Room!

Room for His Eminence!

What happened?

- He looked worried -He never spoke to someone!

Isn't he going to give an audience?

Hey!

Are you going in like that?

No,I'm going in like this.

Who is he?

He is called "Black Death"

Why?

Because that's what who he is

He'd better be Black death

I hope the cardinal will have him hanged

Madame

Are you sure you wouldn't miss me?

Quite

Gil de Berault the famous duellist.

A good swordsman?

Deadly.

Well?

Open that,Joseph

Where did you find your Englishman?

I overtook him fifty miles from Calais

What did he say?

Nothing,Your Eminence.

Typically English

What did he do?

Fought,Your Eminence.

Typically English ,and then?

We had an excellent fight,Your Eminence.

Did you leave him dead?

Not very. He was cursing heartedly

Cursing? A futile exercise, my friend.

Wildly practised ,but entirely ineffectual

Even when one happens to be a churchman?

And does it for pleasure,really?

With that tongue,you might have made a churchman yourself

My life has been full of nervous escapes(?),Your Eminence.

There is your money

I suppose you rush to the tables and lose it all

Oh, no,Your Eminence. I'll rush to the tables and double it

Berault!

You heard I had issued an edict issued against duelling?

No,Your Eminence. I was away.

Fighting a duel by His Eminence's order

That was in the service of France.

Four thousand noblemen were killed in the duels last year.

My own brother among them.

I'm determined to put an end to it

I mean it,Berault.

If I fight for share force of habit ?

I'll have you hanged

Trying to get English money for a general rising

Find Rivarolle!

Rivarolle...

I saw the Marquis of Morelle in my anteroom,arrest him

Yes,Your Eminence

The Count of de Montdenis is here, too.

- Arrest him - Yes,Your Eminence.

Yes, Josef. They will hung.

Tell me I'm ruthless

You are ruthless

Tell me I'm cruel.

- You are - And I am rightly

These men are traitors!

Followers of that arch traitor, the Duke of Foix!

Plotting the ruin of all I toiled for ten years to build up!

At this very moment,he is across the Spanish border.

Enlisting troops for a general rising

And his friends are trying to raise money in England to support him.

If I'm not cruel, we shall have the south in flames again.

And civil war in France.

The Count de Montdenis, by order of His eminence, the Cardinal, I arrest you

There's end of fallows in the town with a fa-la-la and a fa-di-riddle

Where lives a priest of highly enough

With a fa-la-la and a fa-di-riddle!

He keeps an orchard fair to see

Where dead men hang from every tree

And very sure who disagree

With his fa-la-la - and a fa-di-riddle!

With a fa-la-di!

Marked cards

Marked cards

Marked cards?

Show me the marks.

I have lost everything!

They must be marked!

Show me the marks

You call me a cheat?

Don't! Duelling is forbidden!

Remember the Cardinal's edict

Fight

Or I'll flog you through the streets

Fight!

It's suicide!

Leave me alone!

- He did not want to fight. - He never had a chance.

You butchered him and all your cut-throats, murderers,that's what you are

Yes ,Black death,that's what you

Cardinal's guard

Your sword, please.

You know the penalty for duelling

Your Eminence...

What is it?

A letter from Gil de Berault with all speed.

Read it

Would you hang the dog that kills the rat?

He presumes on past services

They have been many,Your Eminence.

I know.

That is why I warned him.

Gil de Berault!

Your time has come

Was my letter dispatched?

Yes.

No answer?

Yes.

Pardon?

Hang him

Two sixes!

My lucky day!

Do you think so?

You saw my last throw

Yes,but it was your last throw.

Well,if you are right

Heaven is going to be a dark place.

Marquis De Morelle

Count de Montdenis

From the City Marshal of Foix

'The City Marshal of Foix reports that he is informed by a reliable agent"

Go on

''The City Marshal of Foix reports that

... he is informed by a reliable agent that the Duke of Foix...

-... visited the castle. ' -And

- 'And left again for the Spanish border. ' -What?

Fools,torts,?

I got troops posted on all along the border and they'd let him slip again!

Once lay hands on de Foix, and France is safe.

He is the head and front of the whole movement.

And without him, all the rest are like.

Sheep without a shepherd!

But he comes and goes as he likes.

He prepares his rising at his own leisure

And every day, my position weakens, my influence wanes.

Couldn't you occupy his castle? Arrest his womenfolk?

Yes,and set the whole countryside in a blaze and lose my one chance

...to lay the scoundrel by the heels?

His wife and sister

Where a whole regiment has failed, one man might succeed.

He would have to be a clever man.

There may be time!

Call Rivarolle!

Hurry!

Rivarolle

Gil de Berault!

Gil de Berault!

Gil de Berault!

Come down

By order of the cardinal.

To His Eminence Berault.

Captain,please tell your men to conduct me to my friend, the cardinal.

Prefect...

Show the gentleman the way to the cardinal.

For the presence your sentence is suspended.

Better my sentence than myself,Your Eminence.

I'm not so sure of that.

But I'm going to give you a chance to prove it.

By serving France as you have never served her before

Not another duel,Your Eminence?

Yes

Of wits.

I am asking you to succeed where an army has failed.

You mentioned wits.

Do you know the duke's castle in Foix?

No

All the better. The duke's wife and sister live in the castle.

He visits them from time to time.

You will gain access to this castle and win their confidence.

I do not care how.

You will arrest the duke and bring him to Paris.

Will you try it?

Try it? Your Eminence may consider it done

Do not be too certain.

Should they find you out, you'll be lucky if they give you a quick death.

If fail me...

I can promise you a slow one.

Bring me this man to me and your sentence shall be cancelled.

Father Josef will give you all the money you require.

You will need someone with you.

Marius?

Your Eminence?

Your Honour...

He doesn't please you

I prefer to work alone.

If I know Marius, he will follow you like a dog.

If I know,Your Eminence, he'll pray me like a hound.

Both I hope. Josef, give him the money.

Now go.

And bring the Duke of Foix to me

One moment,Sir

-You know our mission, I suppose? -Yes,Sir

Can you ride?

Yes sir!

Can you use your hands?

You will be surprised

The sooner we start, the better.

What time is it?

It's ten o'clock.

Hey, hey, hey, that's my watch!

- Yes sir. -Where did you find it?

In your pocket.

-When? -When you asked me if I could use my hands.

The devil you did

-Give it to me -I have

Where is it then?

In your pocket.

In my pocket?

I told you you would be surprised.

Shall I keep the money or will you?

-Keep it,it will save time. -Yes,Sir

Open the door!

- We have no rooms. - See to the horses.

-We have no room! -See to the horses!

Wine

Could one of your people guide me to the market pass?

You'd better ask them.

Who wants to earn a couple of crowns?

Is it my imagination or is there a certain lack of enthusiasm?

We do not like strangers here.

Well, you do not have to poison them.

You are the Duke of Foix people aren't you?

We are.

And he is in Spain?

He might be

Do I cross the river to reach the castle?

Answer!

What road do I take?

You'll take the road home if you got any sense

Frightened men live long

Not here.

Here we are.

Master

You'll never get across alive!

I might.

But I can't!

That's why I'm going to cross here.

What should I tell the cardinal?

Say the next time he gives me a faithful dog

He'd better choose a water spaniel

Goodbye.

But, master!

Master

He is still alive.

Put him down there

What is it?

A man! He's half drowned!

Get some brandy!

Madame

Thank you Madame

My name is Raymond De Bart.

What happened?

I... I was attacked.

Hit on the head.

Thrown into the river.

Do you know where you are?

No,I lost consciousness

You are a guest of the Duke of Foix until you recover.

How can I thank you,Madame?

Louis, take the gentleman to the tower.

See that he has a warm bed and find him some dry clothes.

You are too kind,Madame

Thank me tomorrow.

- Good night. - Good night.

This is my sister-in-law.

Mademoiselle

He called you Madame

He thought you were Edmond's wife!

And he took Your Grace for the duke's sister!

Not a very clever spy.

Do you think he is a spy?

No good ever came out of that river!

I'd thrown him back

Do you believe his story?

Not a word of it! Nor any man for that matter

Never did

I must find out about this man.

Jean, I want you to see Leval at once.

Ow,you're hurting me!

Ow,you're hurting me!

Don't touch me again.

Why are you staring at me?

I don't need you

Get out of here.

Don't you understand?

Are you deaf?

Get out!

Why doesn't he speak?

He is dumb, sir.

He has no tongue.

When the cardinal's people took La Rochelle,they spared his life.

But cut out his tongue.

Why?

He was a spy, sir.

A dangerous trade

Very dangerous,Sir.

Very.

We have to serve the cause of ours

But we are not murderers.

But we didn't touch a hair of his head, My Lady! I swear!

You didn't attack him?

No

Nor push him in the river?

No

Was he alone?

He had a servant with him.

He had forgotten to mention that.

Did he know he was near the castle?

Yes My Lady

What did he say?

He asked for a guide to the pass.

He said he was on his way to Spain.

To Spain?

I didn't say a word about him.

I never thought he'd get here.

Better here than on his way to Spain.

That's all. Thank you.

Leval

Send a pigeon to Paris.

Find out if they know anything about a man who calls himself Raymond de Bart.

Raymond de Bart?

Very well, My Lady.

You wish the candle out,Sir?

No,no.

Come let him sleep

Can we allow him to cross the border?

Yes.With Claude(?)

He might kill the Count!

Yes.

He has a servant.

Who will probably tell the watchmen(?)on both sides

That might keep him close(?)

What shall we do?

We'll write to Edmond and ask him.

Until we have his answer...

We'll keep the man here.

He should be under lock and key

But he won't get far with close watching.

Supper is served, Your Grace.

Just one moment, Louis.

Louis follow him by distance(?)

What are you looking for?

Can I be frank,Madame?

You'll have to be.

You will think me very ungrateful.

Possibly.

- You will never forgive me. - Maybe.

You have made a remarkable recovery.

Yes.

But since you seem to explore the house at night

you had better tell me what you are looking for?

Food,Madame

Food?

You certainly will not die of hunger here

Louis, the gentleman will have supper with us.

May the hand of Jesus Christ bless us and also the food that we are about to eat.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

Oh I'm so sorry.

That's a very bad omen!

Oh no

So, you're from Paris, aren't you?

No

I am from Normandy.

But I've been living in Paris.

And you are journeying just for pleasure?

Oh,no,Madame

I am on my way to Spain.

To Spain?

- Yes - Why to Spain?

To see the Duke of Foix.

Why do you want to see him?

Oh, he may be glad of a good sword.

If your Gracious command would help me to a guide,Madame

I would proceed to Spain as soon as I have my horses.

In a few days, we might give you a good guide.

Thank you,Madame

In the mean time.

You'd better stay here

Thank you,Madame.

In Paris, you didn't happen to know any of the duke's friends?

No,no.

Why did you leave Paris, then?

Oh, I left Paris because...

The cardinal wanted to hang me.

Why?

Duelling,Madame

For once

I'm almost like the cardinal.

'Thou shall not kill. '

Of course

You are protestant.

And you?

A Catholic?

I'm afraid I have no religion.

How can you live without something to believe in?

I have my honour,Madame

And my sword.

Your honour?

Yes of course

We return thanks on to thee for all thee blessings.

Oh, Almighty God...

... who lives and reigns forever more

So be it.

Let me see. Where was it you where attacked?

At the river.

I was looking for a place to cross.

And you were one man against many?

At that time, yes. I had left my man with the horse.

Poor Marius I feel the worst

Faithful servant?

Oh, he followed me like a dog.

Oh, I wonder what has happened to him.

Master

Marius!

-Marius! -Gil!

You dog.

You faithful dog.

What did I tell you,Madame?

Master,you don't know what I've gone through-

And you do not know what I've gone through.

I was attacked, beaten on the head, thrown into the river...

Picked up for dead

What happened to you?

I don't think I tell mine now.

No,no.You must be tired. And you...

And you're wet through a nice rest for you

Yes,we'll find a room for him.

Oh, no, ma'am. He would not think of sleeping in anywhere

than at the foot of my bed.

Would you, Marius?

I wouldn't think of it

I knew you wouldn't

Come

Good night, Your Grace.

Good night,My Lady.

Is he a spy?

I'm sure of it.

He was terrified that his man would betray him.

He is a bad man, I swear.

How do you know,Marie?

He only looked at me once.

And a cold shiver ran down my spine

He did honour to your dinner,Marie

We can believe than he was hungry.

They always are. They only care for two things.

And the food is the other one

I'm locking my door tonight

'Raymond de Bart.

The de Bart family is well known in Normandie

But none of our friends has met anyone called Raymond de Bart in Paris '

A Spy? Why not make short work of him?

But we don't know whether he spies!

We do not know, but...

But I hate the man.

Yes, I saw the two men riding into the court yard.

Who are they?

Baron Breteuil and Count Rossignac, two of the duke's friends form Le Bas

How do you know?

I have my methods.

And I know something more. There is a military patrol following them.

How soon can you get here?

Not before midnight,they are on foot.

Listen, Marius.

There is something else I want you to find.

I have a suspicion that...

there is an underground passage from the castle to some place in these woods

What made you think so?

I have my methods.

I'll find it

You must

Trust me.

I don't

- But, Master... - But if they catch you nosing about

They'll certainly hang you.

Yes, but if we don't get our man, the cardinal will hang us both

That's a bright future.

Yes. Very

And remember that we are anxious to accompany these two gentlemen to Spain.

Why not take him with you to Spain?

And let Edmond decide?

But he might attack us

And we shall be carrying the diamonds!

And without the diamonds, there will be no pay for the recruits!

There is a patrol on our trail already.

We can't afford to take any further chances

No. You are right.

Very well. I better give you the diamonds at once.

Twenty-seven diamonds and two sapphires.

Spain will be a fine market for them.

And we can pay the recruits

What do you want?

May I crave a short audience,Your Grace?

I'm busy at the moment

I'll let you know, Mr. de Bart

- Did he see it? -Could he?

Of course he did

Let's make short work of him.

We can't kill a man who might be innocent!

What does he want of you?

I'll find out at once.

And you'd better keep the diamonds,Baron.

Yes.

I think it will be safer with me.

If he did see.

You wanted to see me?

Why?

I want to leave this house at once

Why?

Where are you going?

With the two gentlemen to Spain.

How do you know they are going to Spain?

You have a poor opinion of my mental powers,Madame

Not of your mental powers.

My honesty?

You are wrong.

Help me to go to Spain.

But you said you were so happy here!

I've been happier here than at any time in my life.

-Then why? - I better not tell you.

I think you have

Oh please!

I can understand anything but deceit

Please!

Try to be honest!

I am a guest in this house.

You are the wife of the master of this house.

Please don't ask anymore.

Are you in the habit of running away...

... when you fall in love?

Did the virtuous women in Paris teach you that habit?

Are we poor provincial women intimidating?

You are not afraid anymore?

No

I would face damnation, if the Mistress of the house cared for me.

The Mistress of the house?

No, I'm afraid you haven't made a great impression on the Mistress of the house.

I'm sorry to shatter your dreams.

But I'm afraid she doesn't care two straws about you

What does he want?

He wants to go to Spain.

I thought as much.

Well, we can not take him with us.

No, too dangerous.

- Where are the diamonds? - The baron has them.

And we leave as soon as the moon is up.

When I pull the rope, you follow me down

What,down there? I couldn't

Pull yourself together

- Come . -What for?

The baron's room is below this one.

We got to have those diamonds.

What diamonds?

The diamonds they are taking to Foix.

In Spain to pay the troops.

Master!

Do you mean these?

How did you get them?

I just squeezed passed the Baron on that narrow staircase.

Half,Master. My share

Very well. A third.

Make it a fourth and caught it quit

One stone...

One little stone

For heaven sake,you don't know what they are worth!

For one stone I could buy an estate!

-Where? - In England.

I thought you were so loyal to the cardinal.

Not if I could be a squire in England.

Open the gates,in the name of the king! Open the gates!

The passage!

- Have they left with the horses! - Yes My Lady.

- Open the gate! - Yes My Lady.

Hurry! They are waiting with the horses!

Come on come on.

Where is Baron Breteuil?

He was here. He left a few minutes ago.

Which direction?

Louis! Which direction?

Towards the pass, My Lady.

Did he leave by main road?

I do not think so, sir.

Which road?

I think he took the west road, sir.

The West road

Poor fellows!They will be searching all night.

And all tomorrow by which time the Baron will be across the border

Good Morning.

Good Morning!

Isn't it a lovely morning?

Yes, the poem.

The perfect Eden.

And here we have the perfect Eva.

Your Grace.

Monsieur.

Marguerite, did you suspect Mr. De Bart being a poet?

Not being a poet.

He says that this is the Garden of Eden.

You mean before the serpent arrived?

I meant before the angel appeared.

Indeed

- Well, let me tell you this - -My Lady!

May I have a word with you?

Elise!

Some news must have arrived.

Count Rossignac arrived.

No,have you seen him?

No, but I saw his horse.

Where?

Hidden away in those woods.

How do you know it was his?

I never forget a face.

It is the last straw!

Without the jewels, Edmond is ruined!

He must have the men!

He must pay them.

But where can the Baron have lost them?

I can not imagine it!It's incredible!

It's no use running here talking we must search every corner of the house!

The baron's room, the underground passage, everywhere!

Come on Elise!

If the count has come back

they must have missed the diamonds.

Where the body is, there shall the vultures be gathered together

What on earth do you mean by that?

Where the horses, the underground passage can't be far away

You have your moments.

Yes. And you have my diamonds.

Neither yours nor mine.

Look!

Goodbye, Bon Homme

And tell Edmond not to despair.

Not to give up

If we can't find the diamonds,we will find some other way to rise the money.

Stay here.

-Silly Fool! -It was a twig you pushed me!

-You must be quiet! -Look!

She's gone

Can I help you?

In what way?

With your work as a spy!

Spy?

Yes. It's an ugly word, I know.

But then, it's not a very pretty profession, is it?

I know nothing about it.

Oh please! Abuse my hospitality, but don't insult my intelligence!

You've wronged me

Wronged you?

How could one wrong anything so vile as you

You got into the house by a trick!

Seeking information to send to your dirty masters!

I am my own master.

Then you are much dirtier than I thought!

I meant Richelieu, the butcher!

Oh,if only I were a man!

Yes, if only you were, I'd make you eat every word you spoke!

-All true! -Not one!

-Liar! -Silence! I take that from no one!

When I followed you just now...

... it was with a purpose.

Of course!To find the passage.

No. To repay, in some small measures, the hospitality which you accuse me of abusing.

Pay with blood money?

With this.

Which I think you lost.

Even before you lost your temper.

The diamonds!

Where

I found them.

On a path in the forest.

You mean..

Take them back

And take back the things you said.

And the things you thought about me.

Oh, after all my wicked thoughts

All the horrible things I called him...

Can you imagine how I felt?

But you thanked him. You told him you were sorry.

No

He gave me no chance

How clever of him

He knows something about women.

He knows nothing about women!

Very well,darling.We won't quarrel about it

The question is how to get the diamonds to Edmond.

But, do not you see? He can take them.

And give my letter to Edmond.

And tell him everything!

I wish I could go with him.

You do not know how I miss Edmond.

It's so lonely without him.

See

After all this time?

Yes.

And I'm not ashamed of it.

Wonderful.

You don't understand. How could you?

You are not in love

No, darling.

I'm not in love

It was a master stroke giving back those diamonds!

Which you wanted to divide

Well, after all, I had stolen them!

And that's the rule among gentlemen.

You don't have to be a gentleman.

You got brain!

You are too kind.

Look ahead. You see things.

Subtle, that's what you are.

Foxy!

You flatter me

I do.You should have seen her!

Tears in her eyes!

Sobs in her voice!

She is yours and with her you get all the rest!

What?

I said,with her, you get all the rest

What do you mean?

One, you get the woman.

Two, through the woman, you get the husband.

Three, the cardinal hangs the husband.

Four,you get the widow.

Five, with the widow, you get back the diamonds.

Six, you remember who got them for you.

And they all lived happily ever after!

Open the door!

Where is the duke?

The duke is in Spain.

That's a lie!

Search the castle!

We have reliable information that the duke is somewhere in the castle.

We know it!

You better save time and tell us where.

Why? When you know it

I have got him, sir!

I have got him

Who the devil are you?

Isn't he the duke, sir?

To my deep regret...

I'm not the duke.

What are you doing here?

I'm a guest here

Are you?

I bear the king's commission.

His Majesty has my sympathy.

What is this?

Look sir!

Be careful!

I am not a woman.

Come Out.

Thank you, Marius.

No don't

He insulted you.

But you can't kill a man for that!

He might kill me.

Arrest that man.

Arrest?

Aren't you going to fight?

No

Don't you want to kill me?

Yes.

But not with a sword.

With a rope.

Assisting the enemy, my friend.

It means hanging.

Take four men and march the prisoner out to the guardroom

If he tries to escape, shoot him.

Take him away,come

You two stay here.

I'm going to search the castle.

What is it?

Fire

Fire

Did he mean so much?

Always.

From the first day.

And I was jealous and suspicious!

Horrible

And now

I shall never forgive myself!

Darling.

It wasn't your fault.

You are just worn out,that's all

Let me get you something.

There

Just a tiny drop.

Oh, no, thank you, Elise.

I do appreciate your sympathy,my dear

But...

Just now,all I want is to be left alone.

I understand

Good night Darling

Good night.

What's all this about? Where is your prisoner?

We shot him ,Sir

Shot him?

He made a dash out we gave him a volley

-Did you hit him? -He fell like a stone in the river

Good riddance,firing the right shots

Men

Don't put that,Elise

Really is you

I am afraid so

But the shooting

Very poor

-You are not hurt? -I am,all over

-Thank God -I beg you pardon

For your safety

And for your wine

And so Madame,Good Night

And Good Bye

-You are not leaving? -But I must

I have news for you,I know now that I can trust you

Edmond is coming back

-When? -Soon

But he can't tell to a date

Now you will stay,won't you?

I have been here too long.

Don't you want to meet Edmond?

Yes, of course, but...

I might bring danger on your house.

No. The soldiers will be off again tomorrow.

And if they should return..we can hide you

Would you have me stay?

Yes

I'll stay.

Thank you and Good Night

Good Night

I have a confession to make.

-I deceived you -How?

When you first arrived here,you remember?

Could I forget?

You called me Madame,you thought I was Edmond's wife.

Yes!

I'm not. Elise is his wife.

I am...

Edmond's sister.

You are not married?

Forgive me?

I had to hate you

Because from the very first moment.

I had to love you

Big boy you

Master

You've picked the wrong one

No I just heard some news

You'd making love to the other one

All the time it was the other one was the one,and not the other one

What are you talking about?

The Duchess,but she is not the Duchess

It's the unmarried one that you ???

The other one is not the one, do I make myself clear?

No.But I know what you mean

What are you going to do about it?

I wish I knew

It makes me laugh when I look back

I thought you were all kinds of horrible things

You were right

But dear,what is it the use telling me that?

I know you

And do you know I came here under an assumed name?

What?

De Bart,the name of my mothers family,not mine

Why did you use it?

Because my name is

Gil de Berault

Gil?

But I like it,what's wrong with it?

The name of a gambler, duellist,the black death

That's what they call me

A man not fit to lick your shoes

But you left out something

And that is?

The name of the man I love

What do I care what you have been

The past is past

It's your hands,your eyes

Your courage

That belongs to me

Very pretty

Sir

I said very pretty Monsieur de Bart

How do you know my name?

How do I know that it is your name?

What do you mean?

May I ask what you are doing in this house

I happen to be the duke's guest.What are you doing?

I happen to be the Duke

Where is he? Edmond

Edmond

Edmond

Have you told him about us?

Told me?

What?

We love each other.

Love?

But

But are you certain

You don't know what he has done for us

He found the diamonds

-You got them back -Yes,thanks to him

And he risked his life for it

When the soldiers came

You've done me a great service.

Let me do you another

Go back to Spain

Go back? Why?

Don't ask me,go,go while you are safe

Safe? From whom?

They've killed the guard!

How many are they?

I don't know Sir

They seem to be everywhere

How could they knew you where here

Somebody must have seen me

Is my horse saddled?

Yes ,Sir,they are coming through the gates

The passage

They are here too

They found the entrance

Castle is surrounded

The northern entrance is blocked

They are coming up on with the racks

Gil

Duke of Foix

In the name of the Cardinal I arrest you

Don't try it with me,my orders are to take you to Paris

Give me your word of honour that will obey me.

That you can come to Paris at your ease as a gentleman.

If you do not surrender, the soldiers will put you in chains.

Give me your word of honour.

I give my word.

The Duke of Foix...I arrest you.

You are too late.

The duke is my prisoner.

You? I thought you

I have arrested the duke by virtue of the cardinal's commission

By the same commission, I order you to leave this house.

The cardinal's commission

Where is it?

Here!

By this presence, I command and empire Gil de Berault,

to seek for, hold and arrest and deliver to the Governor of the Bastille

the body of Edmond, the Duke of Foix. And to do all such acts and things

that should be necessary to effect such arrest and delivery.

For these should be his warrant.Richelieu.

I thought you were an honest man on the wrong side.

I see that you are a scoundrel on the right side.

What are your orders?

When do we leave?

Tomorrow morning

I shall be at your disposal.

Never mind, master.

We've done our work.

Yes.

We've done our work.

I would like to see the cardinal's face when he hears the news.

You said it

Saddle up your horse.

But master,you said

Saddle up your horse

Yes master

Room,room for His Eminence!

- No words from the king? - None

- No news from Berault - No

The last straw left to cling to

The one card that might yet win the game.

The capture of de Foix.

And no news.

No news

Marius

Marius

Your eminence

-Well -Quite well,thank you ,Your eminence

Fool,the Duke,have you got him?

-I have -Where?

-Under arrest -Where?

On his way to Bastille

-Monsieur de Berault? -Had my instructions to take him there

You mean he sent you ahead with the news

Well,you can put it that way

I wish to speak to the Lady Marguerite.

No

Poor, Edmond. But I want to listen to what he has to say.

You told me not so long ago...

that you would not judge me hastily again.

I'm not interested in anything you might say.

But you might be interested in what I'm going to say.

I want to buy my brother's life.

I can pay better than the cardinal.

These diamonds are worth a fortune.

Take them.

You misjudge me

I never turn traitor to those who employed me nor sold my own side.

Take them,for my brother's freedom

Then

I can't! I can't do it!

Will you listen to me for a second?

No,don't at me

Listen to me!

I came from under the gallows

To arrest an outlaw

If I had not arrested him...

... the soldiers would have done it.

Do you expect me to be grateful

No

I expect nothing

But there is one course still open to me

The road there leads to Bordeaux.

Where you have friends and where you can find a ship.

That road is yours.

And your brother's

He is free to go wherever he pleases.

But you!

My road is straight ahead

To Paris.

Back to the man who sent me.

That will be your death!

I pay the penalty.

And I will redeem my honour.

Gil!

Goodbye.

Gil! No, Gil!

What have you been saying to her,man?

That you are free.

No

They are all alike.

Every one of them!

Not even faithful to the hand that pays them!

I can't understand it

- To Accomplish the impossible - And then to set him free!

Why?

He must have had a reason.

A lady begs most urgently for an audience with His Eminence.

No

Who is it?

Lady Marguerite,sister of the Duke de Foix

He had a reason.

You have courage,Madame.

I am at Your Eminence's mercy

And so you presume on it

No, I beg for it.

Not for myself

For whom?

For Monsieur de Berault.

Gil de Berault is a traitor to the hands who paid him.

The same hand that signed his death sentence.

And snatched him from the gallows

To serve your own ends to betray our cause

To save France.

From what?

Do we Protestants love France less than you?

Because we're of a different faith?

Because we rebel against the dictatorship where

no one is meant speaking their mind

Honest women do it, apparently.

I thought you came here to beg

Oh, Your Eminence, forgive me!

For your honesty? Willingly

And forgive Gil.

Why? There is no honesty there.

His orders were to arrest a rebel.

He did it.

And to bring him to me.

He betrayed my trust.

But if he hadn't,he would have betrayed mine.

No doubt

But am I to forgive him because he fell in love with you?

No

But because he did your work.

And he did it better.

Better?

Yes.

Without bloodshed,there will be no rebellion.

Edmond is on his way to Bordeaux.

The Duke of Foix is on board a ship for England.

Oh, Your Eminence knows everything.

Except one valid reason why Gil de Berault should escape a hanging

- But you - -Enough!

I have already been too patient.

Not content with stirring up rebellion among your people...

... you admit having seduced my trusted agent from his duty

You came here today at your own risk.

Josef...

Call the captain of the guards.

Things have changed since you were here last,Sir

In what way?

Haven't you heard?

The cardinal is down

-Down? -Finished

The king won't even see him

Now he'll hang no more poor devils

One more, I can see.

Master,I guessed I should find you here.

-Where's are our man? -I don't know

You don't know?

He hasn't escaped

I set him free

You set him free?

What for?

You wouldn't understand.

It touched my honour.

Your honour?

What about my neck?

No danger,that's why I sent you ahead, you get the credit for the capture

And escape the penalty for the rest.

Three times yesterday and the king would not see him

There will not be any penalty

The cardinal is disgraced..

All you have to do is to wait two or three days and

Until he's banished or his enemies finish him,don't you see?

Yes,yes I see but I gave my word

The cardinal's voice will be heard

Nobody will be there

-I shall -You're mad

He hasn't power to reward you,but he still can hung you

Do not do it, master, do not do it.

Two months ago I wouldn't give it a rat,but now

Don't do it

Thank you,Marius

- But this is - - I know. That cursed honour!

The more I hear of it,the more I thank,God I'm not a gentleman

Master

Master,listen,listen

There is still time

I know where you can lay safe,safer than a rat in a rig

Yes as a rat

On the King's Service

On the King's service

I knew it.

I knew it!

That means he is in power again!

Now you will hang!

'His Majesty desires me to express his great satisfaction...

with the news that the Duke of Foix is in flight.

And that his followers are without a leader.

To mark His Majesty's appreciation of Your Eminence's cleverness..

in suppressing the revolution, without bloodshed.

His Majesty is on his way here to express his gratitude in person.

Look at them

All coming back to lick his hand!

Master,master

For the last time!

I wish to see His Eminence.

Gambler!

Duellist! Bully!

And now a traitor!

You gave me your word of honour!

You don't know the meaning of honour!

If I didn't,why am I here?

Yes! Why are you here?

To pay the penalty

Nonsense

You are here because you heard that my power is gone.

Yes. Your power to reward me.

But not to hang me.

I promised you nothing so quick as a hanging

Your punishment shall be such...

... that before death frees you..

... you will have time to realize...

... what it costs to play false with me.

Josef!

Fetch the woman

Gil!

Gil!

There.

Room! Room for His Eminence!

'The King's pleasure is that...

... that Elaine Marguerite...

... and Monsieur Gil de Berault...

... retire to the Castle of Foix...

... and remain there...

... until the King's pleasure be further known. '

Room! Room for His Majesty the King!
