me.

She's the only one left who can
try and take back this land.

Don't worry, I can deal with her.

Yes, but... take care. I've had enough
trouble because of those de Frissacs!

Don't worry. From this moment, brother,
you'll hear nothing more about her.

Hey Hans, come here.

Dear Isabella.
By tomorrow night, she dies.

Agreed?

Quick! Saddle Belphegor!

But... but Duchess...

The Princess forbade me to
saddle any of the horses for you.

Don't argue! I'm in a hurry.

Of course, of course, ma'am,
right away.

Elvira!

I worry about Isabella.
She's so impulsive.

Ah!

Has he gone mad?

Princess, Princess Marguerita!
The Duchess Isabella has fled.

Good grief, child!
What have you done?

It was Isabella.
She cut off all my hair.

Now we've got you.
The game's up!

Hold her, hold her!

I'll fix you, my beauty!

I guess you're used to going
with fine gentlemen.

I'm just a simple soldier.

But I'll do the best I can.

And now it is my turn,
my dear duchess!

That's right, it's your turn!

Let's see how brave you are,
when no one's holding me.

Mercy!... Mercy!

Now that our positions are reversed,
you scoundrel, you ask me for mercy.

All right. Talk!

Who sent you?
Tell me all about it.

I was sent to kill you, on the
orders of Baron Nutter.

Ah! My suspicions were right!

The reason you're still living,
is because I made the error

of lusting for your beauty.

You cowardly villain! You'll
soil the honour of a de Frissac!

And you'll die for it.

Gilbert!

If I'd only been a little earlier I
might have saved you from this outrage.

Don't try to speak, Gilbert,
you'll only tire yourself,

you did everything you could, you
risked yourself to save my life.

Let's look at this.

But you live only...
for hate and murder.

No, there's room in my life for love,
Gilbert, but if...

If you still want it after today.

Of course I do!

Do you think you can manage
to ride like this?

Yes.

I know a place where they can
cure all kinds of wounds.

Good! Then I can help you
when I get well.

Don't worry about that now.

Just hold on to me.

I assure you, my dear, among the German
nobility, the greatest art is the art of love.

Your younger brother is
altogether too artistic.

Both for his age...
and for your purse.

The next time we go hunting we
can round up bucks! Wolf!

Boyar! Here!

Gentlemen! With the every continuing fortune
of our house, I'm proud to announce

that Louisville is about to
fall into our power.

Long life and good health to the
best general in all Alsatia!

Here's to the Baron's brother.

Kurt!

At your service, master.

- How gorgeous!
- Ask Garrick to lend him to you.

If you want to earn the
gold in this sack,

you'll have to remain immobile,

while a naked woman is trying
to stimulate you.

If you don't, you'll be whippped
'til the blood runs.

Nadia?

Susanne, show Nadia how to do it.
We'll get the whip out for you here.

I think you should bet on the black!

All right!

Twenty ducats on the black.

Done!

And if I may, sire, I predict
a victory of Susanne.

He doesn't seem excited in the least.

Perhaps you could do better.

What do you want, Mayer?

We found the men in the
forest of Krugenfurt.

They're being brought into
the courtyard now.

That gypsy, Duchess Isabella,
has the luck of the Devil!

It's time I put a stop to her, even
if I have to handle the matter alone.

Diego!

Esmeralda, you know I'm in love with you
and I want to marry you and...

You look so sweet!

Esmeralda! You're marvellous even covered
in flour, won't you make my life happy?

Tell me there's some glimmer of hope.

The girl you're in love
with is Isabella.

No, Isabella is gone, I don't really
remember a thing about her.

I swear it, you're the girl I want.

Diego! Isabella's back!

Isabella! Isabella!

We never expected to have
you back so quickly.

But what's happened here?

Viscount Villancourt is gravely wounded.
I owe him my life.

I need your help to heal his injuries.

Don't you worry, child, we have secret
medicines that would revive the dead.

- Come on Marco.
- What is it?

- Take the Viscount to the cave.
- Yes, Melicour.

Now tell me, dear,
why have you returned?

Melicour, the moment has arrived
when we must start to attack.

Who, the Baron?

Yes! Four of his retainers tried
to murder me in the woods.

That's typical of von Nutter!

Isabella!

Isabella. If I've been dreaming, dear,
you've got to wake me up

or give me one of your slaps
on the face, huh?

Diego! What have you been doing?
Just look at you!

Oh, it's nothing really, I was just over
there helping them bake.

This is no time for joking, Diego.
Isabella needs our help.

Just give me the word, I'll even cut
my own throat to help you.

You don't have to do that, Diego.

Melicour, when Gilbert is feeling
strong enough, please take him back

to the Chateau Fontaine.
All right?

Yes, whatever you say.

Oh, and later on, we've got to go over this
trick I've planned for reaching the Baron.

What's worrying you, Eric?

You've never been this cold before.

We used to spend every night together.

But for months I've had to
sleep by myself alone.

Yet my charms were not always
insufficient for you.

I'm sorry, Nadia, but I can't
get my mind off that Isabella.

I don't mean, romantically!

I've now made two unsuccessful attempts
to put her out of my way, permanently.

I'm beginning to think...
she's the Devil dressed as a girl,

to escape so easily.

In all probability, her woman's
wiles helped quite a lot.

No, naturally you have to
take her side.

But Hans would never have let a woman
prevent his obeying an order.

She must have the luck of a demon.

She wouldn't fool you, dear.

When you give an order, it's a
pleasure to be obedient.

Suppose that it's pain
instead of pleasure?

Try me, Eric!
I'm not afraid of pain.

Hey men! The girl's are here!

Hurry up! Come on!
The women are coming!

Silence! Stand back!
Out of the way! Out of the way!

If you disturb the Baron you
can forget about the girls.

May I have your attention
noble warriors?

I'm proud to inform you that I have here
a remarkable collection of beauties.

A choice array of feminine charms!

Renee fer des Jours,
the Syren of Provence!

She shines like the sun in it's glory
and drives men mad with desire.

Only 5 scudos, only 5 scudos, for
he who will pluck this flower and

savour it's fragrance.

I'll take her away, for sure!

Enough of that shouting! Get back
you dogs! Out of the way!

And now let me introduce Angelica,
the beauty of beauties!

The swan of swans, the star so effulgent
no other dare to shine in her presence.

This could be yours for 4 scudos,
4 scudos, for only 4 scudos.

Wait a minute! Stand back!

Angelica is patriotic that's why she's
falling at such a modest price.

I'll take her!

Good choice, my man!
All contributions gratefully received.

That's the way I like to do business.

Cash and carry and no hard
feelings with either side.

Genevieve, the gypsy queen! The
most beautiful flower in my garden.

For such a creature I can accept
no less than 30 scudos.

And at 30 scudos she's a dead give away!

Who would like to offer 30 scudos?
30 scudos!

Master Rudolph!

This one's for me!

- Master Rudolph!
- Sire?

I'll give you 100 scudos!

Your excellency does too much
honour to one as humble as I.

My little Genevieve is yours!

So, you say you're a gypsy?

Yes, sir.

You're very well spoken.

I travel a lot, and speak
with all kinds of men.

Yes, I suppose so.

Gypsy, you surprise me.

I must admit I have never seen softer,
whiter skin on any woman.

It's hard to believe that you live
in the fresh air and sunshine.

I've always taken care of my complexion
since I was a little girl.

I bathe every day.

And I use a special oil made according
to a recipe invented by my grandmother.

Prepare the way I explained to you.

Of course, with pleasure.

Don't worry.

You'll experience a new sensation.

I can promise you you're in luck.

The Baron likes his women to be relaxed
and at ease when they're with him.

He's a master of the art of love.

A man of exquisite refinement.

With a profound knowledge of the sources
of pleasure and the thrill of vice.

There has never yet been a woman who
has failed to respond to his ardour.

What is that?

A perfumed aphrodisiac oil.

You'll feel that your body
is getting warmer...

as it blends with the humours
beneath your skin.

You see, how greatly it improves
the joys of making love.

No other experience compares
to this one.

You'll find perfect ecstasy.

What are you doing?

I feel that oil makes me giddy!

My head!
I'm feeling dizzy already!

That'll do! Enough!

A woman who is loved by the Baron
von Nutter will have the experience,

of feeling of passion that
is beyond measure

Enough! Why do you go on?

I've never been so excited before.

If you continue I fear that I
may lose all self-control.

Come in!

Come along.

Over here!

Let's have a look at you.

Now... Dance!

Without any music, seigneur?

You have it in your veins,
if you are what you say.

You're magnificent, Genevieve.

You're a creature born to be
loved, and to make men happy

Don't forget.

I've paid money for your company.

In the name of the de Frissacs!

Death is too good for you, Baron.
That wouldn't satisfy me.

Now you're disfigured for
the rest of your days!

Guards!... Guards!

- Guards, help!
- No way of escape!

Kurt!
Look out!

Help!

It's Isabella de Frissac!

Are you going to kill me too?

How do you expect to get away?

You're going to help me
get out of the chateau.

Why should I do that?

I know the hiding place of
the de Frissac treasure.

Don't you think it's worth it?

The treasure?
What do you know about it?

That treasure is mine, and when I get
out of here, I'll lead you to it.

Well, make up your mind!

If you choose to help me to get out of here
I'll give you a share of my treasure,

and if not, well take a
look at your brother.

- No, Mayer, don't!
- Why not?

We'll allow my brother to select
the punishment for her.

All right! Come on!

How is he, doctor?

Well, his face is very badly injured,
but he'll certainly survive

there's no doubt about that.

It'll drive him out of his mind,
I know how he is.

Thank you, doctor.

Kurt!

Here I am.

Get that accursed girl
beheaded, immediately!

I think we should wait, brother.
She may yet prove a useful hostage.

Carry out the orders I give you, Kurt,
and don't argue!

I'm sorry, brother, you've always given the
orders and I've always carried them out

but now our family's in serious danger.

Silence!

All you've done with your violence and
cruelty is alienated our friends

and if anyone tries to regain Lorraine don't
think they'll lift a finger to help your cause.

Bear in mind that I alone have made the name
Baron von Nutter respected and feared

in every European capital.

And as for you, go on amusing
yourself with your girls

and keep out of my sight,
or I'll make you regret it!

I've put up with your threats for
too long now this can't go on.

Not when I have a right to
my own opinion.

When Isabella de Frissac puts her name
on the document giving us title

to all her land then I'll kill her!

Eric!... Eric!

Mayer!

Gunther!

Doesn't hurt, eh?
I'll put more into it!

Don't worry,
you'll soon start screaming!

Here, leave it to me.

I know where to lay the whip
for the best effect.

Gunther, stop it!

Who ordered you to do this?

This morning she tried to flee and almost
killed a gaoler and several guards.

It's the minimum punishment!

Even if it's what she deserves you
have to wait for orders, understand?

Sire, sire, I'm Diego,
Isabella's friend.

At last, I've been looking for you.

Where is Isabella?

At the chateau. I've been worried.

Explain yourself, what's she doing?

Last night at the time we planned she threw
her robe out of one of those upper windows,

but she didn't leave.

How do you feel?

I feel a bit weak.

This family treasure of the de
Frissac, tell me more about it.

It includes nearly everything our
ancestors accumulated in 3 centuries,

an enormous sum.

I see, and is it hidden within the
chateau or some place close to here?

In my grandfather's tomb.

But you mustn't think that without me
you'll ever succeed in locating it.

I'm the only living person
who knows the secret.

I hope for your sake you're
not making this up.

No, I have no reason to invent it.

I want to get back home but,
I realise what it will cost.

If you help me to escape this
prison during the night,

one half of my fortune is yours.

You mean I should trust the
word of a gypsy wench?

The word of a de Frissac!

This idea was madness!
You should have stopped her!

That would have been extremely
difficult to do so.

You yourself know how adamant she is.

I suppose so, but somehow we must
find a way to rescue her.

That means we'll have to break in to
the chateau and it's... impregnable.

Melicour said he saved Isabella
through a secret passageway leading

to the old cemetery but I
don't know where it is.

At least we can look.
Come on!

Any more of that shouting
and you'll get the lash!

Where's she going?

She's coming with me!

- Mayer!
- Sire?

Redouble the watches and make sure the guards stay
awake someone might try to rescue the prisoner.

Go on now, hurry!

Psst, Isabella!

All clear! The men are concentrating on
the ramparts so no one will stop us now.

To get in the cemetery we can use the
secret staircase Melicour told me about.

This way, through here!

The cemetery is there right
beside the chateau.

Just where is this treasure? Tell me
now or you won't leave here alive.

You'll have to let me show you
the place it's hidden.

That was our agreement, or
have you already forgotten?

No, my dear duchess, nor have I forgotten that this
all could be just a figment of your imagination.

You have five minutes to find it!
I expect results by then! Go on!

Stop! On the other side of that gate is your
freedom from which I risk the wrath of my brother.

Do you think that I'm too stupid to see
that one shout would bring the whole

garrison after me and without a horse or
any help I'd be recaptured immediately?

All right, that's far enough!
Tell me where the treasure's hidden!

It's no use your trying to frighten me,

I made that very clear to your brother and I'll
do the same to you if you go on bullying me!

Well, we'll see!

One sound and you're dead!

- Stop it, Diego!
- Gilbert!

He's worth more alive.

Come on!

With a von Nutter as hostage we have more than
a good chance of reaching French territory.

Gilbert! Gilbert, it's been simply
frightful! I can't believe I'm free!

Do you find it comfortable,
your excellency?

Prepare me another one,
but make it much softer.

Yes, excellency,
you shall have it tomorrow.

What are you looking at?
Get out!

Excellency!

We've searched the entire dukedom
without finding a trace of them.

They seem to have vanished
into thin air!

I frighten, don't I?

I'm sorry, you took me by surprise.

No, old friend...
Don't suffer on account of me.

Excellency!

Wherever they've hidden, I shall
find them eventually.

I'll teach them to betray me!

They'll beg me for the
release of death!

We'll begin by questioning that rogue
who brings the girls for the soldiers.

No! No! No! Don't!

Now you will tell me exactly
where you found that girl.

The gypsy. The one who said her
name was Genevieve.

I don't know.
I know nothing.

Talk, damn you!

I don't recall, sire.
I know... know...

Take him to the dungeon!

On your feet, scoundrel!
Move!

Some of you think swallowing a sword
blade is just a matter of practice,

but I can assure you that Toledo ware
is not to everyone's taste and you'll

never be successful unless you
have a stomach like steel.

Of course it also helps if
you're related to the Devil,

a cousin or a nephew you know, or son
but I don't want to insult my mother.

But I do have a devil in the flesh
and I hope you'll allow me to prove it.

One, two, hup...

Thank you!

Now we'll see whether you've
been lying or not.

Oh, I swear it's the truth, I swear it!
Oh, if I'd only never met the two of them!

He's the one. The one who was with Genevieve.
He made me take her along with the others.

Well, are you ready to answer our
questions yet, you rogue?

There must be some mistake. I don't know anything.
I swear... I had nothing to do with it.

That dog, Master Rudolph,
lied to you to save his own neck!

Don't lie to me!
You gypsy scoundrel!

My informants swear you were at the tavern
speaking with that other ruffian

in company with a blonde gypsy girl, and
anyone can guess who she must have been.

In this torture chamber,
no has ever kept silent.

- Therefore I advise you to confess...
- I know nothing!

Before we reduce you to piteous ruin!

Stop! Please! Please! I'll talk!
I'll tell all! Yes! Yes!

I'll tell you everything you
want to know!... Everything!

Beyond that bridge is French territory.

How do we know we
can trust you, gypsy?

It would be foolish to
lie to you now, sire.

What about frontier guards,
can we get through?

Of course, we've often
passed through here.

And you're quite sure they've taken refuge
in the abandoned convent at Villainville?

It was your brother who
first thought of it.

It's better to stay out of sight for
a while, before escaping to Spain, sir.

He's stupider than I had imagined!
Miserable individual!

But I'll crush him like a viper!

We must dismount, that bridge is
not new, it may be dangerous.

Right.

Watch your step, gypsy. First
false move I'll run you through.

They're leaving?

No, they're just going down to
the village for provisions.

If you're lying,
you will regret it!

Sire, I have no reason
to lie to you.

You get and open the door.

Kurt, is that you?

No, it's Diego.
Open up, it's urgent.

Go and look for Kurt,
I want her for myself.

Very well.

Do you recognise me?

I have come here to settle
accounts, my dear!

I'm killing you for revenge, and
my brother, Kurt, for treachery.

In your family, von Nutter,
betrayal is the rule of the house

but I'm afraid this is your last!

You're going to pay for
your insolence!

You owe your survival to the
fact I wear this mask!

Very moving, you should be proud
to show people how you really look.

Your aim is splendid, but
it's only a flesh wound.

Go on... why do you hesitate?
You beat me fairly, I'm finished!

Don't be impatient, Baron.

What do you want?

That you deny all rights to
the land of the de Frissacs!

What does it matter? I have
no heirs to succeed me.

You hold an act of cession granting
you all rights and privileges to

rule in my dukedom which you falsely
signed in my father's name.

Suppose I did?

I want everyone to know it, and you are
going to put into writing that you were

in illegal possession of the inheritance
of the family of the de Frissacs,

all of whom you murdered
to cover your tracks.

Well, do you admit it?

It's the only method of resolving
a tiresome dispute.

But no one will ever know it!

Unhand that girl, Baron von Nutter!

In the name of His Majesty, Louis
XIII, I declare you under arrest!

So! That was all just play acting!

Tricked by the gypsy duchess! But
remember, Marshall, I'm a guest here.

Here in French territory
you can't arrest me.

I have a place on the council estate
of Germany. Don't forget it.

Besides, what can you
accuse me of doing?

Everyone here has heard the confession
you made just now to Isabella.

By your own words you leave me no choice
but to have you condemned to death.

They are friars of the congregation of
mercy, the gaoler already knows.

But... but... that's Kurt!

We should get the right one!

The gaoler!

En garde, Baron!

Mayer, Kurt, Gunther and the gaoler.
They all paid for this together.

Baron von Nutter must have got away.
