No!
I won! And I want my prize!
So what do you want?
That lily.
Good, I just wanted to refresh myself.
There’s shooting.
That’s probably hunters.
- Take it. - I don’t need it.
Angelique, who plays like that? You asked for prize and I brought you a flower.
Very well, I will return it to it’s place .
No!
What’s with you?
No, Nothing.
This is not a hunt.
Lets go.
- Let me go! I must avenge them! - No! You’re alone!
- Doesn’t matter, let me! - No! You run to Sance, and I will run to Monteloup.
We must alert all villages and tell them all to run to the castle.
- I’ll kill these dogs! - Do what I told you! Run!
- Where is Angelique? - I don’t know, Baron.
Where is Angelique?
Don’t worry, nobody will dare to offend our little Angelique.
Place that cart by the main gate. Prepare a bonfire nearby.
Monsieur Baron! Monsieur Baron! Angelique, She’s here!
Let Mademoiselle Angelique inside.
Finally!
In times like this you shouldn't go far away from home. I couldn’t find a place for myself.
Help us, Saint Ignatius. Help us. Help us, Saint Damian.
Help us.
Here you are!
Where were you?
I must introduce to you: My sister, Angelique.
Instead of running around God knows where, you should have met Monsieur Fallot,
Counselor of Parliament in Paris and my fiance.
If I had sat at home, I couldn’t have raised the alarm.
How could our father pander to her pranks? Immediately go change your clothes!
I’m shocking you, mother? And you, brother? And you, Monsieur Counselor?
- Can’t you do without stupid jokes? - It’s better to joke stupidly, than not at all.
- You think that everything is allowed for beautiful? - Yes, so what?
This is not the time for quarrels.
- She must respect me! - I saved your life.
- Pray to God that this would help us. - Let’s pray.
Don’t shoot, let them come closer.
Nicolas!
Charge! Charge!
This Plessis-Bellieres is a fine fellow. He fights like he dances.
Road is open!
Bravo!
Congratulations, cousin. Your son is a hero. We all owe our lives to him.
This is nothing for Philippe. Sometimes it is nice to have a son colonel.
Any fight he turns into a miracle.
He hides us all in the forests and waits until the bandits would run out of ammo,
then fire a musket volley and we tear them apart.
This was wonderful interlude!
There was one man, all black, then suddenly his head burst
and he became all red!
Time will come when you will be locked in a cage with someone handsome like that one.
And he will take you away from here.
How wonderful!
And after that one man who was black became so red, so red...
- Angelique! - Yes, father. You need me?
- Come, say hello to our guests. - I won’t go.
Come with me, I said!
- Very glad to see you. - This is your brave cousin.
- Can I kiss her? - I thought you were more gallant.
- So, I’ll make the first step. - No, not me!
This a real little devil! Let me hug you. She’s charming!
Cousin, this pearl needs a fitting frame.
You must take her to us in Plessis. She will be wonderful friend to my wife.
Let’s go with us.
I won’t.
She is so cute and modest. Isn’t she, Adelaide?
Philippe has arrived!
Take the horse.
Philippe, dear!
Allow me to introduce: Angelique my cousin, marquise of the gloomy dress.
Recently she didn’t even let me kiss herself, and I don’t even understand why.
She probably prefers shepherds.
Quiet! Bertram, Robert…
Taste of countryside, this is wonderful like a fresh fruit from a tree.
Try it, Louis!
Your turn, Bernard.
- There’s plenty for everyone! Go ahead, Maxim! - What about me?
Absolutely! You all can in turn.
- She smells like berries. - And you smell like stables!
Hey! Hey! Hold her!
My dear young friends, run around, play, but away from here!
Go, go.
I should have cut my fingernails. No? You like it like that?
You have as many clothes as onion has layers.
How can you wear so many clothes ?
I remember my horse was painted like this all covered in laces.
Oh well, too bad. Go away!
Come in.
- Monsieur, he is here already. - Let him in.
Well, monsieur Clement Tonnel.
Here is what you have asked for.
Beautiful color, isn’t it? Green, color of hope.
Such a little bottle and there will not be a king, or his brother, or Mazarini.
- Is it reliable? - Yes, of course .
Person is taken over by the weakness and then death.
- Monsieur Fouke gave you a letter? - Yes, monsieur.
Here it is.
Great.
He sealed the agreement with his signature.
We will finally refresh the royal blood.
Thank monsieur Fouke and tell him to wait.
I will act when there will be favorable moment. Let’s go monsieur.
What a smell!
Did someone insult you ?
Cousin can’t give me money, he needs them to help Fronde.
- What will happen to us? - I don’t know.
Poor Sanse loves his sheep so much that their smell follows him everywhere.
Do you think that smell of poison is better? At least we are not plotting to kill the King!
His highness, Prince de Conde.
Monsieur, this is my daughter.
What did I say?
Any conspiracy is always against the King starting from Julius Caesar
Cutie… She is charming.
Are you in love with Julius Caesar ?
I understand passion for history of Gallic War, I was passionate myself.
Victories of Julius Caesar, do you know about them?
No, monsieur.
You will have to catch up on your history in one of the monasteries in Poitiers.
Fronde will give your daughter opportunity of education, baron.
I am thankful to you beyond all limits.
I don’t want to go to monastery!
Wishes of the Prince are not discussed they are carried out, my child.
Let’s go Angelique, that’s enough.
Shameless!
- Oh, Guillaume! - Mademoiselle Angelique!
I haven’t seen you for so long.
- Is this beautiful carriage ours? - Yes.
- Why my father didn’t come. - He couldn’t, he is very busy right now.
Why am I taken in the middle of the year?
Mademoiselle, you will receive all explanations at home, in Monteloup.
- Girls are in the monastery in La Rochelle. - Your brother is in Nior College.
- Where’s father? - He is in the mines.
What mines?
I abandoned these mines long ago now turned out it was wrong.
Peyrac suggested me to open it again. This man has a flair.
You know, Peyrac – the most noble and the richest family in Languedoc.
And Jeoffrey is a great swordsman, brilliant and mysterious.
He is insanely rich and also a poet and a scientist.
His castle in Toulouse doesn’t have equals.
In a word this is a great match.
- Is he very old? - No, but, of course older than you,
Must I marry him?
Your wallet or your life?
Nicolas!
Yes, this is me.
And you. I can’t believe it. I thought I will never see you again.
How beautiful you became, more beautiful than before.
Don’t look at me like that.
Angelique Sance de Monteloup doesn't talk with poor anymore.
This is ridiculous!
No, you are grown up now.
You are daughter of Baron, and I’m just a servant.
I thought about you every day, every night, Angelique.
Leave me.
Then it is not a lie, you allowed sell yourself.
You’re out of your mind!
And how is this called? You met him in the monastery?
I never seen him!
This is the exact point, Madam Countess de Peyrac.
Count de Peyrac the most distinguished noblemen in Languedoc.
- And the richest. - What’s wrong with that?
Of course, rich husband it is always good.
But wait, you didn’t see him yet. This Peyrac is a real monster.
- This is not true! - No, this is really true.
He is not only ugly, he is also old, scarred, and limping.
- You’re lying! - A real monster!
However, in bed this might be interesting, no ?
Soon you will see for yourself that I’m right!
Make way for the carriage of Count de Peyrac!
Malivin, I’m asking you, don’t forget that you are notary.
Madam, even sun grows dark next to you.
I’m the happiest of mortals because I’m marrying you.
But at the same time I’m the most unfortunate because my name is Bernard D'Andijos.
Because I’m marrying you as a proxy.
According to special verdict enacted in our province,
persons from different cities who are getting married, do it by the proxy.
Count de Peyrac will meet his spouse
only during religious ceremony in his city of Toulouse, where…
- What did you wish for? - I wished for you to fall in love with me!
- For the bride! - For the bride!
Angelique, you could at least smile.
Peyrac doesn’t like sad girls.
D'Andijos, is it true that he’s ugly?
Ugly?
Ugly! No, he’s not ugly.
He’s monster!
Come, Nicolas.
Love me, Nicolas... Love me.
Come here.
I want you to be my first.
You are kind, handsome, sweet and very gentle.
- Will you be gentle, Nicolas? - Yes.
No, No!
No, Nicolas!
How dared you, traitor!
- Stop, Guillaume, I order you! - Let me go, I will teach him a lesson!
Dog, you will pay for this!
- Run, run! - No!
- They will catch you! - Let’s run away together!
You know it is impossible!
But I won’t leave you alone!
They will come here soon. Run quickly, I will catch up with you later.
I will be waiting for you in the forest,
by the big tree near the pond. Will you really come?
Yes, yes. Take this horse and run.
Long live the bride!
Welcome, these fireworks are in your honor.
We’ve stepped on to your land, Madame, into possessions of that wizard de Peyrac.
Please over here, Madame.
Angelique Sance de Monteloup,
do you agree, to be always and in every way obedient to
Jeoffrey de Peyrac,
Arvalle, Cavarex, Moraines and Eristrue?
Yes.
Your cause is lost, Carmencita.
I don’t think so, dear.
To earn love of Peyrac is not enough to just a village girl.
I know tastes for Jeoffrey. He loves what burns and can scorch.
What will happen if he falls in love? She is quite cute.
He will play with her, until he is tired. and he will return to me, on his knees.
- Germontaz, please let me have this gavotte. - I wanted to ask you the same exact thing.
Fine, fine, Gentlemen.
So are we going to dance?
Yes, monsieur Peyrac, your wife will turn anybody’s head.
- We aren’t at risk, Monsignor. - Why is that?
Your cloth and my leg doesn’t allow us to dance.
- Isn’t it pity? - What did you say?
I said, pity, but God created beauty, so that everyone could admire her. ,
- Well, admire her Monsignor. - She has wonderful figure.
Will you be distracted by smoke?
- What is it? - This is a cigar, Monsignor.
Oh, what abomination. It’s even scary to look at.
I brought them from America. This is an excellent tobacco.
- Sniff it or smoke a pipe. - Cigars are much more pleasing.
Always your striving to be original.
This disturbs me, my son. Do you hear me ?
Excuse me, Monsignor.
Excuse me, I can’t dance anymore. I must rest a little bit.
What luxury, what riches.
I hope, my child, you won’t forget my poor ?
Of course I won’t, Monsignor your parish is my parish.
Such humility is very commendable.
But... you chose yourself a strange husband.
Your hand, Madame.
I will help you, Madame.
Please, Madame.
Good night, Madame.
Take me quickly... and leave
You have no reason to insult me.
Good night, Madame.
I heard a lot about your beauty.
It is above any superlatives.
Good morning, Madame. Count ordered to prepare a horse riding dress for you.
My alchemy.
I will allow myself, to introduce myself to you.
You are my wife and don’t know anything about me.
They say, that Jeoffrey de Peyrac is a sorcerer and friend of the devil.
I want to explain to you what is my wizardry.
These are my masters.
He is from China, there I’ve been learning chemistry and astronomy.
In India I’ve been learning all kinds of poisons and antidotes.
I learned algebra from Arabs. I’ve been their prisoner.
They sunk my ship, and made up my face.
Kouassi-Ba saved me.
This is my accountant, he is son of my wet-nurse.
He is a brave warrior.
When me and him were in mortal danger, we jumped from the roof of a high building.
He broke both of his legs, and I only one.
This is Fritz Hauer, I met him in Saxony 10 years ago.
This is him who taught me how to mine gold.
My gold... it is also yours.
Well, now you have acquainted yourself with wizard.
Everything is ready.
A bar of pure gold.
If Archbishop saw it, he would’ve thrown me into the bonfire.
- Then you are really a sorcerer? - You think so as well?
- What all this show is for? - For my wife to know me.
Thank you, for yesterday’s night.
- Thank me for you leaving you alone? - Yes.
I couldn’t do it any differently.
How could I instill disgust for love in such a woman.
- Thank you. - Don’t thank me.
I know I will be rewarded for this sacrifice.
And I’m sure that you won’t be just a wife to me...
but a lover as well.
You are surely wrong, this will never happen.
- You’re gorgeous, even when you’re angry. - Why did you marry me?
Until I met you, because of the mines.
- Business before everything? - After I saw you, because of your beauty.
And now?
Because of courage. And when you will be mine, I will become the happiest man on Earth.
- This will never happen. - Time changes a lot of things.
But please stay the way you are.
Allow me... to give you this bar of gold ?
Give it to these people.
Fritz, carry out the order of the Countess.
Hey, over here!
For Countess de Peyrac!
Why, dear Count, you are not following the tradition?
There is no test stone in the glass of Countess.
- There is no in mine too. - Is this the reason?
And who here wants to poison my wife? You?
I didn’t mean any of your guests.
However all the security measures must be followed.
And the main measure, of course is the stone,
which loses it’s colors, when surrounded in poison.
Traditions must be respected.
But Monsignor, sometimes they bring only harm.
All nobility follows this tradition.
Some even swallowed the stone... and died from that.
Madame, allow me to leave.
I must prepare a sermon about humility.
I hope you will come to listen to it.
And now, since he’s left, tell us some story.
Please, Jeoffrey! A love story!
Are they all in love with him?
Possibly.
- And he is always so obliging with them? - But they are his guests.
Oh what can I do with you, let’s go.
- What do they want? - To listen to their idol.
So, a tale about love.
Once upon a time on a river bank a pretty girl was sitting...
still very young and when...
I’m sorry, you shouldn’t listen to this. Countess is tired and asking to excuse her.
Are you thinking that I’m so stupid ?
I’m afraid that I’m much more stupid myself.
Young man was very persistent, but girl was a better swimmer.
- I will finish it next time. - This can’t be! Is this all?
The Archbishop’s guards are after me. I’ve ran away from Switzerland.
- Physicist Bernoui... - Are you from Geneva?
Yes, but in Toulouse inquisition got on my trail. I almost got caught.
Come, in my house you will be in complete safety.
My such early visit is explained by my care about you.
Hiding a man wanted by inquisition is punishable by death.
What are you talking about?
An Officer of the Guards insists that he saw him. He saw how he came in here.
Would be nice to ask about this the beautiful Countess de Peyrac.
Kouassi-Ba, ask Countess to come here, please.
You’re overstepping your boundaries Peyrac.
You can reach boundaries of my kingdom only by riding the horse.
- You will ride too far this way! - Not farther than the skies!
Will you allow me to ask Countess a few questions ?
Yes, if this will not tire her?
This night one man sneaked in here. Have you seen him?
Tell the truth, Angelique.
I didn’t see anyone.
Good catholic, of course couldn’t lie to her shepherd.
- What do you mean? - So you didn’t see anyone?
No.
Then my guards were just dreaming, and there is no runaway.
And there is no mines in Salcini,
and there no any suspicious deeds at all.
Suspicious?
Will you dare to show me, how you produce the gold?
Is this a challenge?
Yes, it is a challenge.
I will wait for you tomorrow in Salcini.
Without fail.
Everyone says that you are a bit of a sorcerer.
I want to know if this is true.
- I’m thankful to you for this lie. - I wanted to save this unfortunate.
When D'Andijos came to take him from here you have seen it.
I didn’t think that you can lie.
He shouldn’t speak in German, I must understand everything.
Why did you let in this barbarian? He won’t understand anything.
So be it.
I want that someone else believed it.
- Those who play with fire are serving devil! - This is not a game, my dear Bechene.
This is a chemical process called purification.
- And what will be produced? - That is lead.
Heating lead absorbs gold.
Gold! I thought so.
And now watch, if you really want to understand.
We fill forms with ashes of bones.
Ashes, bones, everything is clear Peyrac. This is the real sorcery.
Look Angelique, lead passes through ashes and the gold is left in the form.
You transform lead into gold?
Fan the fire, fan it.
Peyrac you are cheating people, but you will never be able to cheat God.
Don’t listen to his silliness.
You are wizard. Everyone could’ve make gold if this was so easy.
He is so annoying.
Everyone knows 7 notes of octave, but only monsieur Louli can write opera.
Go give him one bar.
- What, he gotten so poor? - Do what I said.
Allow me to accompany you.
But I’m not in a hurry.
And I don’t want you to leave.
You ride with the speed of a devil!
But I am a devil!
- What is it, another mine?. - Yes and the most valuable one. You’ll see now.
- Where is she? - Here, please.
She is 2000 years old, but she is still young.
Forever young, like a true love.
Just don’t tell me, that it is too beautiful.
It is breathtaking.
I brought it from India. It sank twice with me.
It’s like it was made for you.
Look at yourself.
I’m sorry!
You are repulsed by me.
I can see it.
I’ve lost.
You are not my wife and not my lover.
I didn’t love anyone like that in my life.
- I can’t be without you! - I’m very sorry.
It is unbearable, return to me! Jeofrrey, I’m begging you!
Find somebody else, whu can console you.
Very well, Jeoffrey! If I’ll be asked about you, I will find what to say!
Excuse me.
I will have my revenge!
Jeoffrey, I was looking for you to tell you...
Le chevalier de Germontaz.
I didn’t invite him.
What a surprise! What brings you here?
His Holiness doesn’t wish to accept gifts from the devil.
Devil can’t answer to this insult, but I can!
I’m waiting for you tomorrow morning at 6 in Bressenclode!
Magnificent D'Andijos!
- You’re ready for anything for this vixen! - Tomorrow in Bressenclode!
No, not with you and not tomorrow, but with me and right now!
Your choice of weapons.
A sword.
Germontaz is the best swordsman in Languedoc! He already killed 20 men!
- Jeoffrey you’re crazy! - Yes, but this is how it is.
But this is won’t be a duel but murder! Stop him!
This is not in my powers anymore.
Begin.
You’re crying ?
You’re gorgeous.
This is unjust...
You are the beauty itself, and my face is all covered in ugly scars, and such leg.
You don’t notice any of this, when you’re in love.
- You are not afraid of me anymore? - No.
But I haven’t changed.
I love you!
No, love is definitely blind.
Are you falling asleep?
Jeoffrey, I just understood, how foolish I was. But I didn’t know you then.
This was before...
Before what?
Before us.
Are you sleeping?
I was a fool too.
You?
I waited for so long.
Waited for what?
To tell you...
About what?
That I love you, love.
Jeoffrey!
Yes, dear?
Madame, Countess!
Madam Countess, look he walks! Florimount is walking already!
Urgent letter, monsieur Count.
Report to His Majesty that he will honor me greatly.
Can you guess who is going to visit us?
I didn’t invite anyone, and I don’t want to see anyone but you.
But to accept this visitor is a great honor.
The King will stop here on his road from Saint Jean de Liu with his young wife.
Dish “The Ship of Love”.
This is a turkey, inside it a duck, inside which is a quail with Parma ham.
Recipe is mine. Accompanied with truffles.
His Majesty my brother won’t get up, until he eats everything. This will take couple hours.
This can’t be helped.
“Pomerole”,from the year 1692.
Very light, Sir.
What is the wine over there? I think, something Roman?
Absolutely right, Sir, Julius Caesar loved this wine.
I don’t have such good wine cellar as you do.
- You’re probably a great connoisseur of wines? - No, I more prefer music.
Yes, I saw your collection of instruments, it’s admirable.
Besides this, you are collector of medals and antique sculpture.
Wonderful.
- I love it, Sir. - And this is enough?
To love – means to wish passionately, and then you can achieve anything.
You wished a whole lot!
I’d like to wish like you as well.
By the way, tell me about the gold, rumors about which reaching me.
Imagine Sir, that you have a rock.
And you explode it, by using gunpowder.
So am I, blowing up my hills, crush them, heat them, separate minerals
and receive gold.
Your friend Peyrac is out of his mind... Teasing my cousin ?
You amaze me, Peyrac.
But your biggest jewel is something else entirely.
- And you are hiding her from me. - Sir?
Madame de Peyrac. They say, she is unbelievably beautiful?
She is waiting when you allow her to appear.
- She’s astonishing!. - Quiet!
You are delightful, Madame. Thank You.
- You should be more careful! - Me?
Yes. These shoulders, these breasts, this is a challenge, my dear!
Court is strict, ladies are clothed up to their ears. Very unpleasant fashion, but can’t be helped.
Anna Maria Louise, please introduce me.
De Vardes, the most dangerous seducer in Paris.
- What is the danger? - I will show it to you.
And the biggest jackass.
And he looks similar!
I like you very much, Peyrac and you. You are so funny.
If you’ll visit Paris, drop me a visit.
Looking at all this, I’m dying from hunger!
Frankness for frankness, wait, I’ll be right back.
Would you order to start a ball, Your Majesty?
Her Majesty the Queen is a little bit tired.
Why are you laughing?
You were so beautiful last night, surrounded by all these court ladies.
A pearl among the pees.
- Will you never cheat me? - Never.
- If you ever do this... - You will kill me.
Quick, Quick, hurry up! King doesn’t like to wait...
King couldn’t do that...
Common, hurry up, faster!
The King left and didn’t tell me anything ?
You know well that The King is everywhere at home and everywhere master.
He already gave you an honor, by stopping here.
- Where to? Carry it outside!
Everything take outside! Hurry up!
And he left just like that, didn’t say a word?
- But I have saved his life. - How?
6 years ago Conde was in Plessis-Bellieres and was preparing a plot.
He received a bottle of poison, and I happened to be nearby and saw everything.
I’ve noticed where prince de Conde hid the chest with poison, and stole it.
Don’t laugh!
Now prince de Conde has excellent relationship with the King’s brother.
If he finds out everything, he will want to get rid of you.
Where are you going?
I must see the King. - And you will tell him everything?
No, what for? But no one leaves my house like that.
Leave him – he did it from sadness, you have seen his wife.
Don’t risk our happiness, Jeoffrey.
This is what I want to protect.
I saw how he was looking at you last night.
I’m afraid for you.
If the King is our enemy, I must know about it.
Jeoffrey!
- I came to say goodbye. - Who let you in?
Your husband rode away, your servants ran away, I couldn’t leave you alone.
- Go away! - How many times I’ve been told that!
But all ladies later thanked me for don’t listening to them.
They weren’t scrupulous!
Let go of me! Help someone!
Don’t touch me! Help! Help!
Don’t raise your sword, I don’t fight with scoundrels, I just slap them!
Nothing, I will still get to her. She won’t get away from me.
You can be assured, she will be mine!
Where is Peyrac?
He decided to talk with the King.
He mustn’t do that! He’s out of his mind!
I must return him immediately, even if by force.
Say good night.
Good night, my baby. Good night.
What happened?
- What happened? - Master was attacked.
He killed one of them, but they were too many.
They took Master away in a carriage.
- Were the Archbishop’s men? - No, soldiers of the King.
- And King saw all of this? - No, ambush was earlier.
This is impossible. What did he do to them?
- D'Andijos, where is he? - He went to Paris to talk to the King.
Order to prepare a carriage. I will go as well.
I must see the King.
- Look, what do you say, I learned it. - What?
How to get to Rue de Pale ?
Drive along Seine until the last island, and there take first street to the right.
- Did you stole anything from them? - No.
I had a good harvest today. You know what, let’s go to my place.
Leave me alone, do your business. I have to think.
Do you want to compromise me?
Your husband is under arrest, and you come into the house of prosecutor’s wife!
- Into the house of my sister. - Ah, a sister?
- And did you think about her in Toulouse? - You are hating Jeoffrey?
- If you married a freak... - Jeoffrey a freak?
You don’t know anything. Jeoffrey is the best of husbands and excellent lover!
- Are you not ashamed to say such thing? - Do you know such thing?
- I’m disgusted to listen to you! - And I pity your husband.
Why, Madame?
- It is you who should be pitied. - Have you found out anything?
But remember, this is a secret.
- In the morning your husband was transferred to Bastille. - So he’s in Bastille...
This is serious. Very serious.
But no one comes out of there!
I can admire your self-control, but the order for arrest is signed by the King.
But into prison registry are not entered neither the name of Peyrac, nor the offence.
- King wants to avoid the scandal. - Exactly.
- And that means, he will free Jeoffrey. - I’m not sure about that.
Then what will happen to him?
Sometimes a prison, becomes a tomb.
Sorbonne, to me!
I must talk with Countess de Peyrac, I’m from Maitre Fallot.
Quiet Sorbonne, we are in high society.
Who is this?
Madam de Peyrac, I’m Francois Desgrez, an attorney.
Maitre Fallot told me that you need a cunning man.
But I need an attorney at law, not a cunning person.
I understand, how no one else will take up the defense of your husband.
And now to business, I only need some information from you and a payment.
You won’t get anything. And I will do perfectly fine without your services.
I have connections in the court.
Well if it is true... Sorbonne!
Jack loses, Queen wins.
But why was he arrested, I still can’t find this out.
Jack and 10. I win again. I’m lucky today.
He was placed in a special cell.
What will happen to him now?
Jack and 10, I win again.
He will be tried, well see what happens then.
Is it impossible to save him?
End of deck! New game!
I will do everything that’s in my power. But too little time has passed.
King still haven’t forgotten my participation in The Fronde.
- 10,000 louir. - Bank.
I ran all over Paris. Finally I have found you!
Oh, my friend!
Angelique... bad news from Toulouse.
Your estate was arrested, everything at all is sealed.
But why? Did we hosted the King badly ?
- On the contrary, too well. - Did it make him jealous?
I don’t know, but it’s possible. However I think there’s different reason.
- Countess de Peyrac? - Yes.
Madame, I must give you this invitation.
His Highness, King’s Brother awaits you tomorrow at 4pm.
- Me? - You.
The talk will be about your husband. But this is a secret for now.
So, at 4pm in Louver.
- What is it? - Everything will be ok.
God, You are almighty, protect Jeoffrey, tell me what to do.
I will bear anything for Jeoffrey, for Phlorimone
and for the child, which I carry.
It’s too late, let’s go Madame. It’s dark in the streets, we can be attacked.
- Who should be I afraid of? - You’re brave, but I’m scared.
Paris is a terribly city, and I don’t even have a light.
His Highness is asking to excuse him.
He is not feeling good, sudden bout of fever.
- When should I come then? - Tomorrow, here, at the same time.
- Thank you. - Tuilri Gates are closed already.
Pass through the garden of Infantes. Please over here.
This path is much shorter, In 20 steps you will be on the New Bridge.
For God’s sake, save me! My maid was just killed!
Ah you’re my cutie, I’m glad to help you.
De Vardes, I beg you, help me! Save me!
- You have enemies? - Here everyone is my enemy!
What about me? I’m your friend and ready to serve with all heart and all body.
- I only need your order. - Then you will help me!
- But we have to hurry! - You’re right, my dear.
- Where are you going? - To the sofa.
This may not be very comfortable, but I must fulfill my promise.
Sorbonne, come along!
I have news for you.
- I’ve seen your husband. - You’re joking with me.
With this uniform I snuck into Bastille, saw Peyrac and found out reason of arrest.
So you have seen him? How is he?
Let’s go inside, I will tell you everything.
No!
This is not most elegant place, but it is quiet.
Let’s go in or I won’t tell anything.
Julienne, now you can return him this.
Peyrac is locked in Bastille by the order of Archbishop.
Because of death of his niece?
Oh no, that duel has nothing to do with it.
Then because of that monk.
Yes. Peyrac was playing with inquisition and he knew it.
But Archbishop wanted a symbolic punishment.
And would’ve been satisfied with some small revenge.
He didn’t expect it to turn things this way and wanted to stop the case, but couldn’t.
King himself gave order to arrest.
But Jeoffrey loves the King!
And King don’t love those, who surpass him in any way.
- And my advice to you: leave Paris. - Never! My husband is waiting for me!
- We must help him get out of Bastille. - Only the executioner can help him!
You’re lying, not telling all! You don’t know anything!
It’s not easy to figure out state secrets, but I’m trying.
Not only your husband is mixed up in here, but you yourself.
Particularly, King’s Brother knows that you keep some terrible secret,
which involves prince de Conde, you know what I’m talking about.
But to save his friend, he may destroy you.
- This is why I’m telling you to run. - Never!
Anyway Peyrac will be burned as a wizard at Plaza de Grev.
- But he is not guilty. - Not only the guilty ends up on a scaffold.
Excellent! Forehead of Diane, don’t you find? Gaze of Venus...
And this hand, it is like a milk river! Superb!
Step aside, I can’t see anything!
And all these delights cannot compare with you, Anne Mary.
How can I thank you!
Honor me please, raise a finger.
Finger of a fairy!
Don’t thank me, I didn’t even have to drop to King’s feet.
He is disposed in your favor, and if you will properly use this...
Go, quickly!
Sir, Countess de Peyrac is here.
- And you knew him well? - He was very original.
There you go, she finally came to the King.
We must act... and immediately.
Sir, excuse me for my boldness.
Tradition prescribes me to speak first.
Decidedly, you are even more beautiful, than my memory of you.
Your golden dress, then... in Toulouse, was charming.
- But what’s with you? - On that day my happiness ended.
- Happiness? - Since then I haven’t seen my husband.
Unbelievable, you are so charming and cute.
Are you really in love with your ugly and lame husband?
He is kind, fascinating man. You had the opportunity to confirm that yourself.
Yes, he can conquer women... A real sorcerer.
This is not true!
- You forget yourself Madame! - How can you believe rumors, Sir?
I believe in what I have seen myself. Where does he get gold?
- He produces it from the oar. - And produces too much of it.
So much that he decided, that to him everything is allowed.
Such luxury is not for mere mortals.
- He was richer than the King. - He thought only about good of the Kingdom.
By being richer than everyone else? Having means to raise an army and start mutiny?
I swear, he was never been part of any conspiracies.
We are your loyal servants, Sir.
Rise, Madame.
- Are you so strict with everybody? - Who told you that?
Leave it...
You are denying to the King, what you allow to his courtiers.
And you believe in these lies?
This is only a whim for you. I know, right now I’m at your mercy.
I can’t do anything, and you are all powerful. Well...
But I do not want to wrap my hands around a ghost.
You will be thinking about Peyrac, about this devil!
Go away, I do not wish to hear about you!
- Save him, Sir, I’m begging you! - I have already answered that. Go away.
Tonnel, watch out, that no one can come in.
You must die, Countess. You have a choice, sword or poison.
- Help anyone, save me! - Only in death is salvation.
You won’t dare!
We hope you yourself will do the dirty work.
We must hurry Philippe. In 5 minutes we must be with the King.
No, no!
Prefer poison? Wonderful.
This is the best poison. You absolutely won’t feel anything.
Yes, I know what poison that is! It was made for you, and I hid it!
Exactly. You know too much!
Drink it!
Drink!
I saved your life, Monsieur! Don’t kill me!
Drink!
God sees everything, monsieur!
Yes, God... Well, let her pray for her soul.
Witch doesn’t have a soul! Drink!
Drink or else I...
Help! Help! Save me!
This woman is under spell! She is very dangerous!
By the order of the King, I must send her to monastery Saint-Honore.
You’re lying!
- She splashed alcohol into de Lorraine. - Not alcohol, but poison!
- She’s crazy. - This was a poison!
You’re crazy yourself, cousin. I know Countess de Peyrac.
Enough cousin.
I’m King’s brother, and you are just being tolerated here.
Go away. Go away everyone!
What are you waiting for?
I don’t leave my friends in danger.
I won’t leave Madame de Peyrac alone.
But I’m asking you to retire.
I give you my word of a noblemen, that your protege has nothing to fear.
My word is not enough for you?
This request is for you too cousin.
Don’t be afraid, dear, you have word of my cousin.
I gave my word, this is true.
But Chevalier de Lorraine didn’t give it.
Revenge!
Guards to me! Guards!
Faster!
Guards!
Get them!
- Run to Monteloup, here you will be killed! - But you? You are our only friend.
That’s why I’m staying! Run, I will hold them off!
Seems to me that now even me will come in handy.
Yesterday my maid was killed.
- And today they wanted to kill me. - What prevented them from doing it?
- People on the street?. - This wasn’t on the street, in Louvre.
They are so bored in that barn?
Goodbye!
I was right?
- I couldn’t believe it. - Unfortunately.
- I’m listening. - I’ve gained an audience with the King.
And what?
Jeoffrey will stay in jail until trial.
Sorbonne, it’s time for us to act. Let’s go.
During the trial I cannot receive you.
Afraid for you husband’s reputation?
No offence, but you don’t want us to be in your situation, do you.
What about baby, Madame? Let at least him stay with you.
And second one will be born soon.
- Madam, where will you go? - It’s nothing, dear Barbe, world is big.
Where will we go?
I don’t know.
But I do.
- Where is this. - Behind temple.
This is an ideal place for you. Police is afraid to stick it’s nose in here.
Kouassi-Ba, sell the horse and the carriage. There will be enough for your living.
- I will not allow myself this, Madame. - Thank you.
This is your new dwelling.
Is this you?
Raymond!
Sister, please at least respect my cloth.
You are amiable as usual, didn’t change at all.
Don’t hurt your brother. I’ve found him with great effort. He promised to help us.
- This service doesn’t allow you to smile? - No, situation is very serious.
- When will you see the exorcist? - I don’t want to hear about devil anymore.
- Then you shouldn’t have married a sorcerer. - He’s not a sorcerer, and I will prove it to them.
And we will help you in that.
Farther Kirsher will be main witness during trial. He promised you this?
Yes I was able to convince him.
And if Peyrac is accused unjustly, father Kirsher will save him.
You are afraid for nothing, he is innocent.
Gentlemen, the honorable court.
Bring in the accused.
By order oh His Majesty, a commission was established to decide your fate.
As it was before in a case of Saint-Marse.
Accused, take the oath.
I swear to say the truth, but...
Nothing can be added to the oath, or else you will be judged as a mute.
Well, it’s very convenient. Mute accused, defense is also mute...
and justice is mute.
Wonderful.
Then I swear to say the truth... no matter what it is.
Prosecution has a floor.
Monsieur Chairman, Messieurs Councilmen.
A heinous crime was committed and it contained in the sorcery.
Such crime is punishable by death, and I demand a death penalty.
Without right for appeal.
Inquisitions Prosecutor has the floor.
I tested the accused with seal soaked in holy water.
When touching it, possessed by the devil will groan and shake.
10 times I touched Peyrac, 10 times he groaned and shook.
- Is this true? - Yes.
With a seal identical like this, dear Conan Becher?
Yes, it is a classical seal for exorcism.
- May I repeat the experiment? - But...
Give me your hand.
What is it?
This seal is an exact copy of a seal used by monk.
Work of apprentice of Maitre Antoine, the locksmith of Bastille.
- Can I call in a witness? - Call.
Here’s a craftsman, who made both tools.
This is true.
- How old are you? - 17.
He is underage.
Guards!
- Take Courage! - You will need courage more.
Peyrac, get up!
I’m asking, Monsieur Chairman, permission for my client to sit.
He has serious injury from childhood, and last days he underwent torture.
He is supposed to stand before tribunal! Stand up!
Jeoffrey!
Order!
His Majesty magnanimously forbid presence of the public in court.
In case of appearance of disorder,
the court will make decision behind the closed doors.
Calling the witnesses of prosecution,
and we will have the honor to convince the tribunal that the accused is possessed.
Small duel. Monsieur Germontaz is very strong.
The strongest. First sword of Languedoc.
Impossible to defeat Germontaz, but my master...
Thank you!
I didn’t force him to talk.
Gentlemen, the accused, regardless of his injuries,
defeated chevalier de Germontaz, a legendary fencing master.
And there is only one explanation of this – Peyrac put a spell on him!
To put a spell on the niece of the head of Inquisition? You’re flattering me!
This doll was found in the coffin of one of your lovers.
What will you say?
I will say that it looks just like me...
Your doll had a burial service in a church, like a martyr!
What, you consider yourself a God?
But God is beautiful.
Peyrac charmed judges, now we have to only convince them. Only you father...
Holy father Kirsher doesn’t doubt de Peyrac.
I was sure.
And I hope, in Bastille, if only they will let me visit him,
I will be able to exorcise all devils torturing your unfortunate husband.
Opinion of the Great Exorcist of Devil will have weight even in this tribunal.
Yes, they still believe me.
Flames of Hell! Look it is tricolor of Satan! He’s Devil!
Lead, it is just lead,
everything else is a Satanism and cheating...
Lucifer always wanted to change the world created by Almighty.
Tongues of fire are the snakes, and smoke is dreams of damned souls!
Peyrac!
Quit whining.
Kouassi-Ba, take a bar and show it.
Don’t look messieurs, this was created by Satan himself.
Show me the oar.
- This is gold contains pyrites. - How would you know?
I make lectures about it in the University.
To order!
Take those Satan’s helpers out.
Look at this unfortunate woman.
Peyrac wasn’t satisfied with violence he did to nature.
He also put an evil eye on a human. I’m calling all of you to bear witness.
He is the death itself!
See, she is under his spell.
Talk!
He took me away from my family, took me from my husband!
And I can’t be without him not even an hour, not even a minute.
To save this poor victim we put her into monastery!
He breaks up crucifixes and burns them while laughing watching them in flames!
He throws them at me and burns me!
Stop this comedy! This hysterical woman is no more possessed than myself!
No, don’t touch me! I swore, that no one will touch me!
- Enough! - I’m giving you my sould!
She foams from her mouth! But this is just a soap!
Do you hear? This is the laugh of the Satan!
Take her away.
I think gentlemen,
than now no one will deny, that this woman was bewitched.
Fortunately, a hysterical comedy cannot be a reason for death penalty.
And I can assure you, gentlemen, that my client is not a sorcerer.
I have a proof.
I, reverend father Kirsher, of Society of Jesuits,
official exorcist, do swear with my soul and consciousness
that Count Jeoffrey de Peyrac is not possessed by the devil.
Signed on the day 25th of August Year of 1660 of Our Lord, in Bastille.
So, the Church itself, the most concerned party,
removes from my client accusations of sorcery.
Will you really prefer to the opinion of father Kirsher,
ravings of this obsolete monk.
Tribunal cannot trust document, which was made up especially,
to win this hopeless case.
Father Kirsher himself will appear here, and then we will see who is falsifier.
I demand to remove maitre Desgrez for insulting this court.
And I demand, that reverend Kirsher was invited to this hearing.
Well, the Court doesn’t object. Hearing will be resumed tomorrow.
Thy aren’t here...
You’re alone?
Farther Kirsher is not at his home, not in his residence, not in parish, nowhere.
- He must be found. - I’ll go with you!
- You cannot walk anywhere! - I will go anyway!
Quiet please!
Hearing is resumed.
Monsieur Chairman, it is 11 o’clock already.
I believe, that the word play of maitre Desgrez was long enough.
And I think, that it is time...
Monsieur Chairman, body of father Kirsher was found in Seine.
He was strangled.
It is you who ordered his death.
No, you, it is clear for everyone!
You made him to sign that document and then get rid of him.
Gentlemen, members of tribunal, this is murder.
Dear members of tribunal, if we talk about murder,
the in the last days there were 2 attempts to murder Countess de Peyrac...
... In Louvre.
- Are you accusing King’s Court? - No, those who are obstructing justice.
You are insulting His Majesty. Guards, Arrest him!
This court has no right! The trial is falsified!
Archbishop himself was against the death penalty!
Sorbonne! Justice is being suppressed here!
So, gentlemen of jury,
listen to the voice of your conscience, what sentence do you propose?
It is your decision.
I’m not sure of anything.
I can’t decide.
Who is for death penalty?
King doesn’t like indecisive people and doesn’t trust them.
Peyrac... the court declares you guilty.
Naturally, I have to be killed.
And I will tell you why.
The Fronde advances and tears Kingdom apart.
Crown Princes want the death of the King.
But wind changes, and King wants a commander – Conde.
He summons him, forgiving the Fronde,
never suspecting about prepared poisoning.
You are reeking of poison yourself!
Fool!
To be careful, Conde drowns with gifts King’s brother.
He must find the poison,
Conde’s spy Tonnel discovered, that the poison is stolen by Angelique de Peyrac,
who knows about plot.
Since this moment Angelique is sentenced to death.
But to reach her, they must first remove me.
You were removed.
This is why I was arrested.
The way is free! These gentlemen can now make short work with my wife
and breathe freely.
And what reason for arrest? Most stupid and improbable...
the Sorcery.
That’s all.
Retrial! I demand a retrial!
This is accomplice of Peyrac!
We are noting, monsieur from University your solidarity with the accused.
But we will fulfill your wish. Justice is merciful.
Justice is objective Monsieur.
It is not higher than us and not lower than us, it is absolute.
Who is for retrial, please raise you hands.
No thank you, my friend.
Nobody?
Accused de Peyrac, Court sentences you to death.
You will be burned at a stake on the Plaza de Grev.
I will leave the kids with my sister and will go to the King again. He will pardon Jeoffrey.
You won’t enter the Louvre. There are warrants for arrest.
- Today I will leave Paris. - And you will leave me?
Put on this peasant dress, and I will take you to your father in Monteloup.
There you’ll be able to hide.
This is impossible, she will compromise the family. I’m already being sent to exile.
While Joeffrey is alive, I will not leave Paris.
Then take this purse, give it to the executioner on Rue de la Fermry.
- He will save Jeoffrey? - He will strangle him, relieving of pain.
My baby!
- What is there, Barbe? - These are the children of your sister.
My husband, Count de Peyrac, I beseech you.
30 ecu, all is good. Be assured he won’t feel a thing.
No, this can’t be. It is impossible. Will Joeffrey really die?
- Give me your hand, I will tell your future, Madame. - It is too late..
There is someone, who can save you and Peyrac.
- Do you know me? - Of course not.
Bandits can save Peyrac, when he will be taken to execution.
- Bandits... - Only they can help you.
Very well, let’s go.
This is me, Barcarolle, mission accomplished.
- Look, the widow of de Peyrac. - Not a widow just yet.
Shut up!
I waited for you Angelique.
I kept you in my sight and knew, that today you will come here.
- Nicolas! - Nicolas doesn’t exist!
Nicolas waited for you in the forest for 2 days. 2 days and 2 nights.
Finally soldiers found him, but he killed them,
and since then he is called Calembredaine.
Help me!
I can of course steal even sentenced to death.
- But what will you give me for it? - Anything you want!
Just don’t promise money or gold, you don’t have any.
I will offer you this.
Peyrac is to be executed tomorrow at 6am. I know by which road they will take him there.
I will free your husband, and he will live.
But we two will run to America, like we decided, when we were still kids.
Promise me, Angelique. There, we will start a new life.
Nicolas!
Peyrac will live, I will rescue him. So tell me yes or no.
I accept.
To arms!
Damn, we were tricked, this is a straw stuffed doll!
Everyone quickly to Plaza de Grev!
Probably this Peyrac was a worthy man, and they were really afraid of him.
Villains, foul murderers!
Angelique!
Here she is, that witch! That witch must die!
Catch this withc, and throw into fire! Let her burn in the Heaven’s name !
Seize her! Don’t let her get away!
Catch her, damned witch must die!
Put me down!
Give us the woman!
Let me go!
Give us the woman!
Let me go! Let me go!
Well, you’re welcome to shoot. But you see how many we are.
There are much more of us.
You’re saved. Do you hear, you’re saved Angelique.
Here no one will harm you, even the King. You are in safety.
And we don’t have to move to America. You will stay here with us.
I offer you strength, which needed, to start everything from the start.
You can rely on them.
They are not devils.
They have not very pretty faces, but they are all good fellows.
You will become their Marquise – Marquise of Angels.
Angelique, you will be happy yet. You have friends.
You have two sons. And also there is still revenge. We all will be with you.
Angelique, you must live!
