1
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,543
(ominous music)

2
00:00:24,358 --> 00:00:26,691
(crows caw)

3
00:00:32,491 --> 00:00:35,484
(suspenseful music)

4
00:00:37,788 --> 00:00:41,247
(rooster crows)

5
00:00:41,250 --> 00:00:43,663
(soft music)

6
00:00:56,139 --> 00:00:59,132
(suspenseful music)

7
00:01:11,780 --> 00:01:14,864
(retainer cries out)

8
00:01:21,873 --> 00:01:22,791
(door bangs)

9
00:01:22,792 --> 00:01:25,704
(fast-paced music)

10
00:01:28,589 --> 00:01:31,582
(suspenseful music)

11
00:01:39,975 --> 00:01:42,558
(man groaning)

12
00:01:45,981 --> 00:01:48,644
(ominous music)

13
00:01:52,404 --> 00:01:55,147
(dramatic music)

14
00:01:59,077 --> 00:02:02,070
(Philippe groaning)

15
00:02:04,082 --> 00:02:06,745
(ominous music)

16
00:02:46,917 --> 00:02:50,410
(gentle orchestral music)

17
00:02:55,425 --> 00:02:59,089
(dramatic orchestral music)

18
00:03:17,739 --> 00:03:21,073
(soft melancholy music)

19
00:04:12,085 --> 00:04:15,078
(suspenseful music)

20
00:05:01,802 --> 00:05:04,715
(knocking on door)

21
00:05:09,226 --> 00:05:11,889
(ominous music)

22
00:05:21,363 --> 00:05:24,697
(soft melancholy music)

23
00:05:35,168 --> 00:05:36,375
(door bangs)

24
00:05:36,378 --> 00:05:37,835
You must understand, monsieur.

25
00:05:37,838 --> 00:05:40,501
I have strict orders not to
let anyone see these prisoners.

26
00:05:40,507 --> 00:05:43,090
But an order from the
Minister, Monsieur Fouquet.

27
00:05:43,093 --> 00:05:44,800
(prisoner screams)

28
00:05:44,803 --> 00:05:47,170
(ominous music)

29
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:48,546
The rack, mademoiselle.

30
00:05:48,557 --> 00:05:50,970
Still the best way to
loosen a villain's tongue.

31
00:05:53,061 --> 00:05:55,644
(prisoner moaning)

32
00:05:55,647 --> 00:05:58,310
(ominous music)

33
00:06:09,452 --> 00:06:12,320
Tell me, monsieur, why
does a beautiful young lady

34
00:06:12,330 --> 00:06:14,492
of His Majesty's court wish to see

35
00:06:14,499 --> 00:06:16,582
a wretch like this de la Valliere?

36
00:06:16,585 --> 00:06:17,996
She is the man's daughter.

37
00:06:19,170 --> 00:06:21,662
A fact that Monsieur Fouquet
would not want published.

38
00:06:21,673 --> 00:06:24,962
As governor of the Bastille,
one learns to be discreet.

39
00:06:24,968 --> 00:06:27,631
(ominous music)

40
00:06:29,931 --> 00:06:31,593
[Prisoner] Please!

41
00:06:34,686 --> 00:06:37,303
(keys rattling)

42
00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:44,237
Monsieur!

43
00:06:44,238 --> 00:06:47,776
Monsieur, I demand to know why I am here!

44
00:06:47,782 --> 00:06:49,489
What have I done?

45
00:06:49,492 --> 00:06:50,326
Who is my accuser?

46
00:06:50,327 --> 00:06:51,534
When am I to be tried?

47
00:06:52,871 --> 00:06:55,488
To hear them complain,
they are all innocent.

48
00:07:06,134 --> 00:07:07,134
Alone,

49
00:07:08,219 --> 00:07:09,710
as I was promised.

50
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:12,596
Five minutes, no more.

51
00:07:13,850 --> 00:07:16,513
(keys rattling)

52
00:07:29,324 --> 00:07:30,324
Father?

53
00:07:32,327 --> 00:07:34,284
Who's there?

54
00:07:34,287 --> 00:07:36,529
What do you want of me?

55
00:07:36,539 --> 00:07:37,700
It's Louise.

56
00:07:41,670 --> 00:07:42,670
Louise?

57
00:07:46,549 --> 00:07:47,549
Go away!

58
00:07:49,469 --> 00:07:50,960
I'm dreaming.

59
00:07:50,971 --> 00:07:51,971
No, papa.

60
00:07:53,139 --> 00:07:54,801
You're not dreaming.

61
00:07:58,478 --> 00:08:02,267
Dear child! (gasping)

62
00:08:02,273 --> 00:08:05,232
Dear child! (sobbing)

63
00:08:05,235 --> 00:08:06,442
Forgive me.

64
00:08:06,444 --> 00:08:08,436
Why isn't this, I can't.

65
00:08:10,031 --> 00:08:11,863
Let me see you.

66
00:08:11,866 --> 00:08:16,531
(sobbing) How beautiful you are!

67
00:08:16,538 --> 00:08:17,745
So, so elegant.

68
00:08:19,207 --> 00:08:22,200
(chuckles) Life at court must suit you.

69
00:08:22,210 --> 00:08:24,202
Oh, if only you knew how little.

70
00:08:24,212 --> 00:08:25,498
(Armand coughs)

71
00:08:25,505 --> 00:08:27,121
Dearest papa,

72
00:08:27,132 --> 00:08:28,748
please forgive me.

73
00:08:28,758 --> 00:08:30,875
What, why do you blame yourself?

74
00:08:32,303 --> 00:08:35,296
If I had not rejected the
attentions of Monsieur Fouquet.

75
00:08:35,306 --> 00:08:36,306
Fouquet?

76
00:08:37,684 --> 00:08:39,471
That lecher!

77
00:08:39,477 --> 00:08:41,469
Shh, we may be heard.

78
00:08:41,479 --> 00:08:43,095
(Armand coughs)

79
00:08:43,106 --> 00:08:44,972
It would be better if I
were Fouquet's mistress,

80
00:08:44,983 --> 00:08:45,983
and you were free.

81
00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:48,317
Never!

82
00:08:48,319 --> 00:08:50,060
I'd rather rot here.

83
00:08:51,114 --> 00:08:53,151
He said that if I gave myself to him.

84
00:08:53,158 --> 00:08:54,615
[Armand] Do they never!

85
00:08:54,617 --> 00:08:56,483
[Louise] I must accept his bargain.

86
00:08:57,495 --> 00:08:58,827
[Armand] No!

87
00:08:58,830 --> 00:09:00,321
No!

88
00:09:00,331 --> 00:09:03,165
(Armand coughing)

89
00:09:04,294 --> 00:09:05,535
Mademoiselle!

90
00:09:09,716 --> 00:09:10,797
My father and I,

91
00:09:13,511 --> 00:09:14,511
thank you

92
00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:17,262
for your kindness.

93
00:09:17,265 --> 00:09:18,141
(melancholy music)

94
00:09:18,142 --> 00:09:20,384
Why do you stare at me so?

95
00:09:22,937 --> 00:09:24,724
It's just that you resemble.

96
00:09:27,525 --> 00:09:28,525
Who?

97
00:09:30,945 --> 00:09:32,436
An acquaintance.

98
00:09:34,449 --> 00:09:35,449
Do not be afraid.

99
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,284
How could I harm anyone so beautiful?

100
00:09:40,455 --> 00:09:41,787
But you must tell me.

101
00:09:42,916 --> 00:09:43,916
I must know.

102
00:09:45,210 --> 00:09:47,873
(keys rattling)

103
00:09:49,130 --> 00:09:52,419
(gentle music)

104
00:09:52,425 --> 00:09:53,425
It is time.

105
00:09:58,139 --> 00:09:59,139
Give me some light.

106
00:10:01,351 --> 00:10:02,637
You there, come here.

107
00:10:10,401 --> 00:10:11,437
(Duval gasps)

108
00:10:11,444 --> 00:10:13,185
What is it you see?

109
00:10:15,031 --> 00:10:17,148
[Duval] Leave him alone!

110
00:10:17,158 --> 00:10:19,821
(ominous music)

111
00:10:32,215 --> 00:10:34,878
(keys rattling)

112
00:10:38,096 --> 00:10:40,679
(joyful music)

113
00:10:48,022 --> 00:10:49,763
[Man] Monsieur, monsieur, monsieur.

114
00:10:49,774 --> 00:10:52,266
(people laughing)

115
00:10:52,277 --> 00:10:55,441
(men speaking French)

116
00:10:57,615 --> 00:10:58,449
(people laughing)

117
00:10:58,450 --> 00:11:01,614
(men speaking French)

118
00:11:04,372 --> 00:11:07,206
(people laughing)

119
00:11:08,376 --> 00:11:11,540
(men speaking French)

120
00:11:20,013 --> 00:11:25,008
See how the hawk and the
falcon conspire together?

121
00:11:25,101 --> 00:11:27,844
I wonder what evil they are hatching.

122
00:11:27,854 --> 00:11:29,265
Fouquet.

123
00:11:29,272 --> 00:11:31,559
The master juggler at work.

124
00:11:31,566 --> 00:11:33,432
The national treasury plundered.

125
00:11:33,443 --> 00:11:36,186
The very wealth of funds
smoothly channelled

126
00:11:36,196 --> 00:11:39,155
into personal glory in
his chateau at Vaux.

127
00:11:39,157 --> 00:11:41,740
Maybe we'll see him pay it back one day.

128
00:11:43,661 --> 00:11:45,653
(people laughing)

129
00:11:45,663 --> 00:11:47,450
But look at the real scourge of France.

130
00:11:47,457 --> 00:11:50,291
This water lily who calls himself a king.

131
00:11:50,293 --> 00:11:51,534
Patience, D'Artagnan.

132
00:11:51,544 --> 00:11:55,458
Remember, Louis still wears the
crown and bears the sceptre.

133
00:11:55,465 --> 00:11:58,208
Any action against him
must be a last recourse.

134
00:11:58,218 --> 00:12:00,835
It cannot be soon enough for me.

135
00:12:00,845 --> 00:12:03,758
Fouquet has ears everywhere.

136
00:12:03,765 --> 00:12:05,506
He must not never get wind of our plans

137
00:12:05,516 --> 00:12:07,758
until we are ready to act.

138
00:12:07,769 --> 00:12:10,477
I will count the minutes till the day.

139
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,063
(Colbert shushes)

140
00:12:13,066 --> 00:12:17,151
(people chattering and laughing)

141
00:12:21,199 --> 00:12:22,781
I tell you.

142
00:12:22,784 --> 00:12:23,784
He lives!

143
00:12:27,413 --> 00:12:28,654
Where?

144
00:12:28,665 --> 00:12:29,665
The Bastille.

145
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:32,036
Though God knows what stroke of fate

146
00:12:32,043 --> 00:12:33,659
put him there for me to find.

147
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:34,670
Fate?

148
00:12:35,713 --> 00:12:37,454
This was the work of those jealous

149
00:12:37,465 --> 00:12:39,377
of my power over the King.

150
00:12:39,384 --> 00:12:40,465
[Duval] Colbert?

151
00:12:40,468 --> 00:12:43,302
As I've long suspected that venerated

152
00:12:43,304 --> 00:12:46,797
Minister of the Interior to
have a plot to do me damage.

153
00:12:46,808 --> 00:12:49,221
But a move so bold as this,

154
00:12:49,227 --> 00:12:51,640
is not only against me, it's...

155
00:12:51,646 --> 00:12:53,137
Could be treason.

156
00:12:53,147 --> 00:12:54,147
Delicious.

157
00:12:55,233 --> 00:12:56,644
I'll hang the old fox yet!

158
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:01,733
Are you absolutely sure it's the boy?

159
00:13:02,949 --> 00:13:07,034
The protege of Cardinal Mazarin,
not just some look-alike?

160
00:13:08,371 --> 00:13:10,408
The resemblance is too perfect.

161
00:13:10,415 --> 00:13:11,415
It has to be.

162
00:13:13,668 --> 00:13:14,875
We must be certain.

163
00:13:17,380 --> 00:13:18,380
Must be.

164
00:13:19,299 --> 00:13:21,962
(ominous music)

165
00:13:26,389 --> 00:13:29,052
(keys rattling)

166
00:13:34,522 --> 00:13:36,434
Who are you?

167
00:13:36,441 --> 00:13:39,809
(ominous music)

168
00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:41,230
What do you want?

169
00:13:44,532 --> 00:13:46,398
(Philippe groans)

170
00:13:46,409 --> 00:13:49,402
(suspenseful music)

171
00:14:06,179 --> 00:14:08,136
[Fouquet] Who brought
this prisoner here?

172
00:14:08,139 --> 00:14:09,755
I don't know who arrested him.

173
00:14:09,766 --> 00:14:12,429
The order was signed by some
obscure prefecture in Burgundy.

174
00:14:12,435 --> 00:14:15,018
No one must see that prisoner
without my authorization.

175
00:14:15,021 --> 00:14:17,229
Guard him well,
or it will be your neck.

176
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:21,601
Rest assured, Minister!

177
00:14:21,611 --> 00:14:22,692
Rest assured.

178
00:14:25,031 --> 00:14:27,774
(birds chirping)

179
00:14:29,285 --> 00:14:32,278
(people chattering)

180
00:14:47,303 --> 00:14:50,842
(crowd exclaims and applauds)

181
00:14:50,848 --> 00:14:53,431
(joyful music)

182
00:14:56,896 --> 00:14:59,434
Beat that, Montfleury, if you can.

183
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:00,681
(Montfleury gasps)

184
00:15:00,691 --> 00:15:01,525
If you dare!

185
00:15:01,526 --> 00:15:03,438
What, and risk another tantrum?

186
00:15:03,444 --> 00:15:05,527
I shall miss by a league, my dear.

187
00:15:06,864 --> 00:15:09,447
(joyful music)

188
00:15:30,555 --> 00:15:32,387
How brazenly de La Valliere

189
00:15:32,390 --> 00:15:34,347
flirts with your husband, madame.

190
00:15:35,852 --> 00:15:39,436
How openly your son
encourages her, madame.

191
00:15:40,690 --> 00:15:43,273
(joyful music)

192
00:15:46,154 --> 00:15:48,146
Oh, what a pity!

193
00:15:48,156 --> 00:15:50,944
(all laughing)

194
00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:53,533
(joyful music)

195
00:16:10,595 --> 00:16:11,711
(bell dings)

196
00:16:11,721 --> 00:16:14,634
(crowd applauding)

197
00:16:15,516 --> 00:16:18,008
(dog barking)

198
00:16:19,645 --> 00:16:22,604
(people chattering)

199
00:16:28,988 --> 00:16:32,072
(gentle flute music)

200
00:16:33,701 --> 00:16:37,320
Ah, Fouquet, if you come to
join the game, you are too late.

201
00:16:37,330 --> 00:16:39,822
We are bored with it,
and have found ourselves

202
00:16:39,832 --> 00:16:41,573
a new distraction.

203
00:16:41,584 --> 00:16:45,373
I seek a word in
private with Your Majesty

204
00:16:45,379 --> 00:16:47,496
on a matter of some urgency.

205
00:16:47,507 --> 00:16:49,794
What a tedious man you are, Fouquet!

206
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,666
You haven't even asked the score.

207
00:16:51,677 --> 00:16:56,672
I wager Your Majesty played
as successfully as usual?

208
00:16:56,807 --> 00:16:57,968
We have won every set.

209
00:16:57,975 --> 00:16:59,557
Congratulations, Sire.

210
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,051
Come to our chambers later.

211
00:17:02,647 --> 00:17:04,138
Much later.

212
00:17:04,148 --> 00:17:06,731
(gentle music)

213
00:17:09,779 --> 00:17:14,194
How can you endure such
humiliation with a smile?

214
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,784
Easily, madame, if it
keeps him from my bedroom.

215
00:17:17,787 --> 00:17:19,699
With a common country girl?

216
00:17:19,705 --> 00:17:21,071
Little slut.

217
00:17:21,082 --> 00:17:23,119
You are not the only one to be upset.

218
00:17:24,335 --> 00:17:25,496
Look at Fouquet.

219
00:17:27,213 --> 00:17:29,296
I admire your restraint, monsieur.

220
00:17:29,298 --> 00:17:31,881
No sacrifice is too great, Duval,

221
00:17:31,884 --> 00:17:35,252
if one pleases one's sovereign.

222
00:17:37,848 --> 00:17:39,760
Why is that?

223
00:17:39,767 --> 00:17:42,851
Because, madame, our little Louis

224
00:17:42,853 --> 00:17:44,469
has taken his prize!

225
00:17:48,776 --> 00:17:52,269
(gentle orchestral music)

226
00:18:10,506 --> 00:18:11,506
Exquisite!

227
00:18:14,594 --> 00:18:16,927
But we will have to
arrange for a new wardrobe.

228
00:18:18,431 --> 00:18:20,718
His Majesty is too kind.

229
00:18:20,725 --> 00:18:21,725
Not at all.

230
00:18:22,685 --> 00:18:25,177
It is a pity to hide such assets.

231
00:18:25,187 --> 00:18:27,520
You deserve gowns that will show them off

232
00:18:27,523 --> 00:18:29,936
and allow one a glimpse of paradise.

233
00:18:32,278 --> 00:18:33,519
Come, come, why so shy?

234
00:18:34,447 --> 00:18:35,323
Surely you've guessed by now

235
00:18:35,324 --> 00:18:37,110
that I would give the world for you.

236
00:18:38,034 --> 00:18:40,868
Simply ask, and it will be yours!

237
00:18:42,163 --> 00:18:44,405
Oh, Your Majesty, I would not presume.

238
00:18:44,415 --> 00:18:46,202
Dear girl, I expect you to presume.

239
00:18:46,208 --> 00:18:47,619
Presume too much!

240
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,869
Demand more than I can fulfil!

241
00:18:49,879 --> 00:18:51,916
That will be my agony and my joy!

242
00:18:53,090 --> 00:18:54,331
Such is the game of love,

243
00:18:55,468 --> 00:18:57,960
at which I perceive you are new.

244
00:18:59,555 --> 00:19:01,763
Alas, I fear I will
never know the rules.

245
00:19:01,766 --> 00:19:02,766
Nonsense.

246
00:19:03,476 --> 00:19:04,592
I will instruct you.

247
00:19:06,687 --> 00:19:10,476
For example, when I shower you with gifts,

248
00:19:10,483 --> 00:19:13,772
do not be too quick to show your pleasure.

249
00:19:13,778 --> 00:19:16,020
Pout a while and look dissatisfied.

250
00:19:17,323 --> 00:19:20,361
But surely that would
hurt your feelings, Sire.

251
00:19:20,368 --> 00:19:21,368
Yes!

252
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,906
Yes, now you begin to understand.

253
00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:40,173
And I will grovel at your feet, like this

254
00:19:42,014 --> 00:19:44,222
and kiss the hem of your gown, like this,

255
00:19:45,434 --> 00:19:46,925
and beg you to forgive me.

256
00:19:48,437 --> 00:19:49,803
Your Majesty!

257
00:19:49,814 --> 00:19:52,397
(Louis laughs)

258
00:19:57,988 --> 00:19:59,570
- Monsieur.
- We have been waiting...

259
00:19:59,573 --> 00:20:01,781
Messieurs, messieurs,
please, His Majesty

260
00:20:01,784 --> 00:20:04,492
will receive you all in due course.

261
00:20:04,495 --> 00:20:07,238
(ministers speak simultaneously)

262
00:20:07,248 --> 00:20:08,784
Will His Majesty see me now?

263
00:20:08,791 --> 00:20:10,498
[Secretary] His Majesty
craves the Minister

264
00:20:10,501 --> 00:20:13,335
of the Interior's indulgence
a little while longer.

265
00:20:14,755 --> 00:20:16,212
- Monsieur Fouquet.
- Later.

266
00:20:17,967 --> 00:20:18,967
Much later.

267
00:20:19,802 --> 00:20:22,260
(ministers whispering simultaneously)

268
00:20:22,263 --> 00:20:23,720
[Minister] We should just stand here.

269
00:20:23,723 --> 00:20:27,091
(ministers murmuring)

270
00:20:27,101 --> 00:20:29,684
Monsieur Colbert, D'Artagnan.

271
00:20:30,646 --> 00:20:31,727
Monsieur.

272
00:20:31,731 --> 00:20:34,018
You are looking more fit than ever.

273
00:20:34,024 --> 00:20:35,105
Thank you.

274
00:20:35,109 --> 00:20:38,443
And you're looking more
prosperous than ever, monsieur.

275
00:20:44,952 --> 00:20:45,952
[Secretary] Monsieur.

276
00:20:46,662 --> 00:20:48,574
[Minister] I have been
kept waiting five days!

277
00:20:48,581 --> 00:20:49,992
[Man] I hear the English
Ambassador was kept...

278
00:20:49,999 --> 00:20:51,080
[Minister] Have you heard Charles

279
00:20:51,083 --> 00:20:52,001
has recalled his emissary?

280
00:20:52,002 --> 00:20:53,994
[Man] How can a country
survive without the monarch?

281
00:20:54,003 --> 00:20:55,710
Do you hear them?

282
00:20:55,713 --> 00:20:57,579
How much longer must we suffer this?

283
00:20:57,590 --> 00:21:00,082
We must not act impetuously.

284
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:01,799
Impetuously?

285
00:21:01,802 --> 00:21:04,044
Our shores are threatened from abroad,

286
00:21:04,054 --> 00:21:06,137
our people cry out for bread,

287
00:21:06,140 --> 00:21:10,259
and Louis writes odes to
peace and dances the minuet!

288
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:12,477
What is to become of
France with such a king?

289
00:21:23,157 --> 00:21:25,114
(knocking on door)

290
00:21:25,117 --> 00:21:26,117
The door.

291
00:21:26,827 --> 00:21:28,363
Ignore it, they will go away.

292
00:21:31,707 --> 00:21:34,290
(Louis scoffs)

293
00:21:37,379 --> 00:21:40,292
(knocking on door)

294
00:21:41,217 --> 00:21:42,217
Enter!

295
00:21:50,309 --> 00:21:51,470
Your Majesty.

296
00:21:51,477 --> 00:21:52,477
Ah, Fouquet.

297
00:21:53,604 --> 00:21:55,095
How quick you are.

298
00:21:55,105 --> 00:21:57,688
Pray, forgive the intrusion,

299
00:21:57,691 --> 00:21:59,648
but the business that I spoke of,

300
00:22:00,986 --> 00:22:02,193
I fear it cannot wait.

301
00:22:04,490 --> 00:22:07,528
Alas, my dear, such are
the burdens of monarchy.

302
00:22:07,535 --> 00:22:08,571
Please, leave us.

303
00:22:10,663 --> 00:22:12,746
No, through here.

304
00:22:12,748 --> 00:22:15,661
(melancholy music)

305
00:22:15,668 --> 00:22:18,411
It leads to your new apartments.

306
00:22:18,420 --> 00:22:21,163
Through this passage we can come and go,

307
00:22:21,173 --> 00:22:24,666
unobserved by the Queen and my mother.

308
00:22:27,763 --> 00:22:30,506
Till soon, my one and only love.

309
00:22:40,734 --> 00:22:44,148
Ah, Fouquet, what a delight she is!

310
00:22:44,154 --> 00:22:45,154
Such

311
00:22:46,198 --> 00:22:47,314
transparent innocence!

312
00:22:47,324 --> 00:22:49,065
Such incandescent beauty.

313
00:22:49,076 --> 00:22:50,738
She seems demure.

314
00:22:50,744 --> 00:22:52,485
Yes. (scoffs)

315
00:22:52,496 --> 00:22:54,237
Too demure, we must admit.

316
00:22:54,248 --> 00:22:56,080
We are at our wit's end.

317
00:22:56,083 --> 00:22:57,083
Perhaps,

318
00:22:59,128 --> 00:23:01,370
I can help persuade the girl.

319
00:23:03,090 --> 00:23:04,752
You have her confidence?

320
00:23:04,758 --> 00:23:06,590
To some small degree.

321
00:23:06,594 --> 00:23:11,589
If you could but convince
her to trust herself to us.

322
00:23:11,724 --> 00:23:14,933
We would be most grateful
in return, Monsieur Fouquet.

323
00:23:14,935 --> 00:23:17,222
- At Your Majesty's service.
- Yes, yes, yes.

324
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,472
And now your pressing business.

325
00:23:24,653 --> 00:23:26,770
How could you be so cold-hearted?

326
00:23:26,780 --> 00:23:27,780
Henriette!

327
00:23:29,408 --> 00:23:31,695
The face I see before
me, I could easily love.

328
00:23:32,745 --> 00:23:34,281
But the man I find behind the face.

329
00:23:34,288 --> 00:23:36,496
Oh, Louise.

330
00:23:36,498 --> 00:23:38,034
My fan!

331
00:23:38,042 --> 00:23:39,499
I left my fan!

332
00:23:39,501 --> 00:23:41,333
The Queen shouldn't find it there.

333
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,748
(women chattering)

334
00:23:45,758 --> 00:23:47,715
[Louis] You must be mad, Fouquet!

335
00:23:47,718 --> 00:23:49,584
Our twin brother died at birth.

336
00:23:49,595 --> 00:23:51,678
He lives, Sire, I assure you.

337
00:23:52,681 --> 00:23:54,843
That death was the invention

338
00:23:54,850 --> 00:23:57,058
of your father's first minister.

339
00:23:58,062 --> 00:23:58,896
Mazarin.

340
00:23:58,897 --> 00:24:00,933
A lie that he told to the King,

341
00:24:00,940 --> 00:24:05,685
which he accepted in good faith,
the infant was still born.

342
00:24:05,694 --> 00:24:06,694
In fact,

343
00:24:07,488 --> 00:24:08,899
he lived.

344
00:24:08,906 --> 00:24:12,866
He was taken away and
brought up in a secret place.

345
00:24:12,868 --> 00:24:15,952
On the pretext of sparing
your mother further grief,

346
00:24:15,955 --> 00:24:20,541
a secret quick funeral was
prepared and a coffin was buried.

347
00:24:22,378 --> 00:24:24,290
God knows who was really in that coffin.

348
00:24:24,296 --> 00:24:26,913
One thing is now certain, Sire,

349
00:24:26,924 --> 00:24:30,042
it was not your brother Philippe.

350
00:24:30,052 --> 00:24:32,886
But, what could have been
Mazarin's motive in all this?

351
00:24:35,015 --> 00:24:36,015
Sire,

352
00:24:37,393 --> 00:24:40,932
the first born is rightful
heir to the throne.

353
00:24:40,938 --> 00:24:42,770
You are the second son.

354
00:24:42,773 --> 00:24:47,393
Now, he, having in his
control the legitimate heir,

355
00:24:47,403 --> 00:24:49,565
had the power to manipulate you.

356
00:24:54,326 --> 00:24:59,321
Our own mother would have let
her lover Mazarin use us so?

357
00:24:59,957 --> 00:25:02,074
Louis, a puppet king?
- Precisely.

358
00:25:03,752 --> 00:25:05,994
The very ground we stand
upon turns to quicksand.

359
00:25:06,005 --> 00:25:07,005
Fortunately,

360
00:25:07,965 --> 00:25:11,083
Mazarin died before he was able

361
00:25:11,093 --> 00:25:15,053
to replace you on the throne
with your brother Philippe,

362
00:25:15,055 --> 00:25:16,341
and the secret died with him.

363
00:25:16,348 --> 00:25:17,759
That is, we thought so until now.

364
00:25:17,766 --> 00:25:19,678
Are you certain beyond a doubt

365
00:25:19,685 --> 00:25:22,052
that this is our brother Philippe?

366
00:25:24,189 --> 00:25:27,557
I have myself seen the birthmark.

367
00:25:27,568 --> 00:25:30,811
(hoofbeats clicking)

368
00:25:30,821 --> 00:25:32,403
Forgive me.

369
00:25:32,406 --> 00:25:33,406
Identical,

370
00:25:37,494 --> 00:25:39,611
with the one Your Majesty bears.

371
00:25:40,748 --> 00:25:44,162
(hoofbeats clicking)

372
00:25:44,168 --> 00:25:47,081
(women chattering)

373
00:25:51,842 --> 00:25:56,758
What a fool Louis has been
to think his crown secure.

374
00:25:59,767 --> 00:26:00,767
Sire,

375
00:26:02,144 --> 00:26:03,144
fear not.

376
00:26:04,438 --> 00:26:08,022
I have the pretender in safe custody.

377
00:26:11,236 --> 00:26:13,649
What have you done with Philippe?

378
00:26:13,655 --> 00:26:15,021
Is he safe and sound?

379
00:26:15,032 --> 00:26:18,776
What could be safer and
more sound than the Bastille?

380
00:26:18,786 --> 00:26:20,027
The Bastille?

381
00:26:21,121 --> 00:26:24,159
Where better to hide
him from Fouquet's spies?

382
00:26:24,166 --> 00:26:25,407
Does he suspect anything?

383
00:26:25,417 --> 00:26:26,658
No, nothing.

384
00:26:26,668 --> 00:26:28,785
He is haunted by the mystery.

385
00:26:28,796 --> 00:26:30,958
It would be an act of
mercy to let him know.

386
00:26:30,964 --> 00:26:32,500
We must say nothing yet.

387
00:26:32,508 --> 00:26:34,750
We should tell him his true identity.

388
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,003
You and I are flirting
with high treason, my friend.

389
00:26:38,013 --> 00:26:40,630
Let Philippe remain
ignorant for his own sake,

390
00:26:40,641 --> 00:26:41,848
as well as our own.

391
00:26:41,850 --> 00:26:45,469
The rack can loosen any man's tongue,

392
00:26:45,479 --> 00:26:46,970
even that of a prince.

393
00:26:48,982 --> 00:26:50,974
(church bells ringing)

394
00:26:50,984 --> 00:26:53,772
Who has revived this
conspiracy against us?

395
00:26:55,697 --> 00:26:57,233
Names.

396
00:26:57,241 --> 00:26:58,573
[Fouquet] We cannot point the finger

397
00:26:58,575 --> 00:26:59,907
until I have more proof.

398
00:27:05,666 --> 00:27:06,873
Get it!

399
00:27:06,875 --> 00:27:10,869
And when you have it, we
will extract our retribution.

400
00:27:13,132 --> 00:27:14,589
Has our brother any property?

401
00:27:15,467 --> 00:27:19,006
Just a small estate
in Burgundy, I am told.

402
00:27:19,012 --> 00:27:20,012
Confiscate it!

403
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:22,640
And,

404
00:27:23,684 --> 00:27:26,301
the fate of the pretender?

405
00:27:27,980 --> 00:27:29,471
Not a single drop of royal blood

406
00:27:29,481 --> 00:27:31,017
is to be shed in this, Fouquet!

407
00:27:32,526 --> 00:27:35,894
We would not want to tempt
providence by condoning regicide.

408
00:27:35,904 --> 00:27:36,904
Wise.

409
00:27:38,198 --> 00:27:39,405
Very wise, Sire.

410
00:27:44,121 --> 00:27:46,829
(Louis chuckles)

411
00:27:46,832 --> 00:27:49,950
Also, we cannot forget
that this pretender

412
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,077
is more than our brother, he is our twin,

413
00:27:53,255 --> 00:27:55,998
our mirror image, our other self.

414
00:27:59,052 --> 00:28:02,136
Wound Philippe, and might not Louis bleed?

415
00:28:03,473 --> 00:28:06,090
Kill Philippe, and might not Louis die?

416
00:28:08,562 --> 00:28:12,181
No, we must find some other way.

417
00:28:12,191 --> 00:28:15,434
Sire, I know of a fortress

418
00:28:16,361 --> 00:28:18,193
remote and inaccessible.

419
00:28:18,197 --> 00:28:19,779
We leave the place to your discretion.

420
00:28:19,781 --> 00:28:21,989
[Fouquet] Most certain.

421
00:28:21,992 --> 00:28:23,233
But know this, Fouquet,

422
00:28:24,161 --> 00:28:26,153
we wish never to hear his name again,

423
00:28:27,539 --> 00:28:31,533
and no one, no one is ever
to look upon his face.

424
00:28:33,295 --> 00:28:35,628
That is why mere confinement
will not suffice.

425
00:28:36,632 --> 00:28:37,964
We must devise

426
00:28:40,219 --> 00:28:41,219
something

427
00:28:45,390 --> 00:28:46,676
special?

428
00:28:46,683 --> 00:28:49,346
(ominous music)

429
00:28:55,984 --> 00:28:59,193
(keys rattling)

430
00:28:59,196 --> 00:29:00,232
[Man] We want him.

431
00:29:01,156 --> 00:29:02,156
Come.

432
00:29:05,452 --> 00:29:06,784
Where are you taking me?

433
00:29:06,787 --> 00:29:08,779
Île Sainte-Marguerite.

434
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,033
(suspenseful music)

435
00:29:16,755 --> 00:29:19,338
(horse neighs)

436
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:33,727
Île Sainte-Marguerite.

437
00:29:35,607 --> 00:29:38,270
Île Sainte-Marguerite, what, what is it?

438
00:29:39,987 --> 00:29:40,987
A place of repose.

439
00:29:43,198 --> 00:29:45,611
As restful as the one I have just left?

440
00:29:45,617 --> 00:29:47,904
Oh, more so, you will
have total seclusion

441
00:29:47,911 --> 00:29:49,573
and constant personal care.

442
00:29:52,624 --> 00:29:56,208
I see the beginnings of
it, thank you, monsieur.

443
00:29:56,211 --> 00:29:57,998
The shackles are merely
a temporary measure

444
00:29:58,005 --> 00:29:59,837
for your protection

445
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,832
in case you might attempt
something foolish.

446
00:30:01,842 --> 00:30:04,334
I promise they'll be removed
as soon as we arrive.

447
00:30:05,429 --> 00:30:06,510
You promise?

448
00:30:07,389 --> 00:30:08,470
Faithfully.

449
00:30:08,473 --> 00:30:11,762
(Philippe scoffs)

450
00:30:11,768 --> 00:30:14,306
(horse neighs)

451
00:30:20,319 --> 00:30:21,355
What are you?

452
00:30:21,361 --> 00:30:22,237
Hmm?

453
00:30:22,238 --> 00:30:23,570
[Philippe] What are you?

454
00:30:25,824 --> 00:30:26,824
A minister.

455
00:30:27,909 --> 00:30:29,946
Not with the church, I'll be bound.

456
00:30:29,953 --> 00:30:31,489
Perhaps I missed my vocation.

457
00:30:33,248 --> 00:30:35,114
The church, oh thank god.

458
00:30:35,125 --> 00:30:36,125
Very good.

459
00:30:37,002 --> 00:30:39,460
Perhaps you missed your vocation.

460
00:30:39,463 --> 00:30:42,456
(suspenseful music)

461
00:30:47,596 --> 00:30:50,259
I admire your spirit, young man.

462
00:30:50,265 --> 00:30:52,302
You come from good stock.

463
00:30:54,269 --> 00:30:55,680
What do you want of me?

464
00:30:55,687 --> 00:30:58,430
It would be unfair to
burden your mind with thoughts

465
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,308
that might torment you
in your secluded night.

466
00:31:02,569 --> 00:31:03,569
Very well.

467
00:31:04,529 --> 00:31:05,986
You should feel complimented.

468
00:31:07,741 --> 00:31:10,108
You are a principal player in a game.

469
00:31:12,913 --> 00:31:14,279
The game of history.

470
00:31:16,291 --> 00:31:17,998
Does that give you food for thought?

471
00:31:18,877 --> 00:31:21,870
(suspenseful music)

472
00:31:25,384 --> 00:31:26,920
I can smell the sea air.

473
00:31:28,637 --> 00:31:33,348
Soon we shall enjoy a
brief voyage together.

474
00:31:33,350 --> 00:31:36,093
(dramatic music)

475
00:31:42,818 --> 00:31:43,652
[Coachman] Hold there.

476
00:31:43,653 --> 00:31:46,487
(Philippe grunts)

477
00:31:47,656 --> 00:31:48,656
Stop him!

478
00:31:49,616 --> 00:31:52,359
(dramatic music)

479
00:32:00,669 --> 00:32:02,877
Get him, you fool!

480
00:32:02,879 --> 00:32:05,622
(dramatic music)

481
00:32:29,573 --> 00:32:30,573
Stop!

482
00:32:32,367 --> 00:32:33,903
Not the face.

483
00:32:34,911 --> 00:32:36,573
Not the face.

484
00:32:36,580 --> 00:32:39,243
(ominous music)

485
00:32:46,548 --> 00:32:47,880
[Thug] Get in.

486
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,553
(seagulls calling)

487
00:33:01,563 --> 00:33:04,556
(suspenseful music)

488
00:33:46,525 --> 00:33:49,359
(Philippe grunts)

489
00:34:00,914 --> 00:34:03,702
(Philippe groans)

490
00:34:03,708 --> 00:34:06,371
(ominous music)

491
00:34:13,426 --> 00:34:15,509
[Philippe] No, I beg you, no!

492
00:34:15,512 --> 00:34:16,753
I have done nothing!

493
00:34:20,308 --> 00:34:21,594
Please, I beg you, no!

494
00:34:23,186 --> 00:34:24,186
No!

495
00:34:24,187 --> 00:34:25,187
No, no!

496
00:34:27,816 --> 00:34:30,559
(dramatic music)

497
00:34:39,327 --> 00:34:40,943
Listen to me.

498
00:34:40,954 --> 00:34:43,537
No one must be allowed
to see that prisoner

499
00:34:43,540 --> 00:34:45,532
without my express permission

500
00:34:47,294 --> 00:34:48,535
or on orders of the King.

501
00:34:49,629 --> 00:34:52,087
As for him,

502
00:34:53,842 --> 00:34:55,458
he must never leave this island.

503
00:34:57,846 --> 00:34:59,053
Understood?

504
00:34:59,055 --> 00:35:00,055
Yes, sir.

505
00:35:01,558 --> 00:35:04,471
(Philippe gasping)

506
00:35:04,477 --> 00:35:07,094
(ominous music)

507
00:35:21,870 --> 00:35:24,863
(Philippe grunting)

508
00:35:33,757 --> 00:35:36,750
(suspenseful music)

509
00:35:58,698 --> 00:36:01,691
(Philippe grunting)

510
00:36:08,917 --> 00:36:11,580
(ominous music)

511
00:36:25,684 --> 00:36:28,597
(Philippe panting)

512
00:36:36,778 --> 00:36:39,441
(ominous music)

513
00:37:02,721 --> 00:37:03,721
Why?

514
00:37:09,018 --> 00:37:10,018
Why?

515
00:37:13,648 --> 00:37:14,648
Why?

516
00:37:20,363 --> 00:37:23,106
(dramatic music)

517
00:37:58,276 --> 00:37:59,858
In the name of God,

518
00:38:01,321 --> 00:38:03,779
will no one tell me who I am?

519
00:38:05,283 --> 00:38:08,026
(dramatic music)

520
00:38:10,205 --> 00:38:13,198
(children shouting)

521
00:38:21,007 --> 00:38:22,714
I leave you here.

522
00:38:22,717 --> 00:38:25,084
Some business with the King's tailor

523
00:38:25,094 --> 00:38:28,462
for the royal name-day
celebrations at Vaux.

524
00:38:28,473 --> 00:38:31,466
It promises to be the event of the season.

525
00:38:31,476 --> 00:38:34,685
And you will attend this extravaganza?

526
00:38:34,687 --> 00:38:37,100
I wouldn't miss it for the world,

527
00:38:37,106 --> 00:38:38,267
and neither must you.

528
00:38:41,611 --> 00:38:43,443
[D'Artagnan] What are you up to?

529
00:38:45,824 --> 00:38:47,986
We make our move at Vaux.

530
00:38:49,244 --> 00:38:52,703
The King and all his court will
be assembled under one roof.

531
00:38:52,705 --> 00:38:53,705
Prepare Philippe.

532
00:38:54,707 --> 00:38:57,290
This order will release from the Bastille.

533
00:38:57,293 --> 00:39:01,537
Then, bring him to my
estate at Bercy, as planned.

534
00:39:04,467 --> 00:39:05,799
Drive on.

535
00:39:05,802 --> 00:39:08,795
(children shouting)

536
00:39:10,598 --> 00:39:12,590
Let you see the King's costume?

537
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:13,932
You must think me mad, monsieur.

538
00:39:13,935 --> 00:39:16,678
No one sees the King's
costumes before he wears them.

539
00:39:16,688 --> 00:39:18,270
That would ruin the surprise.

540
00:39:18,273 --> 00:39:19,980
Ah, but that is the point.

541
00:39:19,983 --> 00:39:23,977
You see, Monsieur Fouquet
wishes to surprise the King

542
00:39:23,987 --> 00:39:25,853
upon his entry into Vaux.

543
00:39:25,864 --> 00:39:26,696
How so?

544
00:39:26,698 --> 00:39:28,030
With a portrait of His Majesty

545
00:39:28,032 --> 00:39:32,697
wearing the costume you have
designed for the masked ball.

546
00:39:35,665 --> 00:39:38,328
one of France's finest young painters.

547
00:39:38,334 --> 00:39:40,496
Perhaps you've heard of him, Lebrun.

548
00:39:40,503 --> 00:39:42,119
Ah, Lebrun!

549
00:39:42,130 --> 00:39:43,462
A master of detail!

550
00:39:43,464 --> 00:39:45,296
Especially with costumes.

551
00:39:45,300 --> 00:39:48,418
The idea is to have a
model pose in the costume,

552
00:39:48,428 --> 00:39:51,091
and then paint it in the
features of the King.

553
00:39:51,097 --> 00:39:52,338
Admirable!

554
00:39:52,348 --> 00:39:54,010
A delicious surprise!

555
00:39:54,017 --> 00:39:58,352
And a treasure His Majesty
will doubtless prize forever.

556
00:39:58,354 --> 00:40:02,519
My finest creations,
preserved for posterity!

557
00:40:02,525 --> 00:40:05,689
Of course, if you're still opposed.

558
00:40:05,695 --> 00:40:09,234
Opposed, I, Percerin,
opposed to the King's pleasure?

559
00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:11,197
Claude, some wine for monsieur.

560
00:40:13,328 --> 00:40:14,328
One moment.

561
00:40:16,831 --> 00:40:20,950
I beg of you, monsieur,
he will surely suspect.

562
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,294
Then it will be both our necks!

563
00:40:24,297 --> 00:40:26,960
(snaps fingers)

564
00:40:29,177 --> 00:40:32,215
(coins rattle)

565
00:40:32,221 --> 00:40:34,008
And stop shaking.

566
00:40:35,183 --> 00:40:36,183
Monsieur.

567
00:40:38,144 --> 00:40:40,761
(ominous music)

568
00:40:58,957 --> 00:41:03,292
Of course, it is nothing
without the King himself.

569
00:41:06,464 --> 00:41:07,296
[D'Artagnan] Where did they take him?

570
00:41:07,298 --> 00:41:09,506
Monsieur Fouquet did not say.

571
00:41:09,509 --> 00:41:11,216
All right, all right, leave me!

572
00:41:11,219 --> 00:41:13,962
(dramatic music)

573
00:41:18,559 --> 00:41:21,051
Captain D'Artagnan.

574
00:41:21,062 --> 00:41:22,062
Captain!

575
00:41:26,818 --> 00:41:27,818
Who are you?

576
00:41:29,153 --> 00:41:30,985
My name is not important.

577
00:41:32,198 --> 00:41:33,198
But...

578
00:41:35,159 --> 00:41:36,159
What?

579
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,362
I know where they've taken him.

580
00:41:40,248 --> 00:41:41,248
Where?

581
00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:43,707
I can trust you.

582
00:41:45,211 --> 00:41:47,703
I know I can trust you.

583
00:41:47,714 --> 00:41:49,330
You tell me where he is,

584
00:41:50,466 --> 00:41:52,173
and you may save his life.

585
00:41:52,176 --> 00:41:53,176
Where?

586
00:41:56,723 --> 00:41:58,430
The Île Sainte-Marguerite!

587
00:41:58,433 --> 00:42:00,299
My god, we must get him out of there.

588
00:42:00,309 --> 00:42:03,473
It would take an army
to penetrate those walls.

589
00:42:03,479 --> 00:42:05,391
I only have a handful of men.

590
00:42:05,398 --> 00:42:07,981
Brave Musketeers too,
but not enough of them

591
00:42:07,984 --> 00:42:09,566
to take a fortress.

592
00:42:09,569 --> 00:42:12,562
But we can always try.

593
00:42:12,572 --> 00:42:16,156
Not by force, my friend, by cunning.

594
00:42:16,159 --> 00:42:18,742
(gentle music)

595
00:42:20,038 --> 00:42:24,123
(people chattering and laughing)

596
00:42:27,336 --> 00:42:29,919
(gentle music)

597
00:42:40,266 --> 00:42:41,507
Not now, Colbert!

598
00:42:41,517 --> 00:42:42,633
Can you not see we are busy?

599
00:42:42,643 --> 00:42:45,351
I sincerely regret this intrusion, Sire,

600
00:42:45,354 --> 00:42:47,311
but these matters will not wait.

601
00:42:48,608 --> 00:42:51,191
(gentle music)

602
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:01,697
For the Coleral to Madrid.

603
00:43:06,209 --> 00:43:09,498
For the ambassadors tonight, Sire.

604
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:10,961
Really, Colbert, you
could not have chosen

605
00:43:10,963 --> 00:43:13,376
a more inopportune moment.

606
00:43:13,382 --> 00:43:14,918
And the usual, Sire.

607
00:43:19,472 --> 00:43:21,304
The usual again, Sire.

608
00:43:23,142 --> 00:43:24,804
What have we here?

609
00:43:24,811 --> 00:43:28,600
Merely a release order
for a minor offender.

610
00:43:30,566 --> 00:43:32,057
You consider this essential?

611
00:43:32,068 --> 00:43:34,151
For your Name Day, Sire!

612
00:43:34,153 --> 00:43:37,442
This annual demonstration
of royal clemency

613
00:43:37,448 --> 00:43:41,283
helps to reaffirm your
subjects' devotion to you.

614
00:43:41,285 --> 00:43:44,653
They love you the more
for your great compassion.

615
00:43:45,915 --> 00:43:48,407
How shrewd you are, Colbert.

616
00:43:48,417 --> 00:43:49,703
Perhaps too shrewd?

617
00:43:53,589 --> 00:43:54,589
There.

618
00:43:55,424 --> 00:43:57,336
Now may we resume our fittings?

619
00:43:58,344 --> 00:43:59,344
Sire.

620
00:44:00,763 --> 00:44:03,676
Let us see the silk
brocade again, Percerin.

621
00:44:07,228 --> 00:44:08,969
(ominous music)

622
00:44:08,980 --> 00:44:11,142
[Percerin] Your Majesty?

623
00:44:12,150 --> 00:44:14,062
Nothing.

624
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,730
It is nothing, only.

625
00:44:17,155 --> 00:44:20,239
[Percerin] Only what, Your Majesty?

626
00:44:21,492 --> 00:44:24,610
Looking in the mirror just then,

627
00:44:24,620 --> 00:44:26,612
a coldness came over us,

628
00:44:28,875 --> 00:44:32,118
as though someone had
walked upon our grave.

629
00:44:33,838 --> 00:44:36,501
(ominous music)

630
00:45:00,281 --> 00:45:01,692
[Philippe] God, help me!

631
00:45:01,699 --> 00:45:03,531
Dear God, help.

632
00:45:03,534 --> 00:45:06,277
(dramatic music)

633
00:45:10,791 --> 00:45:12,908
Madness, madness,

634
00:45:12,919 --> 00:45:13,919
nightmares, nightmares.

635
00:45:16,172 --> 00:45:17,172
God!

636
00:45:19,425 --> 00:45:22,543
Bring me some sweet dreams.

637
00:45:22,553 --> 00:45:27,139
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams,
sweet dreams, sweet dreams.

638
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,136
Bring me some sweet dreams.

639
00:45:35,775 --> 00:45:36,775
Louise.

640
00:45:39,028 --> 00:45:41,020
I shall dream of Louise.

641
00:45:42,365 --> 00:45:46,359
I shall dream of Louise.

642
00:45:46,369 --> 00:45:47,369
Louise.

643
00:45:49,872 --> 00:45:51,283
Louise!

644
00:45:51,290 --> 00:45:53,998
(people chattering)

645
00:45:54,001 --> 00:45:55,958
[Man] Ah, you're losing your bets.

646
00:45:58,714 --> 00:46:00,876
On the right, of course.

647
00:46:02,260 --> 00:46:03,626
[Man] I put money on you.

648
00:46:03,636 --> 00:46:04,797
Come on!

649
00:46:04,804 --> 00:46:07,797
(people chattering)

650
00:46:15,147 --> 00:46:16,729
That's it, come on!

651
00:46:17,817 --> 00:46:20,275
Quite! (laughs)

652
00:46:20,278 --> 00:46:23,817
Sergeant, kill him! (laughs)

653
00:46:23,823 --> 00:46:25,735
Take care, monsieur!

654
00:46:25,741 --> 00:46:29,200
Lest the King observe your advances.

655
00:46:29,203 --> 00:46:32,446
(man laughs)

656
00:46:32,456 --> 00:46:33,456
Excuse me.

657
00:46:35,793 --> 00:46:37,284
[Man] Come on!

658
00:46:37,295 --> 00:46:41,380
(people chattering and laughing)

659
00:46:42,508 --> 00:46:44,875
Come on, cold line, kill him, kill him!

660
00:46:44,885 --> 00:46:45,885
Come on!

661
00:46:51,100 --> 00:46:52,100
And,

662
00:46:54,353 --> 00:46:56,515
thus you keep us both at bay.

663
00:46:56,522 --> 00:46:58,764
What a cunning vixen you have become

664
00:46:58,774 --> 00:47:00,310
for one

665
00:47:00,318 --> 00:47:02,150
so innocent.

666
00:47:02,153 --> 00:47:05,191
Necessity is my tutor, to my shame.

667
00:47:05,197 --> 00:47:08,361
Come, listen to the fox.

668
00:47:08,367 --> 00:47:11,531
By not yielding to my ardors,

669
00:47:12,705 --> 00:47:15,789
you saw your father thrown
into prison and ruined.

670
00:47:15,791 --> 00:47:19,956
By rejecting the King's,
you risk a fate far worse.

671
00:47:19,962 --> 00:47:23,205
A word to the wise, my pet, the next time

672
00:47:24,633 --> 00:47:26,420
the King offers you his favour.

673
00:47:33,976 --> 00:47:36,810
(Fouquet murmurs)

674
00:47:46,947 --> 00:47:50,190
D'Artagnan has been to
the Bastille for Philippe.

675
00:47:50,201 --> 00:47:51,908
D'Artagnan?

676
00:47:51,911 --> 00:47:55,575
Then he must know that his
pigeon has flown the coop.

677
00:47:55,581 --> 00:47:57,368
A pity he doesn't know where.

678
00:47:58,959 --> 00:48:01,292
He rides at this moment for the coast.

679
00:48:04,382 --> 00:48:07,546
Philippe must not be
allowed to reach Paris.

680
00:48:07,551 --> 00:48:09,338
(Philippe moans)

681
00:48:09,345 --> 00:48:10,836
[D'Artagnan] Gently, gently.

682
00:48:13,474 --> 00:48:15,887
(soft music)

683
00:48:24,985 --> 00:48:26,226
I know not who you are,

684
00:48:27,154 --> 00:48:28,941
or why you have come to help me.

685
00:48:28,948 --> 00:48:33,943
That can wait, I think.

686
00:48:34,286 --> 00:48:35,868
Are you strong enough to ride?

687
00:48:40,042 --> 00:48:41,453
Just a little light-headed.

688
00:48:43,295 --> 00:48:45,002
Get him ready, there
is no time to waste.

689
00:48:45,005 --> 00:48:46,086
I want to talk to you.

690
00:48:48,008 --> 00:48:49,590
Forgive me, monsieur.

691
00:48:49,593 --> 00:48:52,051
Never have I been forced
to do so cruel a deed.

692
00:48:53,472 --> 00:48:54,758
They gave you no choice.

693
00:48:56,058 --> 00:48:58,095
Take this, monsieur, so
that you may never forget

694
00:48:58,102 --> 00:48:59,138
what they did to you.

695
00:49:02,022 --> 00:49:03,022
God be with you.

696
00:49:04,650 --> 00:49:06,607
This man goes free as well.

697
00:49:06,610 --> 00:49:07,610
But, Monsieur Fouquet ordered...

698
00:49:07,611 --> 00:49:09,193
Do you question my authority?

699
00:49:09,196 --> 00:49:10,607
- Well, no, Captain.
- Well, then.

700
00:49:10,614 --> 00:49:12,401
Come, the boat is waiting.

701
00:49:15,119 --> 00:49:17,782
(ominous music)

702
00:50:00,581 --> 00:50:01,581
Fouquet.

703
00:50:03,209 --> 00:50:04,791
Fast!

704
00:50:04,793 --> 00:50:07,536
(dramatic music)

705
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,474
Can you get me in this without locking it?

706
00:50:20,476 --> 00:50:23,093
- Yes, sir.
- Good, give me your cloak.

707
00:50:23,103 --> 00:50:23,895
My cloak, why?

708
00:50:23,896 --> 00:50:25,104
And you get in this.

709
00:50:25,940 --> 00:50:28,683
(dramatic music)

710
00:50:50,172 --> 00:50:53,381
Now I shall play the Man in the Iron Mask

711
00:50:55,052 --> 00:50:56,463
and Fouquet the fool.

712
00:50:58,222 --> 00:51:00,965
(dramatic music)

713
00:51:16,991 --> 00:51:19,074
To the horses, to the horses!

714
00:51:24,290 --> 00:51:25,781
Will you be all right on foot?

715
00:51:25,791 --> 00:51:27,407
Aye, monsieur, I have a
wife and family waiting.

716
00:51:27,418 --> 00:51:29,034
My feet will fly me home!

717
00:51:29,044 --> 00:51:30,706
- Godspeed.
- Godspeed to you.

718
00:51:30,713 --> 00:51:31,794
(gun fires)

719
00:51:31,797 --> 00:51:34,665
(horse neighs)

720
00:51:34,675 --> 00:51:36,337
[D'Artagnan] My Lord, come!

721
00:51:36,343 --> 00:51:37,800
[Philippe] Go!

722
00:51:37,803 --> 00:51:40,546
(dramatic music)

723
00:52:33,984 --> 00:52:35,191
[D'Artagnan] You three, ride with him.

724
00:52:35,194 --> 00:52:37,151
The rest, follow me.

725
00:52:37,154 --> 00:52:39,897
(dramatic music)

726
00:52:51,460 --> 00:52:52,292
After them.

727
00:52:52,294 --> 00:52:53,294
I will deal with this.

728
00:52:54,296 --> 00:52:57,039
(dramatic music)

729
00:53:21,407 --> 00:53:24,195
(Philippe groans)

730
00:53:24,201 --> 00:53:26,944
(dramatic music)

731
00:53:29,665 --> 00:53:31,327
Are you hurt, sir?

732
00:53:35,587 --> 00:53:40,582
(gun fires)
(musketeer screams)

733
00:53:41,176 --> 00:53:45,386
[Man] Ride on, sir,
we'll hold them here.

734
00:53:45,389 --> 00:53:47,972
(horse snorts)

735
00:53:53,147 --> 00:53:55,139
(horse neighs)

736
00:53:55,149 --> 00:53:57,482
(gun fires)

737
00:54:01,572 --> 00:54:02,779
(gun fires)

738
00:54:02,781 --> 00:54:05,694
(horse neighs)

739
00:54:05,701 --> 00:54:08,444
(dramatic music)

740
00:54:14,877 --> 00:54:17,119
(D'Artagnan groans)

741
00:54:17,129 --> 00:54:20,122
[D'Artagnan] Your
sword, give me your sword.

742
00:54:20,132 --> 00:54:21,132
Now go!

743
00:54:23,469 --> 00:54:26,257
(D'Artagnan groans)

744
00:54:26,263 --> 00:54:28,755
(horse neighs)

745
00:54:28,766 --> 00:54:31,509
(dramatic music)

746
00:54:49,578 --> 00:54:52,161
(both panting)

747
00:54:56,293 --> 00:54:59,036
(dramatic music)

748
00:55:14,311 --> 00:55:17,270
(D'Artagnan groans)

749
00:55:22,611 --> 00:55:25,354
(dramatic music)

750
00:55:52,683 --> 00:55:56,097
The King commanded that
his life should be spared.

751
00:55:56,103 --> 00:55:57,765
Who is to tell the King?

752
00:55:57,771 --> 00:55:58,852
D'Artagnan?

753
00:55:58,856 --> 00:55:59,856
And lose his neck?

754
00:56:00,649 --> 00:56:04,188
You and I are the only two witnesses.

755
00:56:07,281 --> 00:56:08,692
There is still Colbert.

756
00:56:10,909 --> 00:56:11,909
Colbert.

757
00:56:14,204 --> 00:56:17,288
(waves splashing)

758
00:56:17,291 --> 00:56:20,034
(dramatic music)

759
00:56:33,348 --> 00:56:36,261
(seagulls calling)

760
00:56:50,699 --> 00:56:53,442
[Musketeer] Captain D'Artagnan!

761
00:56:55,245 --> 00:56:56,245
Captain!

762
00:57:23,607 --> 00:57:26,691
(D'Artagnan panting)

763
00:57:32,032 --> 00:57:35,116
(D'Artagnan retches)

764
00:57:43,085 --> 00:57:45,998
(seagulls calling)

765
00:57:50,133 --> 00:57:52,216
Thank God you're alive.

766
00:57:56,014 --> 00:57:57,014
Back there,

767
00:57:58,350 --> 00:58:00,342
you called me My Lord,

768
00:58:00,352 --> 00:58:03,140
and then risked your
own life to save mine.

769
00:58:05,732 --> 00:58:07,644
I must understand.

770
00:58:07,651 --> 00:58:10,064
What is it you want of me?

771
00:58:11,655 --> 00:58:13,863
(Philippe groans)

772
00:58:13,865 --> 00:58:15,151
Who am I?

773
00:58:16,702 --> 00:58:19,536
(Philippe groans)

774
00:58:22,749 --> 00:58:23,830
You, my prince,

775
00:58:25,794 --> 00:58:29,083
are the true king of France.

776
00:58:29,089 --> 00:58:31,832
(dramatic music)

777
00:58:40,142 --> 00:58:43,385
(church bells ringing)

778
00:58:52,362 --> 00:58:54,900
[Philippe] Is the
resemblance really so striking?

779
00:58:57,075 --> 00:58:58,657
You could be his twin.

780
00:58:58,660 --> 00:58:59,821
Difficult to believe.

781
00:59:01,580 --> 00:59:02,787
I've heard the tale of this twin,

782
00:59:02,789 --> 00:59:04,746
but they say the child died at birth.

783
00:59:04,750 --> 00:59:07,413
Still, such myths are enough

784
00:59:07,419 --> 00:59:08,455
to make you a threat,

785
00:59:08,462 --> 00:59:10,454
especially to ambitious men like Fouquet.

786
00:59:10,464 --> 00:59:11,580
A threat or an asset.

787
00:59:13,467 --> 00:59:15,800
(dog barks)

788
00:59:20,057 --> 00:59:23,801
D'Artagnan, is my chance
resemblance to the King

789
00:59:23,810 --> 00:59:25,927
all that lies behind these strange events?

790
00:59:31,735 --> 00:59:34,148
A simple yes from you is
all the reassurance I need.

791
00:59:34,154 --> 00:59:35,816
Trust me, please.

792
00:59:37,157 --> 00:59:41,151
What we do here is not for
personal gain, but for France.

793
00:59:42,204 --> 00:59:45,117
(knocking on door)

794
00:59:50,045 --> 00:59:51,286
Oh, thank you, Andre.

795
00:59:53,090 --> 00:59:54,456
Come now.

796
00:59:54,466 --> 00:59:56,253
It's time for you to dress.

797
00:59:57,094 --> 00:59:58,585
There's much for you to learn.

798
00:59:59,763 --> 01:00:00,763
At last!

799
01:00:01,723 --> 01:00:03,055
I'm tired of being the invalid.

800
01:00:03,058 --> 01:00:04,094
Good!

801
01:00:04,101 --> 01:00:06,263
For now I shall teach
you to play the King!

802
01:00:07,521 --> 01:00:10,355
(soft harp music)

803
01:00:10,357 --> 01:00:12,098
Again, and slowly.

804
01:00:12,109 --> 01:00:14,772
When you practise
slowly, you learn faster.

805
01:00:15,654 --> 01:00:19,022
And rhythmically, staccato. (groans)

806
01:00:21,827 --> 01:00:22,827
Go.

807
01:00:24,121 --> 01:00:25,121
Yes, again.

808
01:00:26,832 --> 01:00:29,745
(soft flute music)

809
01:00:43,515 --> 01:00:47,225
(gentle harp music)

810
01:00:47,227 --> 01:00:49,935
(dramatic music)

811
01:00:51,106 --> 01:00:52,938
Saint Louis Francis I.

812
01:00:53,817 --> 01:00:56,025
[Philippe] Left side of the family.

813
01:00:56,027 --> 01:00:56,903
[D'Artagnan] Henry III.

814
01:00:56,904 --> 01:00:58,144
[Philippe] Henry III was my grandfather.

815
01:00:58,155 --> 01:00:59,646
- Wrong.
- Oh, I'm sorry.

816
01:00:59,656 --> 01:01:01,943
- Your great grandfather.
- Yes, my great grandfather.

817
01:01:01,950 --> 01:01:02,784
Henry IV?

818
01:01:02,785 --> 01:01:04,275
Henry IV, my grandfather.

819
01:01:04,286 --> 01:01:05,286
Exactly.

820
01:01:06,955 --> 01:01:07,955
What is your mother's name?

821
01:01:07,956 --> 01:01:09,197
Anne of Austria.

822
01:01:09,207 --> 01:01:10,041
Grandmother.

823
01:01:10,042 --> 01:01:11,078
Marie de' Medici.

824
01:01:15,005 --> 01:01:16,587
[D'Artagnan] Maternal grandfather?

825
01:01:17,507 --> 01:01:19,840
- Philip III of Spain!
- Good.

826
01:01:23,054 --> 01:01:25,717
(both groaning)

827
01:01:29,352 --> 01:01:30,684
Paternal grandfather?

828
01:01:30,687 --> 01:01:32,053
Henry IV of France.
- Good!

829
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:34,521
Come on.

830
01:01:34,524 --> 01:01:37,267
(dramatic music)

831
01:01:45,243 --> 01:01:47,451
Parry high, then lunge.

832
01:01:47,454 --> 01:01:49,070
Go!

833
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:51,993
(Philippe screams)

834
01:01:58,298 --> 01:02:01,336
It's coming very nicely, very nicely.

835
01:02:01,343 --> 01:02:04,302
(Philippe laughs)

836
01:02:04,304 --> 01:02:05,465
One,

837
01:02:05,472 --> 01:02:07,213
two, chin up.

838
01:02:07,224 --> 01:02:08,681
Chin up.

839
01:02:08,683 --> 01:02:11,426
(dramatic music)

840
01:02:16,524 --> 01:02:18,891
- Louis XIII is my father.
- Yes.

841
01:02:18,902 --> 01:02:20,143
One,

842
01:02:20,153 --> 01:02:21,644
two,

843
01:02:21,655 --> 01:02:23,021
three,

844
01:02:23,031 --> 01:02:24,192
four.

845
01:02:24,199 --> 01:02:25,199
And one.

846
01:02:26,534 --> 01:02:29,277
(dramatic music)

847
01:02:32,999 --> 01:02:35,332
What is your date of birth?

848
01:02:35,335 --> 01:02:37,543
September 5th, 1638.

849
01:02:37,545 --> 01:02:38,545
Good!

850
01:02:39,381 --> 01:02:40,838
Two,

851
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:42,297
three,

852
01:02:42,300 --> 01:02:43,632
four, reverence.

853
01:02:44,678 --> 01:02:45,512
Very good, very good.

854
01:02:45,513 --> 01:02:46,429
And we do it all over again.

855
01:02:46,430 --> 01:02:47,886
Now, please Jacques.

856
01:02:50,684 --> 01:02:52,516
Your favourite pastime?

857
01:02:52,519 --> 01:02:53,635
Dancing and gambling.

858
01:02:59,067 --> 01:03:00,729
To whom do you liken yourself?

859
01:03:00,735 --> 01:03:01,896
The young god Apollo.

860
01:03:02,946 --> 01:03:05,188
(dramatic music)

861
01:03:05,198 --> 01:03:08,111
(Philippe screams)

862
01:03:10,787 --> 01:03:12,779
[D'Artagnan] Which
name flatters you most?

863
01:03:12,789 --> 01:03:13,789
The Sun King.

864
01:03:15,375 --> 01:03:18,209
(Philippe groans)

865
01:03:21,047 --> 01:03:22,788
[D'Artagnan] Yes, yes, yes, good!

866
01:03:24,926 --> 01:03:25,926
Good!

867
01:03:27,429 --> 01:03:29,216
Again, again, good, good, good, good!

868
01:03:31,683 --> 01:03:33,174
Up!

869
01:03:33,184 --> 01:03:34,925
Who was Cardinal Mazarin?

870
01:03:34,936 --> 01:03:35,936
My father's first minister.

871
01:03:35,937 --> 01:03:37,098
My mother's first lover.

872
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,056
[D'Artagnan] Monsieur Colbert?

873
01:03:40,066 --> 01:03:42,979
Minister of the
Interior, friend and ally.

874
01:03:42,986 --> 01:03:44,943
[D'Artagnan] Nicolas Fouquet?

875
01:03:44,946 --> 01:03:46,062
Minister of Finance.

876
01:03:51,703 --> 01:03:52,910
Marked man!

877
01:03:55,123 --> 01:03:56,910
Jacques, bring me that, will you?

878
01:03:58,752 --> 01:04:01,335
If you are to rule this great nation,

879
01:04:01,338 --> 01:04:03,125
you must learn restraint.

880
01:04:08,303 --> 01:04:09,419
Keep cool.

881
01:04:09,429 --> 01:04:10,965
In battle or in sports.

882
01:04:10,972 --> 01:04:13,339
Be angry, but in cold blood.

883
01:04:35,747 --> 01:04:36,581
[Fouquet] Wait here, my dear.

884
01:04:36,582 --> 01:04:38,118
I promise, I shall be brief.

885
01:04:40,543 --> 01:04:43,957
(ominous music)

886
01:04:43,963 --> 01:04:44,797
[D'Artagnan] Monsieur Fouquet,

887
01:04:44,798 --> 01:04:46,380
what an unexpected surprise!

888
01:04:46,383 --> 01:04:47,590
Please forgive the interruption,

889
01:04:47,592 --> 01:04:49,800
but the King did request
that I check his escort

890
01:04:49,803 --> 01:04:51,795
for the journey to my chateau.

891
01:04:51,805 --> 01:04:54,468
But, please don't let me
interrupt your exercise.

892
01:04:54,474 --> 01:04:57,638
Nonsense, it's a welcome
intrusion for an ageing swordsman.

893
01:04:57,644 --> 01:04:59,727
Thank you, Francois,
it'll be all for today.

894
01:04:59,729 --> 01:05:02,346
Come, we'll adjourn to the
salon for a glass of wine.

895
01:05:13,284 --> 01:05:16,027
(birds chirping)

896
01:05:49,112 --> 01:05:50,112
You!

897
01:05:51,531 --> 01:05:52,531
The Bastille.

898
01:05:54,617 --> 01:05:55,617
Hi.

899
01:05:57,370 --> 01:05:58,861
How is it you're here?

900
01:05:58,872 --> 01:06:02,240
By such means as neither you
nor I could ever comprehend.

901
01:06:02,250 --> 01:06:03,250
My father?

902
01:06:03,251 --> 01:06:05,368
Well, when last I saw him.

903
01:06:05,378 --> 01:06:06,378
Thank God!

904
01:06:07,172 --> 01:06:09,539
[Man] Hey, Jacqueline!

905
01:06:09,549 --> 01:06:10,756
You're in danger here.

906
01:06:12,677 --> 01:06:13,677
Come.

907
01:06:15,096 --> 01:06:17,839
(birds chirping)

908
01:06:23,646 --> 01:06:24,646
Louise!

909
01:06:29,277 --> 01:06:32,691
You remember my name?

910
01:06:32,697 --> 01:06:35,280
Everything about you.

911
01:06:35,283 --> 01:06:37,900
We met a moment, hardly longer.

912
01:06:37,911 --> 01:06:39,698
Yet you remember me.

913
01:06:39,704 --> 01:06:41,445
How could I forget?

914
01:06:42,916 --> 01:06:45,408
I made your father
tell me all about you.

915
01:06:45,418 --> 01:06:46,659
We spoke of nothing else.

916
01:06:47,837 --> 01:06:49,078
I even know where you cut your knee

917
01:06:49,088 --> 01:06:50,829
when you fell off a pony as a girl.

918
01:06:51,799 --> 01:06:53,756
It is as though I've
known you all my life.

919
01:06:56,054 --> 01:06:58,341
I am no longer the
child my father spoke of.

920
01:07:00,058 --> 01:07:01,674
What could you see in me now?

921
01:07:03,770 --> 01:07:06,308
(gentle music)

922
01:07:16,157 --> 01:07:17,819
How can I explain?

923
01:07:22,163 --> 01:07:23,904
Your finger.

924
01:07:23,915 --> 01:07:27,249
(soft melancholy music)

925
01:07:29,796 --> 01:07:31,753
I've dreamt of a moment such as this!

926
01:07:32,799 --> 01:07:33,799
I, too.

927
01:07:37,011 --> 01:07:39,253
Yet I dared not hope.

928
01:07:39,264 --> 01:07:42,473
What needed you to dream
with my double so near at hand?

929
01:07:43,393 --> 01:07:45,885
The two of you are worlds apart.

930
01:07:45,895 --> 01:07:47,727
I am revolted by your brother.

931
01:07:52,652 --> 01:07:53,652
What is it?

932
01:07:55,989 --> 01:07:56,989
Brother?

933
01:07:58,783 --> 01:07:59,783
The King!

934
01:08:02,620 --> 01:08:03,620
My brother?

935
01:08:07,875 --> 01:08:09,662
Surely, you knew.

936
01:08:09,669 --> 01:08:11,877
They say the resemblance
is purely chance.

937
01:08:13,339 --> 01:08:14,546
They deceive you then.

938
01:08:18,303 --> 01:08:19,303
I, his twin?

939
01:08:23,391 --> 01:08:27,135
You have a birthmark, do you not?

940
01:08:27,145 --> 01:08:28,511
God, it's true, then!

941
01:08:31,357 --> 01:08:33,690
Is there no one I can trust?

942
01:08:35,653 --> 01:08:36,653
No.

943
01:08:37,488 --> 01:08:38,488
You are a king.

944
01:08:44,662 --> 01:08:46,244
[Fouquet] Louise?

945
01:08:47,332 --> 01:08:48,332
Fouquet.

946
01:08:50,335 --> 01:08:54,124
My heart, my life are in these hands.

947
01:08:55,089 --> 01:08:58,082
Then both are safe and sound.

948
01:08:58,092 --> 01:09:00,334
[Fouquet] Louise!

949
01:09:00,345 --> 01:09:01,586
He must not find you.

950
01:09:03,306 --> 01:09:05,889
(gentle music)

951
01:09:11,564 --> 01:09:14,147
(minuet music)

952
01:10:47,577 --> 01:10:51,571
(crowd cheering and applauding)

953
01:11:01,299 --> 01:11:03,882
Our ballet has bored you, my dear?

954
01:11:03,885 --> 01:11:06,218
Your Majesty misconstrues.

955
01:11:07,138 --> 01:11:08,879
Give us your opinion, then.

956
01:11:11,976 --> 01:11:12,976
Very nice.

957
01:11:14,020 --> 01:11:15,431
Nice?

958
01:11:15,438 --> 01:11:17,270
We are overwhelmed by your praise.

959
01:11:18,483 --> 01:11:21,351
Yet still we fear you
prefer your silly rose

960
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:23,067
to our lavish ballet.

961
01:11:25,448 --> 01:11:27,656
Not at all, Sire.

962
01:11:27,658 --> 01:11:29,570
I merely enjoy its fragrance.

963
01:11:36,334 --> 01:11:39,498
You find a simple flower more
beautiful than our creation?

964
01:11:40,463 --> 01:11:42,500
Only in that its beauty is natural

965
01:11:43,508 --> 01:11:46,000
not painted on or contrived.

966
01:11:46,010 --> 01:11:48,673
(crowd murmurs)

967
01:11:52,225 --> 01:11:53,225
There!

968
01:11:54,352 --> 01:11:56,685
You see how transitory
your natural beauty is.

969
01:11:59,148 --> 01:12:01,561
Such beauty as Your
Majesty has just destroyed

970
01:12:02,568 --> 01:12:04,355
will endure in my heart forever!

971
01:12:05,655 --> 01:12:06,691
[Woman] Louise!

972
01:12:06,697 --> 01:12:09,531
(crowd murmuring)

973
01:12:19,919 --> 01:12:20,955
How is it, Fouquet?

974
01:12:21,963 --> 01:12:24,080
She spurns us, she scorns us.

975
01:12:25,341 --> 01:12:26,175
Yet, even now, we're more

976
01:12:26,176 --> 01:12:27,758
a prisoner of her charms than ever.

977
01:12:29,095 --> 01:12:32,008
You cannot allow this
to continue, madame.

978
01:12:32,014 --> 01:12:34,927
Each day this girl humiliates you more.

979
01:12:34,934 --> 01:12:38,894
Not the girl, madame,
but her suitor, your son,

980
01:12:38,896 --> 01:12:40,979
who brings disgrace upon our house.

981
01:12:42,525 --> 01:12:45,108
The only disgrace in
this household, madame,

982
01:12:45,111 --> 01:12:46,192
is our marriage!

983
01:12:47,363 --> 01:12:50,106
In God's name Louis, I am your wife!

984
01:12:50,116 --> 01:12:51,402
Wife?

985
01:12:51,409 --> 01:12:53,150
Nay, say rather burden.

986
01:12:54,787 --> 01:12:57,074
For the sake of France
and our beloved mother,

987
01:12:57,081 --> 01:12:58,617
we agreed to appease Spain

988
01:12:58,624 --> 01:13:00,866
and got this baggage in the bargain.

989
01:13:00,877 --> 01:13:02,834
[Anne] Louis, you are speaking

990
01:13:02,837 --> 01:13:04,328
to the mother of your children.

991
01:13:04,338 --> 01:13:06,830
Aye, and there's a miracle, madame!

992
01:13:06,841 --> 01:13:08,958
Far easier to span Rhodes' harbour

993
01:13:08,968 --> 01:13:11,506
than to husband this
mountain of sallow flesh.

994
01:13:12,597 --> 01:13:13,555
Oh come, my sweet!

995
01:13:13,556 --> 01:13:16,220
Before you leave,
let the world behold

996
01:13:16,225 --> 01:13:19,514
the special vision of ecstasy
that greets these royal eyes

997
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:21,887
each night when we retire.

998
01:13:23,274 --> 01:13:24,190
(Maria Theresa screams)

999
01:13:24,191 --> 01:13:26,854
(crowd gasping)

1000
01:13:28,154 --> 01:13:31,647
(Maria Theresa sobs)

1001
01:13:31,657 --> 01:13:33,239
May God forgive me.

1002
01:13:34,452 --> 01:13:36,819
If I could bear to see
my children fatherless,

1003
01:13:36,829 --> 01:13:39,947
I would wish him dead! (sobbing)

1004
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:48,463
(crows cawing)

1005
01:13:55,389 --> 01:13:56,925
[Philippe] You knew!

1006
01:13:56,933 --> 01:13:59,596
All this time you knew, and
yet you did not tell me!

1007
01:13:59,602 --> 01:14:01,264
Is your faith so shaken

1008
01:14:01,270 --> 01:14:03,353
that you cannot trust us any further?

1009
01:14:03,356 --> 01:14:04,972
If so, all is lost.

1010
01:14:09,153 --> 01:14:11,315
You saved my life and
rescued me from hell.

1011
01:14:11,322 --> 01:14:12,688
Whom else am I to trust?

1012
01:14:14,992 --> 01:14:16,483
Well, let me hear the plan.

1013
01:14:16,494 --> 01:14:19,407
Simply this, the overthrow of the King

1014
01:14:19,413 --> 01:14:21,621
during Fouquet's celebration at Vaux.

1015
01:14:23,125 --> 01:14:25,868
There is, however, for you, one condition.

1016
01:14:27,463 --> 01:14:28,795
What price a crown?

1017
01:14:28,798 --> 01:14:32,087
The transition of power
must be swift and smooth.

1018
01:14:32,927 --> 01:14:34,589
The world must never be aware

1019
01:14:34,595 --> 01:14:36,257
that any change has taken place.

1020
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:40,804
You must therefore agree
to rule as Louis XIV.

1021
01:14:47,316 --> 01:14:48,150
As Louis?

1022
01:14:48,151 --> 01:14:50,813
For the rest of your natural life.

1023
01:14:53,823 --> 01:14:55,985
As first-born, am I
not the rightful heir?

1024
01:14:55,992 --> 01:14:59,156
Right or wrong has
little to do with this.

1025
01:14:59,161 --> 01:15:01,369
It's a matter of political necessity.

1026
01:15:01,372 --> 01:15:04,331
France is too unstable now to risk a coup.

1027
01:15:07,837 --> 01:15:09,044
But what of me?

1028
01:15:10,756 --> 01:15:12,918
I am not Louis, I am Philippe!

1029
01:15:13,759 --> 01:15:15,466
Am I never to be myself?

1030
01:15:15,469 --> 01:15:16,469
What of me?

1031
01:15:19,015 --> 01:15:20,015
No.

1032
01:15:21,183 --> 01:15:24,597
I refuse to take any
part in such a travesty.

1033
01:15:24,603 --> 01:15:27,311
What of me, poor Philippe?

1034
01:15:28,149 --> 01:15:31,142
Sickens me to listen to such stuff.

1035
01:15:31,152 --> 01:15:34,020
These old eyes have
seen too much suffering,

1036
01:15:35,072 --> 01:15:38,110
while you, you lay abed in Burgundy,

1037
01:15:38,117 --> 01:15:40,780
snug and safe, far from Louis' reach!

1038
01:15:40,786 --> 01:15:43,324
Well, my pampered young prince,

1039
01:15:43,330 --> 01:15:45,413
there were others less fortunate.

1040
01:15:46,417 --> 01:15:49,660
Consider, for example, my
trusted servant, Andre.

1041
01:15:49,670 --> 01:15:53,459
Have you never wondered
at his constant silence?

1042
01:15:53,466 --> 01:15:55,082
He has no tongue.

1043
01:15:55,092 --> 01:15:56,628
They cut it out.

1044
01:15:56,635 --> 01:15:58,126
His crime?

1045
01:15:58,137 --> 01:16:02,006
This man, the only living
witness of your birth,

1046
01:16:02,016 --> 01:16:06,226
refused to divulge the
secret of your whereabouts.

1047
01:16:06,228 --> 01:16:10,222
But before you sever a
tongue, always try persuasion.

1048
01:16:16,906 --> 01:16:19,569
(ominous music)

1049
01:16:27,541 --> 01:16:29,828
There is a place in the distant Alps,

1050
01:16:29,835 --> 01:16:32,828
an estate, where the sun is soft,

1051
01:16:32,838 --> 01:16:36,923
the soil rich and the game plentiful.

1052
01:16:36,926 --> 01:16:38,133
You're free to retire there

1053
01:16:38,135 --> 01:16:41,378
and live out the rest of your
life in peace and tranquillity.

1054
01:16:41,388 --> 01:16:43,801
Your royal identity forever a secret,

1055
01:16:43,808 --> 01:16:47,347
your needs amply provided for.

1056
01:16:47,353 --> 01:16:50,687
No one will blame you, if
you choose the safer road.

1057
01:16:54,151 --> 01:16:55,151
Myself?

1058
01:16:57,113 --> 01:16:58,820
Or my inheritance?

1059
01:16:58,823 --> 01:17:02,237
Your birthright is the Crown of France.

1060
01:17:04,286 --> 01:17:07,279
(suspenseful music)

1061
01:17:22,012 --> 01:17:24,504
Did you know my father well, D'Artagnan?

1062
01:17:25,391 --> 01:17:26,723
Enough to love him ever.

1063
01:17:29,228 --> 01:17:30,764
He was a brave man?

1064
01:17:30,771 --> 01:17:34,264
There was no braver, gentler
man in all Christendom.

1065
01:17:34,275 --> 01:17:35,891
It is a pity you never knew him.

1066
01:17:38,529 --> 01:17:39,529
And I

1067
01:17:40,823 --> 01:17:42,189
am his first-born.

1068
01:17:44,326 --> 01:17:47,114
I am the rightful heir to his throne.

1069
01:17:47,121 --> 01:17:48,487
Claim it, then.

1070
01:17:48,497 --> 01:17:51,456
For a while you will have
to practise patience, true,

1071
01:17:51,458 --> 01:17:55,293
but in time your own personality
may emerge eventually,

1072
01:17:55,296 --> 01:17:59,290
blot out all trace of
Louis, but not at first.

1073
01:18:01,635 --> 01:18:06,630
[D'Artagnan] France could
be the envy of the world.

1074
01:18:06,807 --> 01:18:09,550
(dramatic music)

1075
01:18:15,191 --> 01:18:16,272
My friends,

1076
01:18:18,611 --> 01:18:19,611
I accept.

1077
01:18:23,324 --> 01:18:24,986
God save the King.

1078
01:18:26,785 --> 01:18:29,243
God save the King.

1079
01:18:29,246 --> 01:18:31,989
(dramatic music)

1080
01:18:39,215 --> 01:18:42,754
[D'Artagnan] Perhaps you
entered this chateau a servant.

1081
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:44,717
But, you will leave it a king.

1082
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:45,801
(Philippe groans)

1083
01:18:45,804 --> 01:18:47,761
If I live to leave,
watch what you're doing!

1084
01:18:47,765 --> 01:18:49,097
A 1,000 pardons!

1085
01:18:49,099 --> 01:18:51,182
One more stroke, I beg of you.

1086
01:18:51,185 --> 01:18:52,185
Thank you.

1087
01:18:55,231 --> 01:18:56,642
There.

1088
01:18:56,649 --> 01:18:58,891
Now, what do you think of that?

1089
01:19:02,655 --> 01:19:04,066
I still see Philippe.

1090
01:19:04,073 --> 01:19:07,157
One moment please, one moment.

1091
01:19:07,993 --> 01:19:10,110
The main feature.

1092
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:13,534
(hoofbeats clicking)

1093
01:19:13,540 --> 01:19:14,540
Now what do you see?

1094
01:19:15,793 --> 01:19:17,659
(chuckles) An ass.

1095
01:19:17,670 --> 01:19:18,831
Magnificent!

1096
01:19:20,172 --> 01:19:23,665
His Majesty will be
eternally in your debt,

1097
01:19:23,676 --> 01:19:28,046
Monsieur Colbert, I must
congratulate you, and,

1098
01:19:28,055 --> 01:19:29,216
also the artist.

1099
01:19:29,223 --> 01:19:32,512
Ah, but it was never my
intention to outshine my host.

1100
01:19:32,518 --> 01:19:35,511
The portrait is yours
to present to the King.

1101
01:19:35,521 --> 01:19:37,137
You are most generous, monsieur!

1102
01:19:37,147 --> 01:19:42,017
A token, in appreciation
of your kind hospitality.

1103
01:19:42,027 --> 01:19:46,772
I will present it to the
King this evening at the ball.

1104
01:19:47,741 --> 01:19:49,107
- Monsieur Fouquet!
- Hmm?

1105
01:19:55,249 --> 01:19:56,615
Conceal it till later.

1106
01:19:58,752 --> 01:20:00,163
Lest the King should happen upon it

1107
01:20:00,170 --> 01:20:01,706
and the surprise be spoiled.

1108
01:20:02,673 --> 01:20:07,088
Hang it in the apartments of
Mademoiselle de la Valliere.

1109
01:20:07,094 --> 01:20:10,053
She defends her privacy

1110
01:20:10,055 --> 01:20:13,298
as jealously as she does her virtue.

1111
01:20:13,309 --> 01:20:15,676
Meanwhile, I would take my leave.

1112
01:20:16,645 --> 01:20:17,806
Oh, once again, monsieur,

1113
01:20:17,813 --> 01:20:20,556
1,000 thanks for your generosity.

1114
01:20:23,193 --> 01:20:25,276
What poet of antiquity first warned us

1115
01:20:25,279 --> 01:20:27,896
to beware of Greeks bearing gifts?

1116
01:20:32,411 --> 01:20:33,411
Watch him.

1117
01:20:36,457 --> 01:20:38,744
A little almond paste
to whiten the skin,

1118
01:20:38,751 --> 01:20:41,209
a touch of rouge to cheeks and lips,

1119
01:20:41,211 --> 01:20:44,295
a bottle or two of sweet perfumes,

1120
01:20:44,298 --> 01:20:48,042
and the transformation will be complete.

1121
01:20:48,052 --> 01:20:50,965
(knocking on door)

1122
01:21:00,939 --> 01:21:01,939
Philippe.

1123
01:21:12,910 --> 01:21:14,196
This is the famous costume?

1124
01:21:14,203 --> 01:21:16,991
An exact replica of the one
His Majesty will be wearing.

1125
01:21:16,997 --> 01:21:18,329
How will you tell us apart?

1126
01:21:18,332 --> 01:21:21,370
I've taken the liberty of
having a subtle distinction

1127
01:21:21,377 --> 01:21:23,869
incorporated into the design.

1128
01:21:23,879 --> 01:21:27,088
Only we four will be
aware of the difference.

1129
01:21:27,091 --> 01:21:29,128
And Monsieur Fouquet, of course.

1130
01:21:29,134 --> 01:21:31,000
- Fouquet?
- Don't be alarmed,

1131
01:21:31,011 --> 01:21:33,799
everything has its purpose.

1132
01:21:33,806 --> 01:21:35,718
Now, come along, my boy.

1133
01:21:35,724 --> 01:21:38,637
Monsieur Fouquet is waiting
for you to dress him.

1134
01:21:38,644 --> 01:21:40,852
Remember, just as we rehearsed.

1135
01:21:40,854 --> 01:21:44,313
One false step and (makes
a throat-slitting sound).

1136
01:21:44,316 --> 01:21:45,316
Monsieur.

1137
01:21:47,027 --> 01:21:48,643
Now,

1138
01:21:48,654 --> 01:21:50,316
let us duplicate a king.

1139
01:21:52,658 --> 01:21:55,571
Lebrun's painting is excellent.

1140
01:21:55,577 --> 01:21:58,240
Why do you quibble?

1141
01:21:58,247 --> 01:22:00,785
I gather no one has noticed the flaw.

1142
01:22:00,791 --> 01:22:03,408
- Flaw?
- Nothing serious, of course.

1143
01:22:03,419 --> 01:22:04,580
Simply an oversight.

1144
01:22:05,629 --> 01:22:07,871
What manner of oversight?

1145
01:22:08,966 --> 01:22:12,255
Monsieur must promise not
to say a word to my master.

1146
01:22:12,261 --> 01:22:14,753
Monsieur Percerin would never forgive me.

1147
01:22:14,763 --> 01:22:18,427
I intended to present His
Majesty the painting tonight.

1148
01:22:18,434 --> 01:22:20,050
Is there something you
feel that I should know?

1149
01:22:20,060 --> 01:22:23,599
Simply that in making
up the duplicate costume,

1150
01:22:23,605 --> 01:22:26,313
there was an omission.

1151
01:22:26,316 --> 01:22:29,809
Duplicate costume,
what duplicate costume?

1152
01:22:29,820 --> 01:22:33,154
Why, the one Lebrun used
as a model for his painting.

1153
01:22:33,157 --> 01:22:35,945
You see, it has a purple sash.

1154
01:22:37,453 --> 01:22:38,534
Well?

1155
01:22:38,537 --> 01:22:42,952
Well, that is what the King
is wearing in the portrait!

1156
01:22:44,126 --> 01:22:45,042
A purple sash.

1157
01:22:45,043 --> 01:22:46,500
Careful.

1158
01:22:46,503 --> 01:22:47,835
Careful, I said.

1159
01:22:50,591 --> 01:22:51,877
I,

1160
01:22:51,884 --> 01:22:54,217
fail to see the significance.

1161
01:22:56,221 --> 01:22:57,181
But the King will be wearing

1162
01:22:57,182 --> 01:22:59,548
a white sash tonight, don't you see?

1163
01:23:01,268 --> 01:23:03,681
(suspenseful music)

1164
01:23:03,687 --> 01:23:05,223
White?

1165
01:23:05,230 --> 01:23:06,721
Exactly.

1166
01:23:06,732 --> 01:23:10,817
Monsieur Percerin changed his
design at the last minute.

1167
01:23:10,819 --> 01:23:13,186
Naturally, it was too late
to change the portrait.

1168
01:23:13,197 --> 01:23:16,156
I can only pray His Majesty
will not detect the oversight.

1169
01:23:17,075 --> 01:23:19,283
What has become of
this duplicate costume?

1170
01:23:20,579 --> 01:23:23,492
I believe Monsieur Colbert still has it.

1171
01:23:24,333 --> 01:23:27,326
(suspenseful music)

1172
01:23:42,684 --> 01:23:46,143
(gentle orchestral music)

1173
01:24:10,837 --> 01:24:11,998
Exquisite!

1174
01:24:12,005 --> 01:24:13,462
(servants gasping)

1175
01:24:13,465 --> 01:24:14,423
I'm sure the Queen will find

1176
01:24:14,424 --> 01:24:16,256
Your Majesty quite irresistible.

1177
01:24:16,260 --> 01:24:17,922
The Queen?

1178
01:24:17,928 --> 01:24:20,762
What an appalling prospect!
(chuckles)

1179
01:24:20,764 --> 01:24:21,722
(servants laughing)

1180
01:24:21,723 --> 01:24:23,885
It is Louise de la Valliere
whose praise we crave.

1181
01:24:23,892 --> 01:24:25,303
(all laughing)

1182
01:24:25,310 --> 01:24:27,097
Hurry, we will surprise her

1183
01:24:27,104 --> 01:24:28,970
with a private showing before the ball!

1184
01:24:31,066 --> 01:24:33,479
(soft music)

1185
01:24:45,581 --> 01:24:46,581
We go.

1186
01:24:48,292 --> 01:24:51,285
(suspenseful music)

1187
01:25:00,971 --> 01:25:02,963
[Philippe] D'Artagnan!

1188
01:25:05,183 --> 01:25:06,719
She is here.

1189
01:25:06,727 --> 01:25:08,593
[D'Artagnan] But not alone.

1190
01:25:08,604 --> 01:25:10,971
If I can't fool her maid,
I'll never fool the whole court.

1191
01:25:10,981 --> 01:25:13,064
Your point is well taken.

1192
01:25:13,066 --> 01:25:13,898
I must see her.

1193
01:25:13,900 --> 01:25:15,562
All right, all right, but hurry.

1194
01:25:15,569 --> 01:25:18,653
Fouquet will be in the King's
apartment at any moment now.

1195
01:25:18,655 --> 01:25:21,614
He must find you there, not Louis.

1196
01:25:21,617 --> 01:25:24,280
(ominous music)

1197
01:25:26,455 --> 01:25:29,698
It is indeed a tribute
to Monsieur Lebrun's art

1198
01:25:29,708 --> 01:25:32,041
that he is able to
improve upon perfection.

1199
01:25:32,044 --> 01:25:35,583
But then it does not speak,
the ultimate improvement.

1200
01:25:35,589 --> 01:25:37,455
(both laughing)

1201
01:25:37,466 --> 01:25:39,628
[Henriette] Improvement.

1202
01:25:42,596 --> 01:25:43,596
Your Majesty.

1203
01:25:46,683 --> 01:25:48,720
A thousand pardons, my dear.

1204
01:25:48,727 --> 01:25:50,684
I merely came to return this.

1205
01:25:57,361 --> 01:25:59,523
Henriette, please leave us.

1206
01:26:03,533 --> 01:26:06,867
(soft melancholy music)

1207
01:26:14,544 --> 01:26:15,378
What miracle is this?

1208
01:26:15,379 --> 01:26:17,712
I thought you were the King!

1209
01:26:18,715 --> 01:26:20,251
Soon, God willing.

1210
01:26:21,885 --> 01:26:24,377
It was foolish to come here.

1211
01:26:25,639 --> 01:26:27,221
It is maybe my last chance to see you.

1212
01:26:27,224 --> 01:26:28,556
Hear me out.

1213
01:26:30,435 --> 01:26:32,097
If tonight's adventure goes awry,

1214
01:26:33,313 --> 01:26:35,600
promise me that you will disavow our love.

1215
01:26:37,359 --> 01:26:39,396
I would rather' cut
the heart from my breast.

1216
01:26:39,403 --> 01:26:42,896
For your own safety, it is
vital that you never knew me.

1217
01:26:43,824 --> 01:26:45,861
I could not do it.

1218
01:26:45,867 --> 01:26:49,201
(soft melancholy music)

1219
01:26:50,622 --> 01:26:53,080
Oh, I love you.

1220
01:26:53,083 --> 01:26:56,417
(soft melancholy music)

1221
01:27:10,934 --> 01:27:14,393
If I am king before this night is through,

1222
01:27:16,606 --> 01:27:20,441
I must rule with Louis'
name, and not my own.

1223
01:27:22,028 --> 01:27:25,192
And with the Queen as
wife, and not Louise.

1224
01:27:27,409 --> 01:27:29,992
I could never openly proclaim our love.

1225
01:27:31,580 --> 01:27:34,823
Oh, Philippe, hold me, I'm so afraid.

1226
01:27:38,837 --> 01:27:41,250
(ominous music)

1227
01:27:41,256 --> 01:27:42,337
Your Majesty.

1228
01:27:43,884 --> 01:27:46,877
(suspenseful music)

1229
01:27:58,732 --> 01:28:00,189
What sort of prank is this?

1230
01:28:03,028 --> 01:28:05,611
Who dares impersonate the King?

1231
01:28:09,409 --> 01:28:12,402
(suspenseful music)

1232
01:28:14,456 --> 01:28:15,697
But of course, a hoax.

1233
01:28:16,541 --> 01:28:18,407
A jest prepared by our clever host.

1234
01:28:19,628 --> 01:28:20,709
Our apologies, dear Louise.

1235
01:28:20,712 --> 01:28:21,748
For a moment, we were

1236
01:28:23,673 --> 01:28:24,673
sincerely duped,

1237
01:28:28,470 --> 01:28:30,132
yet, much more than mere charade.

1238
01:28:32,891 --> 01:28:34,132
This impersonator.

1239
01:28:35,852 --> 01:28:38,811
(suspenseful music)

1240
01:28:40,232 --> 01:28:41,232
So

1241
01:28:43,151 --> 01:28:44,151
perfect.

1242
01:28:45,821 --> 01:28:48,234
(harp music)

1243
01:28:49,741 --> 01:28:50,902
So convincing.

1244
01:29:00,752 --> 01:29:01,752
You!

1245
01:29:08,301 --> 01:29:10,338
Will you not embrace me, brother?

1246
01:29:10,345 --> 01:29:13,338
(suspenseful music)

1247
01:29:22,440 --> 01:29:26,150
(thunder rumbling)

1248
01:29:26,152 --> 01:29:27,438
Guards, help me!

1249
01:29:28,655 --> 01:29:29,655
What?

1250
01:29:30,365 --> 01:29:31,365
Help me!

1251
01:29:38,456 --> 01:29:41,324
Not me, you fool, there is the impostor.

1252
01:29:41,334 --> 01:29:42,450
[Fouquet] What?

1253
01:29:42,460 --> 01:29:43,792
Treason and conspiracy.

1254
01:29:43,795 --> 01:29:45,457
He dares to impersonate the King.

1255
01:29:46,631 --> 01:29:48,588
Do not listen to this
treachery, Fouquet!

1256
01:29:48,592 --> 01:29:50,003
There is the usurper, take him!

1257
01:29:50,010 --> 01:29:51,626
Here's your man.

1258
01:29:51,636 --> 01:29:53,047
Fool, are you blind?

1259
01:29:54,222 --> 01:29:55,713
D'Artagnan speaks the truth.

1260
01:29:58,393 --> 01:30:01,261
(thunder rumbling)

1261
01:30:04,608 --> 01:30:05,608
Duval.

1262
01:30:09,696 --> 01:30:10,696
Arrest him.

1263
01:30:13,033 --> 01:30:15,741
(thunder rumbling)

1264
01:30:15,744 --> 01:30:17,235
What are saying?

1265
01:30:20,749 --> 01:30:22,081
This is madness!

1266
01:30:23,793 --> 01:30:24,793
[Fouquet] Arrest him.

1267
01:30:24,794 --> 01:30:26,581
But surely, you must be mistaken.

1268
01:30:26,588 --> 01:30:27,749
Here is your man!

1269
01:30:28,673 --> 01:30:30,630
[Louis] I am Louis!

1270
01:30:30,634 --> 01:30:31,715
I am Louis!

1271
01:30:31,718 --> 01:30:33,300
I am your sovereign!

1272
01:30:33,303 --> 01:30:35,010
Silence him!

1273
01:30:35,013 --> 01:30:37,096
- I am...
- Silence him.

1274
01:30:39,267 --> 01:30:43,011
Forgive me, Sire, for
having been so blind.

1275
01:30:45,398 --> 01:30:50,393
Your Majesty,

1276
01:30:52,489 --> 01:30:54,151
what is your desire?

1277
01:30:56,618 --> 01:31:00,953
Has not the King already once
decreed his brother's fate?

1278
01:31:01,831 --> 01:31:04,744
(thunder rumbling)

1279
01:31:10,048 --> 01:31:11,048
So.

1280
01:31:12,550 --> 01:31:13,836
Let it stand.

1281
01:31:18,306 --> 01:31:22,641
So, I know of the plot that
was perpetrated against you.

1282
01:31:22,644 --> 01:31:26,103
And I promise that there
shall be retribution.

1283
01:31:27,399 --> 01:31:28,399
Indeed.

1284
01:31:34,990 --> 01:31:35,990
Majesty.

1285
01:31:38,243 --> 01:31:39,734
(joyful music)

1286
01:31:39,744 --> 01:31:40,905
Ah, the ball.

1287
01:31:44,374 --> 01:31:46,832
We shall proceed as if
none of this had happened.

1288
01:31:48,128 --> 01:31:50,415
As for you, Captain.

1289
01:31:50,422 --> 01:31:51,296
Majesty.

1290
01:31:51,297 --> 01:31:53,539
We would feel more
secure with you at hand.

1291
01:31:53,550 --> 01:31:55,507
Do not leave our side tonight.

1292
01:31:55,510 --> 01:31:57,172
I am your servant, Sire.

1293
01:31:58,096 --> 01:31:59,096
My dear.

1294
01:32:01,224 --> 01:32:03,011
Until later.

1295
01:32:03,018 --> 01:32:05,601
(gentle music)

1296
01:32:07,939 --> 01:32:09,430
[Louis] Fouquet!

1297
01:32:10,608 --> 01:32:13,225
Return him to the Île Sainte-Marguerite,

1298
01:32:13,236 --> 01:32:15,353
as ordered by the King.

1299
01:32:15,363 --> 01:32:18,197
(Louis screaming)

1300
01:32:19,242 --> 01:32:21,905
(staff banging)

1301
01:32:23,663 --> 01:32:25,700
His Sublime Majesty,

1302
01:32:25,707 --> 01:32:27,869
Grand Monarch of France,

1303
01:32:27,876 --> 01:32:28,876
Louis XIV!

1304
01:32:30,295 --> 01:32:32,878
(solemn music)

1305
01:33:10,877 --> 01:33:12,118
Your Majesty.

1306
01:33:13,254 --> 01:33:14,214
Monsieur Fouquet.

1307
01:33:14,215 --> 01:33:16,797
Please accept this occasion

1308
01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:19,463
as token of my deep devotion

1309
01:33:20,303 --> 01:33:24,718
to continue in your service
need be my only reward.

1310
01:33:41,282 --> 01:33:42,282
Majesty.

1311
01:33:44,410 --> 01:33:47,323
(crowd chattering)

1312
01:33:57,340 --> 01:33:58,340
Mother.

1313
01:33:59,342 --> 01:34:00,583
Your Majesty.

1314
01:34:08,476 --> 01:34:09,476
My son?

1315
01:34:13,189 --> 01:34:17,103
I have never seen,

1316
01:34:17,110 --> 01:34:19,352
I have never seen you
looking more beautiful.

1317
01:34:22,365 --> 01:34:23,446
Why, Louis.

1318
01:34:43,678 --> 01:34:44,678
Madame.

1319
01:34:58,067 --> 01:35:00,650
(gentle music)

1320
01:35:17,670 --> 01:35:21,755
You're not yourself
this evening, my husband.

1321
01:35:21,758 --> 01:35:24,250
I am as constant as the sun.

1322
01:35:28,389 --> 01:35:31,177
[Maria Theresa] Your
dancing is misdirected.

1323
01:35:31,184 --> 01:35:33,301
You dance as always, my dear.

1324
01:35:39,609 --> 01:35:42,147
If my eyes did not tell me otherwise,

1325
01:35:42,153 --> 01:35:44,486
I would think the man
with whom I am dancing

1326
01:35:45,823 --> 01:35:47,485
is not my husband. (exclaims)

1327
01:35:47,492 --> 01:35:48,733
1,000 pardons, my dear.

1328
01:35:50,870 --> 01:35:52,031
If not your husband,

1329
01:35:53,498 --> 01:35:54,498
who might he be?

1330
01:35:55,959 --> 01:35:56,959
An impostor.

1331
01:36:01,589 --> 01:36:04,548
[Philippe] Were that the
case, surely you would be

1332
01:36:05,927 --> 01:36:06,927
alarmed, madame.

1333
01:36:11,266 --> 01:36:12,546
I am rarely taken by surprise.

1334
01:36:14,185 --> 01:36:16,552
And unlike your mother, I can afford

1335
01:36:18,690 --> 01:36:20,352
the best informants.

1336
01:36:22,068 --> 01:36:25,061
(soft minuet music)

1337
01:36:30,785 --> 01:36:35,496
It follows then, that you
would be ready for this usurper.

1338
01:36:35,498 --> 01:36:36,498
Most likely.

1339
01:36:38,668 --> 01:36:40,751
Ready to expose him?

1340
01:36:40,753 --> 01:36:42,335
I would have little to gain.

1341
01:36:42,338 --> 01:36:43,499
Except, perhaps,

1342
01:36:44,716 --> 01:36:45,716
your return

1343
01:36:46,634 --> 01:36:47,634
to my bedchamber,

1344
01:36:49,262 --> 01:36:50,878
little gain.

1345
01:36:50,888 --> 01:36:54,632
Better your own husband,
madame, than some total stranger.

1346
01:36:59,564 --> 01:37:00,600
Quite the contrary.

1347
01:37:06,029 --> 01:37:08,567
Am I to understand
that you would not betray

1348
01:37:08,573 --> 01:37:10,109
this phantom impostor?

1349
01:37:16,456 --> 01:37:18,743
Let us say this usurper could guarantee

1350
01:37:18,750 --> 01:37:21,834
that you would be no less
the Queen than you are now.

1351
01:37:26,424 --> 01:37:31,340
But I would have to be sure
that my children were secure,

1352
01:37:32,221 --> 01:37:35,635
and that they might maintain their right

1353
01:37:35,641 --> 01:37:38,349
to the succession of the throne.

1354
01:37:40,480 --> 01:37:43,188
Would you take the word of such a man?

1355
01:37:43,191 --> 01:37:47,310
If he did not keep his
word, he would lose his head.

1356
01:37:51,824 --> 01:37:55,909
As you would have to hold
your tongue or lose yours.

1357
01:37:55,912 --> 01:37:56,912
Just so.

1358
01:37:59,082 --> 01:38:00,118
But this is,

1359
01:38:00,124 --> 01:38:01,331
this is absurdity.

1360
01:38:02,668 --> 01:38:05,957
I intend to enjoy a
long and fruitful reign.

1361
01:38:07,715 --> 01:38:09,707
And so you will, Sire.

1362
01:38:10,635 --> 01:38:11,635
With my

1363
01:38:12,553 --> 01:38:13,553
blessing.

1364
01:38:14,263 --> 01:38:16,846
(gentle music)

1365
01:38:18,810 --> 01:38:22,724
If you would excuse me,
I should wish to retire.

1366
01:38:22,730 --> 01:38:26,474
I do not desire to spoil
Your Majesty's pleasure.

1367
01:38:29,195 --> 01:38:30,561
Good night, then, madame.

1368
01:38:32,031 --> 01:38:34,398
God be with you.

1369
01:38:34,409 --> 01:38:36,492
God be with you, Louis.

1370
01:38:53,386 --> 01:38:56,379
(people chattering)

1371
01:39:06,983 --> 01:39:10,147
(gentle minuet music)

1372
01:39:53,696 --> 01:39:55,358
Congratulations, monsieur!

1373
01:39:55,364 --> 01:39:57,947
Your ball seems a great success.

1374
01:39:57,950 --> 01:40:00,988
More than you imagine, I'll wager.

1375
01:40:00,995 --> 01:40:03,078
Less than you imagine, I'll wager.

1376
01:40:03,080 --> 01:40:06,164
Colbert, one of your
problems has always been

1377
01:40:06,167 --> 01:40:09,285
that you tend to take your bows

1378
01:40:09,295 --> 01:40:11,662
before the final curtain falls.

1379
01:40:11,672 --> 01:40:14,164
Your trouble, Fouquet,
is you never realise

1380
01:40:14,175 --> 01:40:16,087
when the play is over.

1381
01:40:16,093 --> 01:40:19,211
You see, tomorrow, when His
Majesty has departed from Paris,

1382
01:40:19,222 --> 01:40:21,430
you'll be arrested on the charge

1383
01:40:21,432 --> 01:40:24,391
of misappropriation of state funds.

1384
01:40:24,393 --> 01:40:29,354
Chevalier Duval will be taken
into custody as an accessory.

1385
01:40:30,274 --> 01:40:31,731
My,

1386
01:40:31,734 --> 01:40:33,066
dear Colbert,

1387
01:40:33,069 --> 01:40:37,655
I hate to inform you that
your plot to depose the King

1388
01:40:37,657 --> 01:40:41,196
and replace him with his
brother Philippe upon the throne

1389
01:40:41,202 --> 01:40:42,202
has been foiled.

1390
01:40:43,788 --> 01:40:44,788
That

1391
01:40:45,540 --> 01:40:46,621
is Louis XIV.

1392
01:40:47,625 --> 01:40:50,789
(gentle minuet music)

1393
01:40:55,132 --> 01:40:57,966
On that point at least we can agree.

1394
01:40:57,969 --> 01:40:58,969
In which case,

1395
01:41:00,304 --> 01:41:04,048
you will be the one to be
arrested tomorrow morning

1396
01:41:04,058 --> 01:41:08,849
on charges of conspiracy and treason.

1397
01:41:08,854 --> 01:41:11,471
Poor Fouquet, look at them again.

1398
01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:17,020
What has become of de la
Valliere's revulsion for the King?

1399
01:41:17,029 --> 01:41:20,147
Or could he suddenly
have changed overnight?

1400
01:41:21,075 --> 01:41:24,239
(gentle minuet music)

1401
01:41:33,045 --> 01:41:34,661
Oh, come now,

1402
01:41:34,672 --> 01:41:38,336
she won't be the first
reluctant maid that he has

1403
01:41:40,386 --> 01:41:41,843
won over.

1404
01:41:41,846 --> 01:41:44,429
My, we do need convincing, do we?

1405
01:41:46,058 --> 01:41:47,845
Well, perhaps, a reminder of a certain

1406
01:41:47,852 --> 01:41:51,516
young apprentice tailor in my employ.

1407
01:41:51,522 --> 01:41:54,686
(gentle minuet music)

1408
01:42:06,454 --> 01:42:07,661
The sashes.

1409
01:42:07,663 --> 01:42:10,280
All that trouble,
and you never noticed.

1410
01:42:15,046 --> 01:42:15,920
Duval.

1411
01:42:15,921 --> 01:42:16,881
Too late.

1412
01:42:16,882 --> 01:42:21,546
They've already left for
Sainte-Marguerite on your orders.

1413
01:42:27,099 --> 01:42:28,099
The King!

1414
01:42:28,976 --> 01:42:31,389
The King, Fouquet, is dead.

1415
01:42:32,772 --> 01:42:35,059
Long live the King!

1416
01:42:35,066 --> 01:42:37,308
[All] Long live the King!

1417
01:42:38,444 --> 01:42:41,608
(gentle minuet music)

1418
01:42:47,244 --> 01:42:50,703
(waves splashing)

1419
01:42:50,706 --> 01:42:53,449
(dramatic music)

1420
01:42:57,088 --> 01:42:58,579
[Duval] Listen well, jailer.

1421
01:42:59,465 --> 01:43:01,047
These are His Majesty's orders,

1422
01:43:01,050 --> 01:43:03,417
therefore they must be
obeyed without question.

1423
01:43:05,429 --> 01:43:07,216
The prisoner is quite mad.

1424
01:43:07,223 --> 01:43:08,259
[Louis] I am Louis!

1425
01:43:08,265 --> 01:43:10,006
[Duval] He believes
himself to be the King.

1426
01:43:10,017 --> 01:43:10,851
[Louis] I am King!

1427
01:43:10,852 --> 01:43:12,638
[Duval] He is, therefore,
most dangerous

1428
01:43:12,645 --> 01:43:15,058
and must never leave this cell.

1429
01:43:17,274 --> 01:43:18,890
[Louis] Louis.

1430
01:43:18,901 --> 01:43:20,858
[Duval] No one is to
visit him, save you.

1431
01:43:20,861 --> 01:43:24,320
No one is to speak to him, including you.

1432
01:43:25,491 --> 01:43:28,984
And when, one day, his
food remains uneaten,

1433
01:43:28,994 --> 01:43:31,577
you will provide mortar and bricks,

1434
01:43:31,580 --> 01:43:34,618
and seal in the entry to this cell.

1435
01:43:34,625 --> 01:43:38,995
Then, send word to Paris
that the Man in the Iron Mask

1436
01:43:39,004 --> 01:43:42,088
lives no more.
- Louis!

1437
01:43:42,091 --> 01:43:43,091
Louis!

1438
01:43:44,051 --> 01:43:46,088
Louis!

1439
01:43:47,346 --> 01:43:50,089
(dramatic music)
