Original subtitles

As every year, the Dukes of De Cambyse used to celebrate

the coming of spring at their castle.

But that year they had one more reason to celebrate

a few months before young Duke Philippe had married to the beautiful Christine,

daughter of a humble fisherman.

The fire-eater! The fire-eater!

The fire-eater, ladies and gentlemen!

Bravo! Bravo!

He's good.

Look at that little monkey! Hey little monkey!

- Come on, catch it! - That's what I'm trying to do!

Give it to me!

Dany, come back! Don't get too close to the tower! Come back!

- You must go after them! - Why?

The ghost of the Duchess of De Cambyse haunts that tower. - Really?

Everyone knows that and a few have even seen her.

- She was buried alive in there by her husband. - Why?

- We don't know why. When the Duke found out she was innocent

and went into the tower to free her she was already dead.

Only her ghost was left.

100 yers have passed but during the long winter nights

you can still hear the ghost scream and cry for help.

The race is about to begin. Let's go!

Morel! Show us the champion!

He will be the prize for the winner.

Not you, Gael. You're not in good health yet.

I'm begging you Philippe, let me compete

If you really wish... - Thank you!

And you Ferdinand? Come down and defend the family name!

What if the others are all eliminated?

We'll be the only ones left, two brothers opposed as enemies.

Rivals in a game, not enemies!

Let's go! Come with us!

At court even cheerfulness is different.

Here it's so hectic it goes straight to the heart.

And I can enjoy it only because of our friendship.

If it wasn't for you Philippe's friends would still be looking down on me.

Your qualities won me over. Nothing else.

Come here Odette, don't stay all by yourself.

Odette is our intendant's daughter. She has a passion for music.

I could listen to her play for hours.

I hope I will have the same privilege before I leave.

It will be a honor for me, princess.

...no one could really tell she's a fisherman's daughter.

But by marrying her Philippe betrayed his own blood.

- The purest of all France. - Maybe a little too pure.

Gael has a sick body and Ferdinand has the eyes of a madman.

Even the best fields have to be sown.

Maybe you're right, but if it were not for Dominique de Fontenoy

I wouldn't be here today. This smell of fish is so nauseating! - Absolutely!

Amusing, isn't it?

You look worried.

I hoped it didn't show.

I was right then. You know you can count on my advice.

My brother Philippe has changed a lot since he got married.

He squanders the heritage our father left us,

in the most absurd ways.

Yes, I've heard he's very generous with his people.

The peasant must give to his Lord, not the opposite. If I was in his place...

My dear Ferdinand I'm afraid the times are changing.

And personally I kind of agree with him...

Yeah, like everyone else...

Will you join us for the hunt tomorrow?

No, I'm too old to compete with you young ones.

Speak freely, my young friend.

Milord

You were my father's best friend

And we all owe you a debt of gratitude.

I'm sorry. Please Gael, continue.

My greatest hope is that someday

you'll let me have your daughter's hand.

When the time comes I'll let her decide about her own future.

- Milord... - That's the least I can do for all the joy she brings to me.

- You were great Odette. - Thank you.

The Duchess will ride Bellerofonte and the princess of Fontenoy Liborio.

All right? See you soon.

Is he always so nervous?

No, he never acted like this before...

maybe he's just feeling spring coming.

They smelled something!

Help!

Christine!

Go after her!

Let's go!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Philippe!

Try to hold on to it!

- I can't! - Hold on to it!

Christine... My love...

Come on, help me out!

Christine...

My dear...

You found him at last!

Yes, he was down in the valley.

Look here, he's wounded.

The duchess weight was causing him pain.

What are you trying to say?

I think he was stabbed.

Somebody wanted the horse to go mad...

Shut up imbecile! You probably did it while saddling him!

Who might have wanted the duchess dead?

Nothing serious, just a few bruises.

The duchess is fine.

- And the baby too. - The baby? Whose baby?

So you didn't know?

That's some news!

I wanted to be sure before telling you... now you know.

Oh my god... I was so scared of losing you...

God didn't want to separate us.

Christine, I didn't know a man could feel as happy as I am now.

Such a joy for me... I've helped to give birth to all the De Cambyse boys.

Excuse me.

- I have to talk to you. - Me too Ferdinand.

- The bath will help you relax. - You're so kind Odette.

I'm so happy for you.

I hope someday you will find too a man that will make you happy.

A man who will teach you love, and life...

Here's the soap Duchess.

Thank you.

I've already find that man.

As soon as I'm of age I will join a convent. I will dedicate my life to God.

I will miss you Dominique.

You're the only to know yet.

I don't want to give my father such a worry before the time has come.

- How's the water? - It's Fine. - Feeling better now? - Yes.

I'm so glad you've been here at the castle Dominique.

The pleasure is mine Christine.

I'm sorry about leaving but we really have to go home now.

I will write to you but promise me you will write back.

I promise.

- And don't go horse riding. - See you soon darling.

- Have a nice trip Dominique. - Thank you.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye. - Princess, I... - Goodbye Gael.

We spent such wonderful days.

Oh Philippe!

Why this present?

It's a gift from the future Duke of de Cambyse. With all our love.

Philippe, you're making my life too beautiful... and too easy.

But I love you Christine! I love you!

- They're going to hear us! - I don't care.

I want everybody to know how much I love you!

Then you must make me another present.

Ask me the world and I'll give it to you.

It's not that much... but this necklace...

when I see our peasants living in such poverty...

like I used to. We must help them. It will bring us good luck, I'm sure of it.

Yes, but the necklace is for you.

I promise I will take care of your poor friends as well, all right?

Is that all?

My wife can't work unfortunately... that's all I can give.

Grandis, we don't care about your personal matters.

- What's wrong with your wife? - She's expecting a child and she has to rest.

You will pay the toll another time, Grandis. Take back your money.

Thank you. Thank you.

- Did you get hurt? - No.

Why are you crying then?

My master will beat me once he'll know I delivered dirty knives at the castle.

Don't be silly... it was my fault.

Now Odette will take the knives to the kitchen and everything will be alright.

- What's your name? - Dany.

Here, take this

as a compensation for your little scare.

You can make at least 10 ducatis out of it

and buy yourself a lot of new clothes.

It's the most beautiful thing I've seen in my life.

I won't sell it even if I'm starving.

Go now.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye Dany.

- Christine. - Ah, it's you.

- I need your help. - It will be a pleasure for me, Gael.

There's this young, beautiful dame.

I dream of her all the time.

If I can't have her hand I think I'm going to die.

Poor Gael...who is this beauty inhabiting your dreams?

And what can I do to cheer you up a little?

You can plead with her on my behalf.

She's your best friend.

Dominique de Fontenoy.

Gael, I love you like a brother.

And I'm deeply saddened to say this...

but you must forget about princess de Fontenoy.

Why? Does she love someone else?

No, it's not that.

Then why can't you intercede with her.

- It would be useless. - Christine, I'm not... - Please, do not insist.

Spare me an answer I can't give you.

You really must hate me.

Gael...

So she refused you her help...

Listen... you must meet Prince de Fontanoy.

I must know why Dominique doesn't want to marry me.

Maybe you could just figure it out by yourself.

I want to know the truth. Understood?

All right, I've never refused you a favor.

- I will go at the Fontanoy castle. - Please, go immediately.

I knew I would find you here.

No need to rob me,

I came here to give you this purse full of money.

And that's just an advance payment...

if you'll do what I say.

Your Excellency.

Don't bother... you can go to bed.

- You've been quick Ferdinand. - Indeed, I rode like the wind.

- Well? - I had better not go.

Did you talk to the prince?

You asked for this humiliation. I love you too much to pity you.

You won't be his son-in-law.

How dare he refuse a De Cambyse?

You're not the one being rejected.

Not me? Then who?

Come on. Speak.

Haven't you figured it out yet?

The obstacle standing between you and Dominique is Christine.

Christine...

Do you really think de Fontenoy wants to have any connection

with a family that mixed its own blood with the plebs?

And how can you expect to become son-in-law of a prince...

you, cadet of a brother who fell for such a floosie...

So this woman...

not only she tainted the de Cambyse name

but she also ruined my future.

Our future, Gael.

You're forgetting that Christine is expecting Philippe's child...

a bastard son that will inherit all the family properties.

There will be nothing left for us.

We'll just have to live in the shadow of such a dishonor.

Or we might just follow the tradition and go into exile...

you in a monastery and me in the army.

I was right not to trust that little meddler.

Now I'm going to show her all my hate...

No, Gael, you're not a good hater. I am.

I would sweep away anyone standing on my path, without regret.

Hate would tell me the way, the punishment to choose.

I'd want blood for my tears and a life for an insult.

But you will forget Gael.

I don't want to forget, Ferdinand.

I want revenge. Revenge.

There's a way to get your revenge, as well as Dominique's hand.

How?

You must kill Christine.

You're crazy.

No, not at this price.

The de Cambyse name must not be stained with blood.

I'll never turn into a murderer.

- I don't want to die a violent death. - Don't panic, Gael.

Let's have a talk.

Look at her. Doesn't she look like a prince's daughter?

Yes, luckily she's nothing like her father.

Even though you only think about money, like a real prince.

I only do it for her, to give her all the things I couldn't give to her mother

One day Odette will be a mistress.

I hope so.

I must congratulate you Odette.

Your grace and musical taste are unparalleled.

So I owe your visit to my daughter's music?

But please, come in.

To be honest we are here to talk to you Morel.

About a very private matter.

- Say goodbye and go to bed. - Yes, go to bed.

We need the help of a trusted man. Of a friend like you, Morel.

I'm flattered by your words, lord Ferdinand... goodnight, sweetie.

Goodnight. Gentlemen.

So, dear Morel... let's get down to business.

I've noticed you really seem to care about your daughter.

I'll make sure she will have a rich dowry, if we can find an agreement.

People say you're getting rich behind our backs.

But even if that's true, we don't care.

All my bother and I want today is to make a deal with you.

A deal that will bind us forever.

Your father's right, Odette.

You really look like the daughter of a prince.

Have you seen how lord Ferdinand was staring at you?

I wouldn't be surprised if one of these days he asked you to be his wife.

- Don't be silly, Nani... - Why not...

after all duke Philippe married a fisherman's daughter.

Oh cut it off, what's wrong with you tonight?

Don't act all mysterious with me.

You think I didn't notice the way you looked at him too?

Do we have a deal, Morel?

What if duke Philippe finds out?

How could he? We'll be the only ones knowing the truth.

And I think none of us will talk. Don't you think?

There's a problem with the lock.

The key to the tower has been lost.

You'll make a wax mold out of the lock and build a new one.

Fine. I'm in, gentlemen.

But only if you promise me the lands north of the valley.

- That's a lot to ask , Morel. - You're asking me to become a murderer.

Fine. You'll have them.

When we're going to do it?

Tomorrow,

after our brother has left.

We're done here, master.

- This is mine. - We're leaving.

Good evening, mr. intendant.

What brings you here? It's a honor for me.

How can I help you?

Can you make a key out of this mold?

What are you doing still here? Leave.

It's an old and complex key.

I'm paying upfront. But I need the key for tomorrow.

- Need anything else duchess? - No, thanks. Only my tea. - Yes, madame

Leave it there, please.

- Good night, miss duchess. - Good night Josette.

It's you. You scared me!

You married a monster, you didn't know that?

Hey... what's wrong? Why so sad?

Don't go. Don't leave me here alone.

I'm scared.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Why? Ferdinand and Gael will be watching over you

and I'll leave well guarded. Nothing bad can happen.

Do you want me to neglect my duties?

What are they going to think in Paris?

- That I'm not going because my wife has a bad feeling - What are you doing?

Philippe. Philippe!

Were you leaving without saying goodbye?

I didn't want to see you sad. It's hard for me too.

Come back soon.

Even the king himself won't keep me away from you for more than a week.

This week will feel like an eternity.

Don't be worried.

Take care of yourself. And Fran�ois too.

- Who's Fran�ois? - Our child, Christine!

I'd wish one of you would accompany me to the lands over the river tomorrow.

- Gael? - What? Excuse me, I wasn't listening.

Something's wrong Gael?

I'd really love to see you more serene.

He's just feeling lonely. Our little, thoughful brother needs to be loved.

I really wish I could help.

Oh, you will help him... one way or the other. I'm sure of it.

Try to be more careful, Gael. You're too nervous.

(Praying)

Please, let Philippe come back to me soon.

Thank you, Lord.

Help! Lord Ferdinand! Morel! Lord Ferninand! Help!

- What happened? Speak, for God's sake! - The duchess...

- I've found her in this state. - Oh my God...

Call the doctor. Now!

I'm sorry ladies and gentlemen, but there's nothing else we can do.

Lady de Cambyse is dead.

No! Please doctor, try again!

You could be wrong. Please, do whatever it takes but save her!

Unfortunately miracles are beyond my reach.

There are no doubts about it. The extremities are cold,

the mirror shows no sign of breathing, the eyes are not reacting to the light.

- But how could she have died this way so suddendly? - Who can tell...

it looks like she died peacefully, without seizures, and also without pain.

We can only accept her fate.

Have the castle draped in black.

A deathlike cold will rise up her legs to her beautiful face,

darkness will fall upon her eyes and cover her in a deep sleep.

Her heart resumed beating?

Yes, Gael. But we should have just killed her instead.

No, we will proceed according to plan. As you promised.

You promised.

If a Cambyse kills a member of his own family he will die of a violent death.

Don't be silly, that's just a super- stiction. However I will keep my word.

Let's hurry.

Here's Morel.

- Have you brought everything? - Yessir.

The key too.

Watch out.

Philippe! Open up! Open up!

No...no, Philippe...

You'll think I'm dead too...

You won't look for me... You won't...

If we want to camp at the old windmill we'd better cut through the woods, sir.

- Aren't you married Jean? - Yessir duke.

- And isn't your wife waiting for you? - Of course, but...

Then we'll ride all night long and make our wives happy by showing up early.

But I'm not married sir, no one is waiting for me.

You're wrong Roland. Ten Luis d'Or are waiting for you as a reward.

Don't let him run away!

Roland. Roland!

Who's there? Please, help me!

Answer me! Who are you?

Please, have mercy of me!

Don't leave! Don't leave me locked in here!

I'm begging you, please!

Morel! Oh God, thank you!

- You're here to save me! - No, Milady.

I've just been ordered to keep you alive

You must eat. It's been two days since your last meal.

Morel, I can't believe you're acting like this.

What have I done to deserve this?

- I'm just following orders. - Orders from whom?

My brothers-in-law, right? They've locked me up here.

I can't tell you more.

Listen Morel...

if the faith my husband has in you

and the love I feel for your daughter are not enough...

you can take this necklace as a payment... please, let me go!

I promise the duke will never know you were part of this plot.

He will reward you for saving me!

You know how generous he is.

I can't. I wouldn't stand a chance.

Your... persecutors would kill me.

I will let myself die and this will be all your fault.

No, you will live. You must live on... for your child.

Leave the lantern at least. I don't want to stay in the dark.

I can't. Somebody from the outside could notice the light.

Jacques! Manuel!

Where are you?

What's going on here?

Philippe... Philippe!

Ferdinand! Why the black drapes?

Where's Christine? Why didn't she come out to greet me?

Come on, talk! Something horrible has happened, hasn't it?

Gael!

Calm down Philippe. Ask God for comfort He's the only one who can help you.

Christine! Christine! CHRISTINE!

No!

No! No!

No! Christine!

God Almighty, you saved my life only to torment me for the rest of my days!

Don't talk like that Philippe.

God loves you but sometimes He tests his favourite sons.

Yes, by killing an innocent... and the child in her womb.

I understand your pain...

cry all you want but don't be blasphemous.

It's not up to man to judge God's design

- Have faith. - Faith can't bring my Christine back.

Her smile... her sweetness...

the days and the nights we spent together

Her love had become my whole life.

Pray... God will help you find your peace and acceptance.

Go away.

I don't need you and I will never find peace.

Leave me alone with my memories.

When the pain will become unbeareable I'll have at least the right to die.

Morel! Morel, listen, I have a question for you...

I'm listening.

What's going to happen to the baby after he's born?

Answer me.

Can I keep him here with me?

I don't think so Milady.

Morel... you can't do this to me.

If you take the baby to your masters... they will kill him.

You have a daughter. Imagine your pain if somebody took her away from you.

Tell me you're going to help me. That you'll let me keep my child.

I can't. It's not up to me.

Dammit can't you see? He's the only reason why I fought against death...

against desperation... so he could live...

not to leave him in the hands of his murderers!

Morel! Don't leave!

Philippe!

Philippe!

I hereby share with you, my brothers, all my riches and my properties.

To you Ferdinand, I leave the de Cambyse duchy and the Varsielle county

with the certainty you will be a fair, wise and just ruler.

You Gael will inherit Combourg and Saint-Etienne.

To you, my dear subjects I ask to love and respect my brothers

with the same devotion you showed to me and my father.

When you'll read this letter I will have already abandoned this world.

I hope God will give me the peace I've been looking for in vain.

I knew you weren't going to do it. You're indeed a good Christian.

I've been informed about your wish, but it will take five years

before you can be ordained.

However in the meantime you can wear our cloth and live with us.

As you wish. But please don't reveal my identity to anyone.

No one will ever know your real name.

Now kneel.

From now on you'll be known as brother Antonio.

The grounds are over there over the hills, on the foot of the mountain.

Two vineyards, some woods, a windmill and a small creek.

Everything's ours.

And you never believed in Lord Ferdinands generosity...

He's been generous indeed...

but I see it as a fair reward for thirty years

of loyal service to de Cambyse dukes.

I've dreamed of this moment for all my life.

Now I'm sure you'll never become a servant...

you'll be the one being served.

Put it in the basement and get to the kitchen. I've got another job for you.

Here, take it.

We haven't found his body yet and you're already getting rid of his belongings.

Well, that was all... you can go now.

You really hated him.

Objects bring back memories. And I want to forget about the past.

It won't be easy Ferdinand.

It's like we killed him with our own hands.

Philippe killed himself, you know it as well as me... and we got what we wanted.

So that was your aim since the beginning!

Getting rid of Philippe and take his place!

The real obstacle wasn't Christine, but our brother!

Calm down.

You dragged me in this madness,

you sacrificed my peace of mind for your pride.

You used Christine as a weapon to achieve your goal.

Also you goal... you're forgetting about Dominique.

You went through all this for her love.

Cheer up, Gael.

Prince Fontenoy can no longer reject you now you're the Count of Combourg.

I hope so Ferdinand.

I'll leave for Fontenoy tomorrow morning.

Mademoiselle! Mademoiselle!

I can't run through the fields with this cold!

What a way to behave! Come here now Mademoiselle! That's an order!

Enough with these jokes Mademoiselle!

Bring me back my crown.

You're so mean. Stop acting like a child...

look, your hair is all messed up.

Oh my God. Hear that? The ghost of the De Cambyse duchess is back.

It's a bad omen for the castle.

Let's go Mademoiselle. Come with me.

To Duke Ferdinand. Let's hope he's like the other one.

I doubt it. They say he will double the harvesting taxes.

- To me then! - Me too!

- Hey taverner! - I'm here!

- Another beer! - I'll be right back.

Come on drink, you're a grown man now.

And a man who doesn't drink is worthless.

Drink or you will offend Lord Ferdinand.

He's paying for all this wonderful stuff.

- Giovanna, you're here at last. Have you prepared my ailment? - Yes.

Here. No, this one is for gout.

Here's the one.

This unguent will heal your legs, soothe your pain and send it to your enemies.

Thank you. How much?

No money.

Too many crimes over gold, and too many men who sold their souls because of it.

Eat something then. Today everything's on Duke Ferdinand.

No. I won't accept anything coming from the castle.

Why? What's your problem with the castle, old hag?

A bad omen is lingering over the castle.

The ghost of the de Cambyse duchess is back in the tower.

What ghost are you talking about? Come on, drink!

He's right! We're partying tonight. And ghosts ain't real anyway.

Come on, drink some.

Like it? Good, isn't it?

Who said you only like goat milk?

Come on, drink.

Leave her alone! Let go off her!

Come on, cut it off! You're all drunk!

Enough! Understood?

Leave now.

Mademoiselle! Mademoiselle!

You forgot your wig.

You're not a man yet. That's why you're so kind.

Were you telling the truth about the ghost?

I've heard her complain, louder than the wind.

She was calling for help.

And crying for revenge.

Tears will soon roll down at the castle. And there will be blood. And death.

Who's there? Who's crying?

Who are you? How did you get up here?

Miss Duchess! You're alive!

Yes, I'm alive. I've been held prisoner here for six months.

I don't remember you, but I think I already saw your face.

It's me, Dany. The blacksmith apprentice

Do you remember? You gave this to me.

I told you I would never have sold it. I kept my promise.

Yes, I remember now. Listen, I need your help. Are you going to do as I say?

I'd do anything for you.

Go to the castle and talk to Duke Philippe.

Look only for him, and no one else. Tell him I'm locked in this tower.

But miss... so you don't know that...

What?

The duke... the pain was too much for him to handle.

- Philippe is dead. - Yes.

Lord Ferdinand is the new duke, now.

Oh my God... it's really over.

But I'll go at the castle. They're going to rescue you, you'll see...

No, Dany. They're going to kill me.

You said you work for the blacksmith.

You surely must have some tools to cut these bars.

Yes, it won't be hard. I'll bring a file tomorrow night.

I'll be waiting for you.

I'm convinced about the pureness of your love.

I had also dreamed of a happy marriage for my daughter.

She's all I've got after all.

Well let me see her again one more time.

Let me try to convince her.

It's not up to me. In her letters she asks not to visit her,

she says it would be painful and unnecessary.

And I'm sure her decision is irrevocable

My horse.

What are you doing here? How did you get in?

With a bit of intimidation and a few coins.

Get out immediately!

Not before you've listened to what I have to say.

I want you to know that I love you, Dominique.

Only now I've found the courage to say it.

Please tell me that's it's not too late. I can't stop thinking about you

How dare you? This is an insult. A profanation!

I've already decided. I'll take you away with me.

- You're crazy. - Wait! Please, wait. I'm not finished yet.

I want you to think about it before you get ordained.

- You're so young... so beautiful... - Let go off me.

- Why do you want to bury yourself in a convent? - Let me go! Don't touch me!

Dominique, you must be tolerant. Don't kick me out.

I'm sorry for being the cause of your pain.

But you've got to let it go. I'll never be yours, Gael.

But I gave away my soul for you.

I've destroyed the lives of two innocents.

My life is ruined.

Enough, I don't want to hear it.

Your words are making me sick.

No, you have to listen.

You're my first accomplice in these murders.

Your hands are as bloodstained as mine.

I don't want to be the only one to pay for Philippe's death.

You haven't been here for years. Maybe it was Philippe's fault.

But tonight things will be different.

- Really? - Oh, yes.

Philippe's parties were such a bore. They lacked flair.

Only young guests.

- Look who's there... - You mean madame de Guemere.

She only picks old, faint of heart husbands She already buried three of 'em

And now she's one of the richest women in all France.

They're all looking at you, like always.

- Youngsters are fine for nights like these. - You're right.

But what about this game you were talking about?

- I'm glad to see you so impatient. - Isn't it the reason why we're here?

Fine.

Let's start right away.

First things first, the candles.

You small towners sure know how to throw a party.

I really hope you're not my wife.

Shut up, don't answer.

Do you remember now? Where did you put it?

I don't know master... but I'll look for it tomorrow.

You're a good for nothing.

Tomorrow you'd better find my file or I'm going to beat you up again - Yessir.

Get moving guys.

Hurry up Dany, or it will be useless.

Want me to help you out?

This way you can rest a little.

No, I'm not tired at all.

Why don't you get some rest instead. I will wake you up once I'm finished.

What happened to your face?

Nothing, I just tripped on the floor.

- Hand me the baby. - No, please, have mercy.

Don't take him away from me.

I'm just following orders.

Please, for tonight at least... only for tonight...

a few hours to understand how it feels to be a mother with a child in her arms.

And then you'll do whatever you want.

What for?

You had no time to develop a bond with this baby. You'd better just let him go.

Do you really think a mother needs time to bond with her child?

I'm sorry but you know I have to take him away.

Yes, you're sorry...

your masters' ambition requires that I rot in this cell...

my child being murdered...

and I'm sure you're also sorry about Philippe's life being destroyed.

Oh God, Morel...

how could you have fallen so low?

Alright.

It's very risky for me but you can keep him for the night.

Thank you. Morel...

now I know they have not been able to turn you into a ruthless man.

You... what are you doing here?

I just wanted to see you Odette.

Mind if I stay here?

Those drunkards out there are not funny anymore.

- So I thought... - Forgive me...

but I'm begging you to leave.

I thought you liked me.

- Don't act like this... - You love me, why don't you want me to touch you?

It's exactly because I love you, please leave me alone.

You can make love for the first time with a man you like.

I don't want to... I don't!

Don't be silly!

No! No!

- Shut up! - Help! - I said shut up! - Help!

No! No!

Leave her alone!

I'm gonna kill you!

- I'm going to kill you... - No!

No!

Out! Every one of you! Get out of here!

Out of my sight! Out! Get out of my house!

Leave me alone! I want to be alone!

Alone! Alone!

We won't make it in time, lady Duchess.

- I'm so sorry. - It's not your fault Dany.

You'll leave him at the monastery.

Even a foundling can live a happy life.

You will leave this too.

It will be his fortune.

And what about you?

Don't worry about me.

He must be baptized and given the name Fran�ois.

And never tell to anyone who his parents are.

- Don't worry, my lips are sealed. - Keep me informed about him.

I'll come here every day.

God bless you Dany.

If I'll ever get out of here

I'll be a good mother for you too.

Farewell my little Fran�ois.

Look here...

What a noisy child...

He's so cute.

- Bring him to father Giacomo or he's going to wake up everyone - As you wish.

A messenger from Prince de Fontenoy.

What do you want?

Your brother Gael is dead.

- Fresh milk, brother. - Good idea, he'll surely like it.

But... this must be worth a fortune.

Must come from a noble family.

This is Christine's necklace!

How did it end up there?

Maybe Christine is not really dead!

Maybe this child...

It's her fault! Not mine!

She has no right to live! She must die!

Oh my God...

Morel! Help!

Help me!

Somebody save me!

Help me! Please help me! I'm here in the tower!

Gael!

Ferdinand! Where are you?

What have you done to Christine?

Your beloved Christine is dying right now!

Maybe you could still make it in time but I won't tell you where she is!

I'm going to kill you Ferdinand!

You know I'm going to kill you!

Help...

Please help me...

I'm here Milady!

Dany!

- Go look for help! - Hold on!

Run!

Hurry up...

We must save the duchess! She's in the tower, she's drowning!

Philippe!

Christine! *subs by richdager for CG*
