0:00:49 > 0:00:54and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04and his kingdom was full of darkness.

0:01:06 > 0:01:07No.

0:01:46 > 0:01:52# I'm the king of my own land

0:01:56 > 0:02:00# Facing tempests of dust

0:02:00 > 0:02:05# I'll fight until the end

0:02:26 > 0:02:34# I'm your king. #

0:03:04 > 0:03:06His humours are out of balance.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Majesty, you must drink this, it will help you sleep.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14It's a herbal cordial.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17It will allay your pain and procure you rest.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21Laudanum, saffron, and bruised cloves.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Majesty, I beg you to heed the counsel

0:03:23 > 0:03:25of your most trusted medical advisers.

0:03:31 > 0:03:32What do you say?

0:03:37 > 0:03:38Have you ever had a fever?

0:03:42 > 0:03:43I have, Your Majesty.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45What measures did you take?

0:03:48 > 0:03:50To permit my body to cure itself,

0:03:50 > 0:03:52it was necessary to purge.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57There is a herb. Sagewort.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Sweet wormwood, by another name.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Fetch your remedy.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14But quickly, and with a calm air.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18No-one must know of His Majesty's condition.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Sire.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51There is love in your future.

0:04:51 > 0:04:52Twice as much as you might think.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55HE SNORTS.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57I'm off to water the garden.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03I think that's a no.

0:05:09 > 0:05:10Ahh.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14HE COUGHS.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25You did not respond to my last message.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31To be perfectly honest, it didn't seem very pressing.

0:05:31 > 0:05:32It was a busy week.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36Fail me again, and your next piss will be sitting down.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39You have my full attention.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47Read and follow to the letter.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Don't breathe.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Were you raised in a cattle shed?

0:06:21 > 0:06:22What on earth do you think you're doing?

0:06:22 > 0:06:24You must come at once.

0:06:24 > 0:06:25The King's Circle.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Wake my wife. Do it now.

0:06:35 > 0:06:43MOANING

0:07:11 > 0:07:14What do you think you'll see the moment before the end?

0:07:18 > 0:07:20The face of my enemy.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29I've always dreamed the same dream.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32I'm in a great avenue of evergreens,

0:07:34 > 0:07:36sitting in wet grass,

0:07:38 > 0:07:41gazing through the pine cones at a canopy of sky.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Then, if I were you, I would stay indoors.

0:07:44 > 0:07:45SHE LAUGHS

0:07:46 > 0:07:48KNOCK ON DOOR

0:07:55 > 0:07:56Speak.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58The King's Circle.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00KNOCK ON DOOR

0:08:05 > 0:08:08RUNNING FOOTSTEPS

0:08:09 > 0:08:11I must speak to you in private.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13You're still drunk. It can wait.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15I do not think you understand the gravity of my need.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Every need of yours weighs exactly the same.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24A great tide is stirring.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28It pertains to your future in the court.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Your place at its centre.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37Go to bed. Please.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Philippe. Philippe!

0:08:47 > 0:08:52In the King's book of names, you will find a circle of trust,

0:08:52 > 0:08:56a list of those he believes in his heart are the most loyal,

0:08:56 > 0:08:58faithful and true.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02You are the names on that list.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06This circle of trust will not be broken.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09We all know, here, what is at stake.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11How is my king?

0:09:13 > 0:09:16The fever is consuming him.

0:09:17 > 0:09:22Protocol now demands we begin work on the issue of succession.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24I will not hear it!

0:09:33 > 0:09:36He is stronger than a malady. Stronger than 100 fevers.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38Not this one, clearly.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40I'm sure he's much comforted by your words.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43My king values expediency over sympathy.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47As we hope for the best, we must, nevertheless, plan for the worst.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Where did this distemper come from?

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Are we sure it is not poison?

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Whatever the cause, I will root it out.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56I hope you will be more successful.

0:09:56 > 0:09:57More?

0:09:57 > 0:10:00When a sick man gained simple access to the King,

0:10:00 > 0:10:01I did not call it victory.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03The Dauphin is the direct successor,

0:10:03 > 0:10:06but would require a regent.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09I would argue a young king requires a council of elders,

0:10:09 > 0:10:11men with true experience of government.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14The protocol is clear. If the King...

0:10:14 > 0:10:15Do not say it.

0:10:19 > 0:10:20..dies...

0:10:21 > 0:10:25or, if he is incapable of exercising his duties,

0:10:25 > 0:10:28a Regent shall be appointed.

0:10:28 > 0:10:29Who?

0:10:33 > 0:10:35That is the choice before us.

0:10:42 > 0:10:43What is the news?

0:10:43 > 0:10:45We did not see the King at Mass,

0:10:45 > 0:10:47and you know how people gossip around here.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Hunting accident.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Broke his leg, it will take weeks.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Your Majesty, please.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55Rumours are flying around the court.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57To know the truth might make it easier to stop them.

0:10:57 > 0:10:58Why such secrecy?

0:11:01 > 0:11:02So that rumours do not start.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06- What would happen if...? - There is no "if".

0:11:07 > 0:11:09He will be well.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Yes, of course.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41Jezebel.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43CRASH

0:11:46 > 0:11:48- Delilah.- Stop it!

0:11:52 > 0:11:55You may have shaved my seven locks

0:11:55 > 0:11:57and sold me to the Philistines,

0:11:57 > 0:11:59but I'm not yet on my knees.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37If the King's hair hurts, perhaps it was the wine last night.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40I know they say, "Eat the fur of the beast that bit you,"

0:12:40 > 0:12:42but who wants a mouthful of fluff for breakfast?

0:12:45 > 0:12:49Did I speak out of turn? Come, now!

0:12:49 > 0:12:51How is our king?

0:12:55 > 0:12:58Ugh, please, speak. Why all the secrecy?

0:13:00 > 0:13:01Speak!

0:13:08 > 0:13:09You must vow to me.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13On my father's life.

0:13:13 > 0:13:14Your father's dead.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16- My mother, then. - Forget it.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18- HE SIGHS - I cannot help my tongue.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Please, I see you distressed...

0:13:21 > 0:13:23and it pains me.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28Allow me to share your burden.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Speak.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36My brother is very sick.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38Well, I always said you'd make a marvellous king.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Stop.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45So, you're serious. Goodness.

0:13:45 > 0:13:46He's gravely ill...

0:13:48 > 0:13:51and if he were to die, it might be possible...

0:13:53 > 0:13:54that I would be Regent.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00God in heaven.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02I had no idea.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04Not a word. To anyone.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07This is a testing time, but I know, with you by my side,

0:14:09 > 0:14:11I can overcome anything.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Yes. Of course.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20Now, I must have air. Come with me. Please.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23I cannot, I have to, um...think.

0:14:25 > 0:14:29Very well. He is in my prayers... as are you.

0:14:51 > 0:14:55What did you mean when you said, "A great tide is stirring"?

0:14:58 > 0:14:59Did I say that?

0:14:59 > 0:15:00Hmm.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Must have still been drunk.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22HE COUGHS

0:16:28 > 0:16:29Father?

0:16:31 > 0:16:32Father!

0:16:44 > 0:16:46Help me. Help me, please, he's dying!

0:16:49 > 0:16:51- What happened? - I don't know.

0:16:55 > 0:16:56You must come.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00The King!

0:17:00 > 0:17:01He will perish.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05As will your King!

0:17:08 > 0:17:11Save your father or save France. The choice is yours.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Guard, where is the king?

0:17:26 > 0:17:28His Majesty ordered my eyes to the door...

0:17:28 > 0:17:30but he had not yet ordered them back.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33Stay here.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40MUTTERING

0:17:40 > 0:17:41Move.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43Move!

0:17:52 > 0:17:53Shut the doors.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00Close all the shutters.

0:18:19 > 0:18:23Ah, there you are. I cannot decide whether this will be

0:18:23 > 0:18:26a courante, a sarabande or a passacaille.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28You must return to bed, sir.

0:18:28 > 0:18:29Your doctors have...

0:18:29 > 0:18:31I have created a new dance, Bontemps,

0:18:31 > 0:18:34and I wish my court to perform it.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Very well, sir. - Everyone must learn it immediately.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41Bring me pen and paper...

0:18:41 > 0:18:43and the gardener.

0:18:43 > 0:18:44A gardener?

0:18:44 > 0:18:46Yes, my gardener, Jacques.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49He lost his hand at Malines. Bring him here.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54I see this dance unfolding in a garden.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56An orangerie full of blossom.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04I did not see you at our recent ballet.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07I dance as commanded by you, sir.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09Then do so now.

0:19:09 > 0:19:13Dance for me. Now. Follow me.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17First, a balance.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19Twice going forward...

0:19:19 > 0:19:22and then a pas de bourree.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25Then another balance, going backwards,

0:19:25 > 0:19:28Then another pas de bourree.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30Pom, pom...

0:19:30 > 0:19:32Pom, pom, pom...

0:19:32 > 0:19:37If these are your steps, sire, then your dance is a passacaille.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47You are a man of quality, Bontemps...

0:19:50 > 0:19:52..and I do not trust you.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55I do not trust you at all.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57- Sire...- I do not know this man!

0:19:57 > 0:20:00Your Majesty, please...

0:20:00 > 0:20:03Where is my gardener? I need him!

0:20:03 > 0:20:04Bring me Jacques!

0:20:04 > 0:20:07Guards! Bring me Jacques!

0:20:07 > 0:20:11Please, bring me Jacques! They mean to kill me!

0:20:11 > 0:20:13They're going to kill me! Bring me Jacques!

0:20:13 > 0:20:17Water for the King!

0:20:19 > 0:20:21My gardener will know what to do.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23Shh.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Shh-shh.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39His fever grows stronger.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41DOOR OPENS

0:20:41 > 0:20:46Your Majesty, the gardener.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58Tell me a story about my father.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04Your mother suckled him long before you...

0:21:05 > 0:21:09..which makes you milk-brothers, does it not?

0:21:13 > 0:21:15A story, then.

0:21:19 > 0:21:25Many years ago, an emissary from Japan visited our shores.

0:21:25 > 0:21:29He brought a gift from China for your father.

0:21:29 > 0:21:36An ancient text that he said that every general

0:21:36 > 0:21:39in the Emperor's army had read.

0:21:39 > 0:21:45The text was called The Art Of War.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50And so the story went around the Palace

0:21:50 > 0:21:54of this most vital maxim...

0:21:56 > 0:22:01"Appear weak when you are strong,

0:22:01 > 0:22:04"and strong when you are weak."

0:22:10 > 0:22:13HE COUGHS

0:22:16 > 0:22:17Out.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Out, out!

0:22:41 > 0:22:45HE PRAYS IN LATIN

0:23:48 > 0:23:51Yes! Madame de Clermont.

0:23:54 > 0:23:59Forgive me. I'd always assumed your office

0:23:59 > 0:24:02- was in the East Wing. - It is.

0:24:02 > 0:24:05Well, as promised, Monsieur Colbert,

0:24:05 > 0:24:07our proof of noble heritage.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10Oh!

0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Good, I will review it in due course.- Good day.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27RETCHING

0:24:27 > 0:24:29COUGHING

0:24:35 > 0:24:38We cannot leave the King's health in the hands of a child.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40Hardly a child.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42My brother should be in Paris.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44I have readied mine own carriage.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47I'll take him there myself to recuperate.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49- He cannot travel. - An hour, at the most.

0:24:49 > 0:24:50It could kill him.

0:24:52 > 0:24:57It is this palace that is killing him.

0:25:17 > 0:25:22I was just in the laundry, and I found this in one of the pockets.

0:25:22 > 0:25:26The same shapes, like you have in your book.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31Don't go anywhere.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37A meeting is planned...for today.

0:25:37 > 0:25:41- Is my horse ready? - Fed and watered this morning.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43You've done well.

0:26:01 > 0:26:02There's no-one here.

0:26:02 > 0:26:06Yes, I noticed that myself.

0:26:25 > 0:26:30Cassel. We're risking our lives being here.

0:26:30 > 0:26:34I had to conceal my horse half a mile away.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37You're one to talk. Why the urgency?

0:26:37 > 0:26:40You are not the author of this?

0:26:55 > 0:26:59It appears we are not the only ones bound by our intent.

0:26:59 > 0:27:03Which is what, exactly?

0:27:05 > 0:27:06Revolution.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11This is a monumental risk.

0:27:11 > 0:27:15What if these communications were intercepted or deciphered?

0:27:15 > 0:27:18They have been deciphered.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20Then our location is known?

0:27:20 > 0:27:24Once the Codex is broken, it offers opportunity.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27I wrote a new message and made sure it was found.

0:27:27 > 0:27:31It proposes a rendezvous today on the other side of Paris,

0:27:31 > 0:27:33so we are quite safe where we are.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37Cousin?

0:27:43 > 0:27:45A great moment is upon us.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47The King has a fever. His sickness grows.

0:27:47 > 0:27:51We must plan quickly in this moment for our future.

0:27:51 > 0:27:57We have powerful and wealthy friends - some already at court,

0:27:57 > 0:28:01others, abroad, are watching very closely.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04All of them standing ready to help.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11A message of support from the Dutch Republic.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13A new Captain General is rising in power.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16William of Orange will soon be Stadtholder,

0:28:16 > 0:28:18Commander of the Armies and Admiral of the Sea,

0:28:18 > 0:28:22and he vows, here, to support who would move against Louis.

0:28:22 > 0:28:27Not just with words, but with money, materials,

0:28:27 > 0:28:30influence and arms.

0:28:31 > 0:28:33Well, I think I've heard enough for one day,

0:28:33 > 0:28:35thank you for the puppet show.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38Chevalier de Lorraine, do not confuse the woman have known

0:28:38 > 0:28:41that the new see now. A gathering in Paris awaits you.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43Canvass your supporters there.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46We know there are many.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49COUGHING

0:29:59 > 0:30:01The fever has broken.

0:30:05 > 0:30:08The court must know nothing about my condition.

0:30:08 > 0:30:12Surely...your brother must be informed?

0:30:12 > 0:30:15Close all the doors. Do it now.

0:30:57 > 0:30:59The issue of Regent remains.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01We know your position, of course.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15Will no-one vouch for me?

0:31:15 > 0:31:19It is not you who lack merit, your Highness.

0:31:19 > 0:31:23Our concerns lie instead on those who would place themselves around you.

0:31:23 > 0:31:27Ah. Why don't you just say his name?

0:31:29 > 0:31:35We need someone whose behaviour is more becoming of a monarch.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37Someone who is his own man.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40I hope I make myself clear.

0:31:42 > 0:31:44Perfectly.

0:31:44 > 0:31:49Her Majesty and Monsieur Colbert would, to my mind,

0:31:49 > 0:31:52ensure a resilient transition.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22Then it is settled.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36What are you doing?

0:32:36 > 0:32:39All this rumour makes a man giddy.

0:32:39 > 0:32:44I'm going to Paris for a few days to...un-giddy myself.

0:32:44 > 0:32:46HE CLICKS HIS FINGERS

0:32:49 > 0:32:52You told me you thought I would make a great king.

0:32:52 > 0:32:54And you would.

0:32:56 > 0:33:00This is not idle chat. What are you up to?

0:33:03 > 0:33:06- You made a vow to me. - And I kept it.

0:33:09 > 0:33:11Then be truthful in return.

0:33:19 > 0:33:23Have you been hiding under a rock these past few months?

0:33:23 > 0:33:26We are on the verge of great change.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28There are whispers, growing louder every day,

0:33:28 > 0:33:32that people are tired of the way things are.

0:33:32 > 0:33:36They wish to see a change - one that would not deny the monarchy,

0:33:36 > 0:33:38but rather share in its burden.

0:33:38 > 0:33:41You can see it in your brother even now.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44One man cannot rule the land.

0:33:45 > 0:33:47He's drowning in it...

0:33:48 > 0:33:50..and you are the man to save him.

0:33:50 > 0:33:52You tread a dangerous path.

0:33:52 > 0:33:57I say the only danger is smelling smoke and not acknowledging a fire is burning.

0:33:57 > 0:34:01- You side with the nobles? - I side with you.

0:34:01 > 0:34:04Just as the soldiers side with you.

0:34:06 > 0:34:07Would you side with me?

0:34:12 > 0:34:14You cannot know what you are asking.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16I know exactly what I'm asking.

0:34:19 > 0:34:22Until death forces my hand...

0:34:25 > 0:34:27..I cannot answer.

0:34:29 > 0:34:33Very well. But know this...

0:34:33 > 0:34:38our future has changed, no matter what happens now.

0:34:41 > 0:34:43My cloak!

0:34:51 > 0:34:55Sire, we rejoice at your recovery.

0:34:55 > 0:34:59Send my tailors, I want some new clothes.

0:34:59 > 0:35:01As for the rest of my court,

0:35:01 > 0:35:04this is the only message that I wish to convey.

0:35:25 > 0:35:27I am saddened to report

0:35:27 > 0:35:30that the King's health has not improved.

0:35:30 > 0:35:34He awakened before breakfast and has passed on instructions

0:35:34 > 0:35:38that government continue under his word.

0:35:38 > 0:35:41But how can he make decisions in such a condition?

0:35:41 > 0:35:45The king wishes that France be informed immediately

0:35:45 > 0:35:49of his condition so they might offer their prayers.

0:35:49 > 0:35:51- Has- he said anything?

0:35:52 > 0:35:53He has.

0:35:56 > 0:35:59He would have the court learn a new dance.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07A dance?

0:36:07 > 0:36:12It has one he has composed himself in his moments of peace.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17To raise our spirits.

0:36:17 > 0:36:20In anticipation of his recovery.

0:36:22 > 0:36:27Colbert, tell Monsieur Lully to create a melody.

0:37:15 > 0:37:17SQUELCHING AND CRUNCHING

0:37:25 > 0:37:27SHE SOBS

0:38:07 > 0:38:09Your sacrifice will not be forgotten.

0:38:12 > 0:38:14My deepest sympathy for your loss.

0:38:21 > 0:38:24I now know my replacement for your father.

0:38:29 > 0:38:31What is his name?

0:38:32 > 0:38:34I only know that he stands before me now.

0:38:38 > 0:38:41You will find many who oppose you, who would rather I had chosen

0:38:41 > 0:38:43someone from my circle of physicians.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47But you must be deaf to their judgements.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52Will you accept the position?

0:38:52 > 0:38:55I need not remind you that, if the answer is yes,

0:38:55 > 0:38:57there is no going back.

0:38:58 > 0:39:01Your life as you know it will be changed for ever.

0:39:09 > 0:39:10I accept.

0:39:11 > 0:39:12Then it is yours.

0:39:23 > 0:39:24Medicine is a fine career.

0:39:30 > 0:39:32Send for Mademoiselle de la Valliere.

0:40:02 > 0:40:05Where's Chevalier? I haven't seen him all day.

0:40:05 > 0:40:08He rides to Paris. A gathering of nobles.

0:40:08 > 0:40:09Does he, indeed?

0:40:11 > 0:40:12What are you doing?

0:40:12 > 0:40:14Did you not hear?

0:40:14 > 0:40:17The King has a new dance and expects us all to learn it.

0:41:13 > 0:41:15DOOR OPENS

0:41:18 > 0:41:19What are you doing here?

0:41:19 > 0:41:21I came to collect a letter for Madame de la Rochefoucauld.

0:41:21 > 0:41:25- This has her chamber, isn't it? - No, this is Madame de Clermont.

0:41:25 > 0:41:28Madame de la Rochefoucauld is down the hallway.

0:41:28 > 0:41:30Oh, my goodness, I'm so sorry.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32- Excuse me, Mademoiselle.- Wait!

0:41:42 > 0:41:43I hoped you might stay here.

0:41:45 > 0:41:48That you might think of this as home.

0:41:48 > 0:41:49I cannot.

0:41:52 > 0:41:54Not even for your children?

0:41:54 > 0:41:59For their sakes and for mine, I must show contrition for my life.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06You may go.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14SHE GASPS

0:42:14 > 0:42:15Thank you.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18Majesty, thank you with all my heart.

0:42:20 > 0:42:22Arrangements will be made.

0:42:26 > 0:42:27SHE LAUGHS

0:42:38 > 0:42:40Mother, I have missed you.

0:42:40 > 0:42:43Every time I try and look for you, I am being rushed back to my lady.

0:42:43 > 0:42:46Your duty to me is to do well with her.

0:42:46 > 0:42:49Do not pay me the slightest thought.

0:42:49 > 0:42:51I found a chambermaid in your room.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53A chambermaid?

0:42:53 > 0:42:56Yes, she was looking for a letter from Madame de la Rochefoucauld,

0:42:56 > 0:42:58but ended up in your room by accident.

0:43:25 > 0:43:26I went to the chapel.

0:43:26 > 0:43:29Cassel was in conversation with a number of new nobles,

0:43:29 > 0:43:32including Anjou, Poitier...

0:43:32 > 0:43:34- Who else?- Madame de Clermont.

0:43:36 > 0:43:41HE SIGHS: So, since the court became aware of the King's condition,

0:43:41 > 0:43:45conversations between these individuals have increased markedly.

0:43:45 > 0:43:48Anjou and Poitiers too, you say?

0:43:48 > 0:43:49Both to Cassel.

0:43:53 > 0:43:54I checked with the stables.

0:43:54 > 0:43:57Both Poitiers and Anjou are riding to Paris.

0:43:57 > 0:44:00Ah, they are not the only ones.

0:44:01 > 0:44:04Chevalier de Lorraine also reached Paris this morning.

0:44:10 > 0:44:12- About Madame de Clermont...- Later!

0:44:15 > 0:44:16Where are you going?

0:44:20 > 0:44:21DOOR SLAMS

0:44:21 > 0:44:26Christ Jesus, life eternal in the bosom of the father...

0:44:52 > 0:44:54My God!

0:44:57 > 0:44:59I was told you were dying.

0:45:00 > 0:45:02I was, but then I recovered.

0:45:05 > 0:45:06You did not think to tell me?

0:45:06 > 0:45:09- I told no-one. - Why would you do that?

0:45:09 > 0:45:12So I might see who it is upon whom I might truly depend.

0:45:13 > 0:45:15You did not include me.

0:45:15 > 0:45:17I did not.

0:45:19 > 0:45:21You do not trust own brother, then?

0:45:21 > 0:45:23I do not trust the company he keeps.

0:45:25 > 0:45:30The Chevalier may seem blithe and glib, but he has a backbone.

0:45:30 > 0:45:33Truly, brother, I only wish you saw what I do.

0:45:33 > 0:45:35He's a man of honour.

0:45:35 > 0:45:39You are blind to his failings and dumb to his faults.

0:45:39 > 0:45:41You cannot say such things.

0:45:41 > 0:45:43A conspiracy in Paris was uncovered.

0:45:43 > 0:45:47The nobles plotting against me as I lay in my fever bed.

0:45:47 > 0:45:50The Chevalier is a ringleader.

0:45:50 > 0:45:52All of them will be arrested.

0:45:52 > 0:45:54Impossible.

0:45:54 > 0:45:57- He's no conspirator.- Very true.

0:45:57 > 0:46:00He's a traitor, and will be treated as such.

0:46:52 > 0:46:56And when your neck is on the block, do you know what he will say to you?

0:49:19 > 0:49:21A love potion.

0:49:21 > 0:49:24When I look at you, I need nothing else.
