0:00:21 > 0:00:22DOG BARKS

0:00:24 > 0:00:27I have a warrant from the Cardinal,

0:00:27 > 0:00:32for the immediate arrest of your prisoner Martin Labarge.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35He's already under arrest for the murder of two Musketeers.

0:00:35 > 0:00:39Ah. Well, you're to hand him over to us for questioning.

0:00:39 > 0:00:40It's not safe here.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44I want it noted he's a very dangerous man.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46Duly noted.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Very well.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01HORSE WHINNIES

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Don't say we didn't warn you.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07CLICKS TONGUE

0:01:07 > 0:01:08Come on, Labarge!

0:01:08 > 0:01:10This should be fun.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12Yaaah! Huargh!

0:01:12 > 0:01:15HORSE WHINNIES

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Huargh! Huargh!

0:01:20 > 0:01:22Aargh!

0:01:22 > 0:01:26- I think they need our help. - They're just too shy to ask.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28GRUNTS AND GROANS

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Stay out of this, damn you!

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Come on!

0:02:04 > 0:02:07Musketeer scum!

0:02:07 > 0:02:10It's your fault that Captain Trudeau is dead!

0:02:15 > 0:02:18BLADES RING

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Captain Trudeau was given fair warning. His own arrogance killed him.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Labarge is a regional Intendant.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09You had no business arresting him without coming to me first.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13Your Intendant is a violent criminal, who subjected Gascony to a reign of terror.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17I went to Gascony once. It's full of sheep and hedges.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19It is true that Labarge exceeded his authority,

0:03:19 > 0:03:22but I was in the process of recalling him to Paris

0:03:22 > 0:03:24before Captain Treville so recklessly intervened.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26The Red Guards put innocent lives at risk!

0:03:26 > 0:03:30- The Musketeers were lucky my guards didn't kill them. - Oh, really? You know what?

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Any of my Musketeers could thrash any of your Red Guards at any time!

0:03:33 > 0:03:361,000 livres Captain Treville is right.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40Each side to choose his champion in a contest to settle the matter.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43What do you say, Cardinal? Do you accept the wager?

0:03:43 > 0:03:47Shall we say...2,000 livres?

0:03:53 > 0:03:54Oh!

0:03:54 > 0:03:56Did you miss me?

0:03:57 > 0:03:58- Not at all!- Hm.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05This is so wrong.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07I just wish it felt wrong.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Then I'd know what to do.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14If you've changed your mind...?

0:04:14 > 0:04:16DOOR OPENS

0:04:20 > 0:04:24- Your rent is overdue. - My apologies for that, Monsieur.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27I haven't received any income from my farm for the last two months.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30Well, you've put yourself in a reckless position.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32You're a farmer who neglects his land

0:04:32 > 0:04:35and a would-be Musketeer with no commission in sight.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39I could point out your folly, but, er...perhaps it's not necessary.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47TREVILLE: Gentlemen!

0:04:47 > 0:04:52Finally we have the opportunity to prove what we have always known.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55- That technically... - What's going on?

0:04:55 > 0:04:59There is to be a competition between the Musketeers and the Red Guards.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Yeah, each side will choose a champion,

0:05:02 > 0:05:05to settle the issue of which regiment is greater.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08- As if it were in doubt. - How will this champion be chosen?

0:05:08 > 0:05:10There will be competitive trials...

0:05:12 > 0:05:13..and a 30-livres entry fee.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15MEN MUTTER 30?

0:05:15 > 0:05:19It forms a prize purse. Winner takes all.

0:05:19 > 0:05:20Why didn't you say so before, huh?

0:05:20 > 0:05:24This isn't about money. This is about the honour of the Musketeers.

0:05:26 > 0:05:30One man amongst you will have the honour of representing me.

0:05:30 > 0:05:34When that man defeats and humiliates the Musketeer champion...

0:05:35 > 0:05:37..I will double his prize money.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41Now, which of you here is the greatest fighter?

0:05:44 > 0:05:49Captain Trudeau was the best man in the regiment... before Labarge killed him.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06A pig wouldn't eat that.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09Eat it or starve, Labarge.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11HE SCREAMS

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Monsieur Labarge to you.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Agh!

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Well, gentlemen,

0:06:19 > 0:06:22may the best man amongst us win.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24Those of us who are allowed to compete.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28You are a Musketeer in all but name. All you lack is the King's commission.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Go to Treville. Ask him.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34There is just the thorny issue of the entry fee.

0:06:35 > 0:06:36Anyone got it?

0:06:38 > 0:06:41My pockets are empty and the cupboard is bare.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43Yeah, I just pawned my cupboard.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45Porthos, my friend,

0:06:45 > 0:06:49I think it's time for us to go fishing for a patroness.

0:06:51 > 0:06:52Needs must.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58Deliver, O Lord, the souls of the faithful departed

0:06:58 > 0:06:59from the chains of...

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Who are the departed?

0:07:01 > 0:07:04Head of the candle-makers' guild died a year ago...

0:07:04 > 0:07:07leaving his widow very rich.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Fourth pew, left side.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Madame Laurent has a thing about Musketeers.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16Hm.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20Many brave men have gone there, but few have returned.

0:07:21 > 0:07:22Mm.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Fifth pew, right side.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Madame Marchand.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30In possession of one indifferent husband...

0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Hm.- ..three lovers

0:07:32 > 0:07:35and five small and irritating dogs.

0:07:35 > 0:07:40- PRIEST:- "Whither I go ye know, and the way ye know."

0:07:40 > 0:07:46And Thomas said unto him, "Lord, we know not where thou goest.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49- "How can we know..." - Easy does it.

0:07:49 > 0:07:50Yeah?

0:07:50 > 0:07:54It's a Requiem Mass, not a party at Madame Angel's.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56The truth and the light...

0:08:02 > 0:08:06I need your permission to compete. I'm ready.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09There's no guarantee you'll win. You know that.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13I'm not asking for a favour, only for the chance to prove myself.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16HE SIGHS

0:08:16 > 0:08:18You'd be up against the very best.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21I know.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29D'Artagnan, there's no easy way to tell you this.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33I've just received a list of charges against Labarge from the Cardinal.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Your farm was one of the properties destroyed by Labarge.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40Apparently, he did it as a warning to other local landowners.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43He knew your father was greatly respected amongst them.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49That farm was my only source of income.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54I'll make sure justice is done, if that's any comfort.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Justice won't pay the rent.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07SWORDS CLASH

0:09:22 > 0:09:24LOW CHATTER

0:09:27 > 0:09:28My condolences, Madame.

0:09:30 > 0:09:34Your husband, er...he was a great man.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36And a great candle-maker.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39Well, which goes without saying.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44I don't believe we've been introduced.

0:09:47 > 0:09:48Porthos, of the King's Musketeers.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52A Musketeer, no less?

0:09:54 > 0:09:57- How did you meet him? - Ah, well, it's...

0:09:57 > 0:09:59It was at an event.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02You know, we both attended the same one, you know, obviously.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04It was ages ago now.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06It was, um...

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Of course, it was the reception at the palace,

0:10:09 > 0:10:12when the heads of guilds were presented to the King...

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Yes. Yeah.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17..and there were those peculiar courtiers.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21One of them was dressed as a Roman general and wore a lilac-blue wig.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Comte de Simonet.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Yeah, thinks he was Mark Antony in a previous life.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29Cleopatra, more likely.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Um...

0:10:40 > 0:10:44..perhaps I can escort you to your carriage.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48- Oh, I walked here today.- Oh.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50I know that's considered rather shocking.

0:10:50 > 0:10:51- But...- Oh, no, no, no.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56I have been cooped up indoors for so long.

0:10:58 > 0:10:59Then allow me to walk you home.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04SHE CHUCKLES

0:11:06 > 0:11:08The contest is my only chance.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12I have to win that prize, I just need to raise the entrance fee.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15- 30 livres is a lot of money. - You don't have to remind me.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21First I lose my father and then I lose his farm.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23No money, no prospects.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26I honestly can't think what you see in me.

0:11:26 > 0:11:27Everything will be fine.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30You'll raise the money and...

0:11:30 > 0:11:32you'll win the contest. I know you will.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Where am I going to find 30 livres?

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Well, this is...

0:11:54 > 0:11:57A treat, for coming out of mourning.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00It's probably not the done thing.

0:12:00 > 0:12:04But a year is a long time in black crepe.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08Well, the done thing just means following someone else's ideas.

0:12:08 > 0:12:09And you followed your own.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11BOTH CHUCKLE

0:12:13 > 0:12:16I, um...hope you've come hungry.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18I've...planned a rather full menu.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22I'm always hungry.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24BOTH LAUGH

0:12:25 > 0:12:27This way.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Well, at least you're surrounded by your husband's things.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35Keeps his memory alive, I imagine.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38I suppose so, yes.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Having something to remember him by must be a great comfort.

0:12:42 > 0:12:43Hmm?

0:12:43 > 0:12:45Of course.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48Well, you should have a token for yourself.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50- Oh, no. - Selfish of me not to think of it.

0:12:50 > 0:12:54Er...would you like his shaving bowl and brush?

0:12:54 > 0:12:55Or...

0:12:57 > 0:12:58..his candle snuffer?

0:12:58 > 0:13:00No...no, no, no.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Er...I couldn't, er...

0:13:02 > 0:13:05That must be worth 30 livres at least.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08- I should say so. It's solid gold. - Hm.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10I insist you have it.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13Charles used it every day of his life.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18I'd be honoured.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32Leave justice to the courts.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34You fought for this chance. Now fight to prove you're ready.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36I am ready.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39- What? - You have natural talent,

0:13:39 > 0:13:43but too often you let your emotions run away with you.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45Talent won't keep you alive if your heart rules your head.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47Can we just get on with it?

0:13:47 > 0:13:50My point in a nutshell.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00I hear an ordinary prison isn't good enough for Labarge.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03He's in the Bastille, living in comfort...

0:14:05 > 0:14:07..his every whim attended to.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16Imagine him there, living the life of a king.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18A-A-Argh!

0:14:21 > 0:14:25Every soldier has an Achilles heel. Control that, and you control the fight.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29So, Labarge is in the Bastille, is he?

0:14:29 > 0:14:32SWORDS RING

0:14:32 > 0:14:35I was trying to provoke him.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38You succeeded. Keep an eye on him.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44Cardinal!

0:14:44 > 0:14:48I wish to talk to you about Labarge. He destroyed my property and sold everything I own.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51There are many claims against him. No doubt his trial will establish the truth of them.

0:14:51 > 0:14:56- What am I supposed to live on until then?- What, still no commission from the Musketeers? How disappointing.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58But there are other regiments.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Other regiments like the Red Guards?

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Why not?

0:15:02 > 0:15:06A young man of talent and ambition might flourish under my patronage.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08- I'll take my chances, thank you. - As you wish.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10What about Labarge?

0:15:10 > 0:15:14If he confesses, you may well receive some form of recompense. If not...

0:15:14 > 0:15:16As a citizen of France, I demand my rights!

0:15:47 > 0:15:50Your fascination with these Musketeers seems inexhaustible.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53- I do everything for you. - Permit me to doubt that.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00There was a time I found your independence of spirit arousing.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30I understand you're a cloth merchant?

0:16:30 > 0:16:34The house of Bonacieux has been in business for three generations.

0:16:34 > 0:16:38- My grandfather, Jean Bonacieux... - I'm sure he was a visionary amongst drapers.

0:16:38 > 0:16:42Now, I may be in need of a new supplier to my Red Guards.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44The contract is a lucrative one.

0:16:44 > 0:16:48But the merchant must be someone I can trust.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Then how might I prove it?

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Come on.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31Get some rest. We'll train tomorrow.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41You're grown careless, Athos.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44I could have killed you just now.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Shall we call this...

0:20:49 > 0:20:52..neutral ground?

0:20:54 > 0:20:58If you wish. I won't attack a defenceless woman.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Your face is full of questions.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Ask me anything you want.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07THUNDER CRACKS

0:21:11 > 0:21:13What is your connection with the Cardinal?

0:21:13 > 0:21:17I have to make a living somehow. What better patron could I have?

0:21:19 > 0:21:22What exactly do you do for him?

0:21:24 > 0:21:27I'm a soldier, just like you.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31Well, perhaps we're not quite the same.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37But we all have to exploit our natural...

0:21:37 > 0:21:39talents.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47You still wear my locket?

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Why?

0:21:52 > 0:21:53Sometimes...

0:21:54 > 0:21:57Sometimes I ask myself the same question.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02Shall I show you why?

0:22:14 > 0:22:18Do you really think I could forget...

0:22:18 > 0:22:21who you are and what you did?

0:22:23 > 0:22:25ROLLING THUNDER

0:22:25 > 0:22:28It seems neither of us can forget the past.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32I give you fair warning, Athos.

0:22:32 > 0:22:33Leave me alone.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37Or you'll regret it.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48Every taunt is an attempt to distract you,

0:22:48 > 0:22:51to discover your vulnerabilities and exploit them.

0:22:51 > 0:22:55Last night, you let your hatred of Labarge overcome your judgment.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03Your trip to the Bastille was a childish mistake.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06I thought you had brains, but clearly not.

0:23:09 > 0:23:10I know what you're doing.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15That kind of stupidity is exactly why you're not ready to be a Musketeer.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17You don't mean that?

0:23:22 > 0:23:24Of course not, but unfortunately...

0:23:25 > 0:23:27..you're now dead.

0:23:40 > 0:23:44Your Eminence! To what do I owe this honour?

0:23:45 > 0:23:47You overstepped the limits, Labarge.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50You ruled Gascony like a petty tyrant.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52Well, people don't like paying their taxes.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54I just gave them a bit of encouragement.

0:23:54 > 0:23:58Perhaps if all the taxes you collected had reached the Treasury,

0:23:58 > 0:24:00I'd be inclined to overlook your excesses.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02Well, I suppose that was always my problem.

0:24:02 > 0:24:06I never knew how much greed was enough.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09Maybe I should have took a leaf out of your book,

0:24:09 > 0:24:12and followed your career a little closer.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17I, er...

0:24:17 > 0:24:20have a proposal for you.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Well, I hope it involves me not getting executed.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24It might.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28Mm, I'm not sure.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32It's not the best quality.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34- I can give you 20 livres for the lot.- I need 30.

0:24:34 > 0:24:39- Even at 20, I'm giving you the bread out of our children's mouths. - I'll throw in a baguette.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43For 30 I'd want a bonus.

0:24:43 > 0:24:44In your dreams.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50I'm only doing this cos I like you.

0:25:08 > 0:25:12I believe this is something you need.

0:25:20 > 0:25:2230 livres.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Is that right?

0:25:24 > 0:25:25How did you know?

0:25:25 > 0:25:28I've taken an interest in you, d'Artagnan,

0:25:28 > 0:25:32and it's not as though we're strangers, is it?

0:25:33 > 0:25:35What's the catch?

0:25:35 > 0:25:38Well, how suspicious you've grown since coming to Paris!

0:25:39 > 0:25:43There is no catch. I simply want you to compete.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48I'll accept it - as a loan.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51I'll pay you back when I win.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53Hm.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:26:02 > 0:26:05- What's this? - A little good-luck charm.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08And a token of my friendship.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18What did she want?

0:26:18 > 0:26:21She just gave me the money so I can compete.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24- You shouldn't have taken it. - Don't worry. I can handle her.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27- Are you sure about that? - There's no need to be jealous.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29There's no need to be an idiot.

0:26:30 > 0:26:34Who else is just going to walk up and hand me 30 livres?

0:26:35 > 0:26:37No-one.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52GLASSES CLINK

0:26:53 > 0:26:55Your husband was a lucky man.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57HE CHUCKLES

0:26:57 > 0:26:59- Food gave him no pleasure.- Mm?

0:26:59 > 0:27:03He saw self-discipline as a moral virtue.

0:27:03 > 0:27:04Oh.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06SHE CHUCKLES

0:27:06 > 0:27:09I imagine soldiers are very disciplined, too.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11When they're fighting.

0:27:11 > 0:27:12Off duty, well...

0:27:17 > 0:27:19Porthos?

0:27:19 > 0:27:20Can I ask...

0:27:24 > 0:27:26It might...

0:27:26 > 0:27:28- ..sound...- Hm?

0:27:28 > 0:27:29..strange.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35It doesn't matter.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09A year's a long time without a kiss.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14It's been a great deal longer than that.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20How he resisted you, I have no idea.

0:28:22 > 0:28:24But like I said...

0:28:25 > 0:28:27..self-discipline isn't my strong suit.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31Nor mine.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43Wrong door!

0:28:44 > 0:28:46DOOR CREAKS

0:29:23 > 0:29:26LOW CHATTER

0:29:30 > 0:29:32Ooh, hello.

0:29:32 > 0:29:34THEY CHUCKLE

0:29:34 > 0:29:35Bye-bye.

0:29:35 > 0:29:39- Entry fee? - I've earned it, believe me.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44- How did you raise the money? - Found a patron of my own.

0:29:44 > 0:29:46Oh?

0:29:46 > 0:29:49- Wealthy widow? - Not as far as I know.

0:29:50 > 0:29:54Right, gents. When you're ready.

0:30:11 > 0:30:14Come on.

0:30:14 > 0:30:15HE GUFFAWS

0:30:16 > 0:30:18PORTHOS CHUCKLES

0:30:19 > 0:30:21Come on.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31Come on!

0:30:47 > 0:30:50The wonder of it all is...

0:30:50 > 0:30:52he's not even trying.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56Remember, head over heart.

0:30:56 > 0:30:59Treville will be assessing your attitude as well as your skill.

0:31:45 > 0:31:46Hm.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51HE CHUCKLES

0:31:54 > 0:31:56GRUNTING

0:31:56 > 0:31:59GROANING

0:32:00 > 0:32:02GROANING

0:32:04 > 0:32:06You have a challenger.

0:32:12 > 0:32:15- But he's not a Red Guard. - I've just commissioned him.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28Your reputation for violence is well established.

0:32:28 > 0:32:30Now do something useful with it.

0:33:00 > 0:33:02Huargh!

0:33:09 > 0:33:11Huargh!

0:33:11 > 0:33:13- OTHERS MUTTER - Enough!

0:33:16 > 0:33:18Argh!

0:33:21 > 0:33:23No control, no pity, no remorse!

0:33:23 > 0:33:27No more humanity than a jackal.

0:33:27 > 0:33:29You're exactly what I need.

0:33:31 > 0:33:32Succeed, and you walk free.

0:33:32 > 0:33:35HE GRUNTS

0:33:35 > 0:33:38Lose, and you hang.

0:33:41 > 0:33:43GUARD GROANS

0:33:44 > 0:33:48Somebody, help this man. He doesn't look at all well.

0:33:52 > 0:33:54CROW CAWS

0:34:05 > 0:34:07BONACIEUX: A present for you, my dear.

0:34:15 > 0:34:19- We can't afford this. - We can, and more besides.

0:34:19 > 0:34:22I'm about to acquire the most desirable client imaginable.

0:34:23 > 0:34:24Who?

0:34:26 > 0:34:27Just now,

0:34:27 > 0:34:29our lives are about to change.

0:34:34 > 0:34:37I listen to all the places you've been.

0:34:38 > 0:34:43I've never travelled...more than five miles from Paris.

0:34:46 > 0:34:49Never been to London. Vienna.

0:34:52 > 0:34:54Well, it's not too late.

0:34:55 > 0:34:56You should go.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00You could come.

0:35:02 > 0:35:04Be my tour guide.

0:35:05 > 0:35:08I never had much time for sightseeing when I travelled -

0:35:08 > 0:35:11someone was always trying to kill me.

0:35:18 > 0:35:21Have you ever thought what you'd do if you weren't a soldier?

0:35:24 > 0:35:26Becoming a Musketeer...

0:35:27 > 0:35:30..was the best thing that ever happened to me.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37Until I met you.

0:35:40 > 0:35:43Flattery will get you everywhere.

0:35:50 > 0:35:52Another life is possible.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55If you want it.

0:36:23 > 0:36:25Have you lost something?

0:36:26 > 0:36:28Nothing important.

0:36:30 > 0:36:31I should go.

0:36:33 > 0:36:35Captain Treville is choosing his champion this morning.

0:36:35 > 0:36:37Of course.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39Good luck.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50D'Artagnan!

0:36:57 > 0:36:59You were right.

0:36:59 > 0:37:03I was jealous of Milady.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06Of course you had to take her money. It's just...

0:37:07 > 0:37:09Well, she's...

0:37:09 > 0:37:11so beautiful and...

0:37:13 > 0:37:15..glamorous and...

0:37:15 > 0:37:17wealthy,

0:37:17 > 0:37:19and I'm just...

0:37:21 > 0:37:23Well, I'm just...

0:37:23 > 0:37:24me.

0:37:27 > 0:37:29You...

0:37:29 > 0:37:34shine so brightly in my eyes, it puts every other woman in the shade.

0:37:35 > 0:37:37- Good answer.- I mean it.

0:37:39 > 0:37:40Look...

0:37:41 > 0:37:43..I'm going to win this competition.

0:37:45 > 0:37:47Everything will work out for us.

0:37:54 > 0:37:55Hm.

0:37:55 > 0:37:57SHE CHUCKLES

0:37:57 > 0:37:59I'll see you later.

0:38:07 > 0:38:12Choosing a champion from such a fine group of soldiers

0:38:12 > 0:38:15- is a near-impossible task. - MUSKETEER: And the winner is...

0:38:15 > 0:38:18LAUGHTER

0:38:18 > 0:38:23For that reason, I have decided that the only man

0:38:23 > 0:38:26who can fairly represent you...

0:38:28 > 0:38:31..is me.

0:38:59 > 0:39:02Was your life...so bad, Constance?

0:39:03 > 0:39:06Was I ever cruel to you? Did I beat you?

0:39:06 > 0:39:08You were never cruel...

0:39:09 > 0:39:11..and I wasn't unhappy.

0:39:13 > 0:39:16At least...I didn't know I was.

0:39:16 > 0:39:19Until d'Artagnan came here.

0:39:24 > 0:39:27I order you to break with him immediately.

0:39:32 > 0:39:35I'm sorry to cause you pain.

0:39:37 > 0:39:39But I won't give him up.

0:39:40 > 0:39:42I love him.

0:39:43 > 0:39:47End your affair, or d'Artagnan will be dead within a week.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50- What are you talking about? - I have powerful friends now.

0:39:50 > 0:39:52That new client I was talking about?

0:39:52 > 0:39:54It's the Cardinal.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58And, believe me, he hates your lover even more than I.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00Why would he kill him just on your say-so?

0:40:00 > 0:40:03Because of the plot I overheard d'Artagnan hatching,

0:40:03 > 0:40:06some attempt on the Cardinal himself.

0:40:06 > 0:40:09- Do you think he'd stop to ask questions?- You're bluffing.

0:40:09 > 0:40:11Give him up, or he dies.

0:40:11 > 0:40:13It's your choice.

0:40:17 > 0:40:19You will break his heart

0:40:19 > 0:40:23so thoroughly that he will never look at you again.

0:40:24 > 0:40:27You will make him hate you.

0:40:38 > 0:40:40This is wrong and dangerous.

0:40:40 > 0:40:43This challenge is my doing. It is my responsibility to see it through.

0:40:43 > 0:40:47Instead of giving yourself one last moment of glory,

0:40:47 > 0:40:49you should be giving d'Artagnan the chance

0:40:49 > 0:40:52to win his commission from the King.

0:40:52 > 0:40:55You think this is about glory?

0:40:55 > 0:40:58All I know is that d'Artagnan has it in him to be a fine Musketeer,

0:40:58 > 0:41:00perhaps the greatest of us all.

0:41:00 > 0:41:03But now? We'll never know,

0:41:03 > 0:41:08because you have stolen his best chance to prove it.

0:41:11 > 0:41:13DOOR SLAMS SHUT

0:41:18 > 0:41:20Treville's taken the fight himself.

0:41:23 > 0:41:28Well, then, I suppose that puts an end to your daydream.

0:41:28 > 0:41:29What do you mean?

0:41:31 > 0:41:34We're fooling ourselves, d'Artagnan.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36There's no future for us together.

0:41:36 > 0:41:38I'm a respectable...

0:41:38 > 0:41:41married woman.

0:41:41 > 0:41:43This...

0:41:43 > 0:41:46silly flirtation has to end.

0:41:46 > 0:41:47Flirtation? I love you.

0:41:47 > 0:41:49But I don't love you.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58If this is about Milady de Winter...

0:41:58 > 0:42:01You should go to her. You'll be needing a rich mistress now.

0:42:01 > 0:42:03You've got nothing.

0:42:05 > 0:42:07Perhaps Milady will look after you.

0:42:07 > 0:42:09I don't want her.

0:42:09 > 0:42:10I don't want her, I want you.

0:42:14 > 0:42:17I was tempted. I'll admit that.

0:42:19 > 0:42:21But I can't risk my future for you.

0:42:25 > 0:42:28I have far too much to lose.

0:42:30 > 0:42:33I'm sure you've made the right decision.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37I mean, what use is love compared to money?

0:42:42 > 0:42:46Thank you for helping me see things more clearly.

0:43:04 > 0:43:06SHE STIFLES A SOB

0:43:07 > 0:43:09Oh!

0:43:09 > 0:43:11SHE SOBS

0:43:31 > 0:43:33APPLAUSE

0:43:38 > 0:43:40APPLAUSE CONTINUES

0:43:48 > 0:43:50APPLAUSE FADES

0:43:50 > 0:43:52HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:43:52 > 0:43:54LOW CHATTER

0:43:54 > 0:43:56You invited your widow?

0:43:57 > 0:43:58Her name's Alice.

0:43:58 > 0:44:01You only needed 30 livres, not a wife.

0:44:01 > 0:44:04Did I say anything about marriage?

0:44:04 > 0:44:06- No.- My God.

0:44:07 > 0:44:09You're actually considering it?

0:44:09 > 0:44:11There is a life beyond the Musketeers, you know.

0:44:11 > 0:44:14Well, one thing I've learned.

0:44:14 > 0:44:16Never put your trust in love.

0:44:18 > 0:44:24The Musketeer champion, the famous warrior, Captain Treville!

0:44:24 > 0:44:26APPLAUSE

0:44:28 > 0:44:31- Good luck, Captain. - Good luck, sir.

0:44:31 > 0:44:34LOW CHATTER

0:44:35 > 0:44:38My old fox will see off your man, Cardinal.

0:44:38 > 0:44:42And representing the Red Guard, their champion,

0:44:42 > 0:44:44Captain Labarge!

0:44:46 > 0:44:49APPLAUSE CONTINUES

0:44:49 > 0:44:51This is some sort of sick joke.

0:44:51 > 0:44:53Well, the Captain isn't surprised.

0:44:55 > 0:44:57He knew.

0:44:57 > 0:44:59Well, this is highly irregular.

0:44:59 > 0:45:02Shouldn't he be in the Bastille?

0:45:02 > 0:45:05Oh, I'm a great believer in rehabilitation, Sire.

0:45:05 > 0:45:09Labarge is now a commissioned officer in the Red Guards.

0:45:09 > 0:45:13The shooting and wrestling rounds have been waived!

0:45:13 > 0:45:17The contest will be settled in favour of the superior swordsman!

0:45:33 > 0:45:34GRUNTING

0:45:36 > 0:45:38Huargh! Huargh!

0:45:38 > 0:45:40Yaah! Huargh! Huargh!

0:45:40 > 0:45:43LABARGE LAUGHS

0:45:50 > 0:45:52That is hardly within the rules, Cardinal.

0:45:52 > 0:45:56Sorry, Your Majesty. I wasn't aware that there were any rules.

0:46:00 > 0:46:02Come on!

0:46:08 > 0:46:10Aaargh! Aaah!

0:46:52 > 0:46:55Treville is defeated. The fight is over.

0:47:07 > 0:47:08Stop!

0:47:12 > 0:47:13HE GROANS

0:47:14 > 0:47:17Your man broke the rules, Cardinal.

0:47:19 > 0:47:23Captain Treville may nominate another champion, if he wishes.

0:47:33 > 0:47:37I nominate d'Artagnan to take my place.

0:47:41 > 0:47:44My little friend from the Bastille?

0:47:44 > 0:47:48You look even more pathetic in the daylight.

0:47:48 > 0:47:50I'm going to enjoy this.

0:47:50 > 0:47:52Somehow I doubt it.

0:48:03 > 0:48:05Is that the best you've got?

0:48:08 > 0:48:11GRUNTING

0:48:18 > 0:48:21I wish I could remember burning down your farm!

0:48:21 > 0:48:23It would make killing you a lot sweeter!

0:48:40 > 0:48:42That's for the people of Gascony.

0:48:46 > 0:48:48LOW CHATTER

0:48:57 > 0:49:00Bravo, d'Artagnan.

0:49:04 > 0:49:06the winners.

0:49:10 > 0:49:11APPLAUSE CONTINUES

0:49:11 > 0:49:14Ah, yes, now, the prize money is forfeit to the Treasury.

0:49:14 > 0:49:16After all, the rules were broken.

0:49:16 > 0:49:19We do need to collect our taxes somehow.

0:49:19 > 0:49:21LOW CHATTER

0:49:21 > 0:49:24It's 2,000 livres I think you said, Cardinal.

0:49:33 > 0:49:36You defended your captain with great heroism today.

0:49:36 > 0:49:40I admire loyalty more than any other virtue.

0:49:41 > 0:49:42Please kneel.

0:49:43 > 0:49:46Get on your knees before he changes his mind.

0:49:59 > 0:50:05I hereby commission you into my regiment of Musketeers.

0:50:18 > 0:50:20May you serve it always

0:50:20 > 0:50:24with the same distinction that I witnessed today.

0:50:39 > 0:50:40HE CHUCKLES

0:50:46 > 0:50:49Well done, d'Artagnan. I'm proud to have you under my command.

0:50:49 > 0:50:52Thank you.

0:50:52 > 0:50:54Thank you so much.

0:50:54 > 0:50:58LOW CHATTER AND PEACOCK CRIES

0:51:02 > 0:51:05- RICHELIEU:- Whose side were you on?

0:51:06 > 0:51:08I'm curious.

0:51:10 > 0:51:12Yours, of course.

0:51:12 > 0:51:14Really?

0:51:16 > 0:51:20So, er...why provide the funds for d'Artagnan's involvement?

0:51:20 > 0:51:22Have you been spying on me?

0:51:22 > 0:51:24I need to know who my true friends are, Milady.

0:51:24 > 0:51:26Or should I call you

0:51:26 > 0:51:28Comtesse de la Fere?

0:51:28 > 0:51:32Did you really think I wouldn't find out about your marriage to Athos?

0:51:34 > 0:51:37- Explain yourself.- If you wish to see the Musketeers destroyed,

0:51:37 > 0:51:40d'Artagnan is the key.

0:51:40 > 0:51:43I'm plotting to bring him over to our side.

0:51:43 > 0:51:46And do you seriously believe that he can be turned after this?

0:51:46 > 0:51:50You underestimate my powers of seduction.

0:51:50 > 0:51:55For your sake, Milady, I hope you're as persuasive as you think.

0:51:56 > 0:51:59I'm sorry you had to see that.

0:51:59 > 0:52:01I've never seen real violence before.

0:52:01 > 0:52:02It opened my eyes.

0:52:05 > 0:52:07That's your life, isn't it?

0:52:10 > 0:52:12I don't enjoy killing, Alice,

0:52:12 > 0:52:15- but I do what I have to do. - I understand.

0:52:17 > 0:52:21But...that life is foreign to me.

0:52:23 > 0:52:25I thought you wanted more excitement.

0:52:26 > 0:52:28Not that much.

0:52:35 > 0:52:37I could never give up soldiering.

0:52:41 > 0:52:43And I could never be a soldier's wife.

0:52:44 > 0:52:46I wish it could be different.

0:52:52 > 0:52:54I'm so happy I met you.

0:52:57 > 0:52:58Take care, Porthos.

0:53:21 > 0:53:23So...

0:53:23 > 0:53:26will you marry the lovely widow...

0:53:26 > 0:53:27Alice?

0:53:29 > 0:53:32Who would look after you if I did that, eh?

0:53:40 > 0:53:43FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:53:43 > 0:53:46I suppose you'll live at the garrison?

0:53:47 > 0:53:49It's my home now.

0:53:49 > 0:53:53I hope you enjoy your respectable life.

0:54:05 > 0:54:07MAN: Whoa.

0:54:13 > 0:54:15Thank you...for your patronage.

0:54:15 > 0:54:18I knew I'd spotted a great talent.

0:54:19 > 0:54:21Can I offer you a lift?

0:54:28 > 0:54:30SHE STIFLES A SOBS

0:54:40 > 0:54:43Another time, perhaps.

0:54:47 > 0:54:50WHIP CRACKS AND HORSE WHINNIES

0:55:00 > 0:55:01Your Majesty!

0:55:01 > 0:55:03We'll lead through the forest, lose them in the trees.

0:55:03 > 0:55:07The Musketeers will protect Anne. They will not allow any harm to come to her!

0:55:07 > 0:55:10- RICHELIEU:- Can your men hold the convent long enough for rescue to arrive?

0:55:10 > 0:55:11GUNSHOTS

0:55:11 > 0:55:14ANNE: Surely I'm safer with you than in the care of unarmed nuns.

0:55:14 > 0:55:16- MOTHER SUPERIOR:- Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands

0:55:16 > 0:55:18to fight and my fingers to battle.

0:55:18 > 0:55:22- Ain't this better than trying to escape?- Ask me again in two minutes.

0:55:24 > 0:55:26GALLAGHER: One of us will die. That's certain.

0:55:26 > 0:55:27It is done.
