0:00:22 > 0:00:26The church may have rejected me, but they cannot take away my faith.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30So can you answer my wishes?
0:00:30 > 0:00:35Our Lord's strength is in harnessing nature.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37I cannot go against the natural order.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39But I only want what is right.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43In his soul, he desires me more than anything.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Such feelings can only be secured
0:00:52 > 0:00:55if the subject is deserving of your love.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02I would sacrifice my life for him.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06That should not be necessary.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28But this world is no place for her.

0:01:45 > 0:01:51Now. There are certain duties you need to perform before the ritual.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Certain rites to be observed.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I'm not sure if I'm ready for this.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58You think this is a market place?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00You think I am some simple merchant?
0:02:00 > 0:02:04You think there's some sort of a take-it-or-leave-it service to be dabbled in?
0:02:06 > 0:02:11Devote your life to his service and your wishes will be granted.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Now place your hand on the holy book...
0:02:18 > 0:02:21or don't - and leave your fate
0:02:21 > 0:02:24at the mercy of the prevailing wind.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05Sorry to break your hearts, gentlemen.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08But it looks like I am victorious once again.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14I'm just going to take my winnings and leave.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17It's a lot of coins. I'm so sorry.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21It was a pleasure, gentleman, as always.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Excuse me.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27HE GIGGLES
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Lucky at cards, unlucky in love.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33So far.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35You have the magic touch.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37We make quite a team.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42I'd call that a HANDSOME morning's work.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53It's a convincing charade.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58It's easier when my orders overlap with my hobbies.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01At any rate, he seems to be falling for your charms.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03I have yet to meet a man that doesn't.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Make sure you have his trust.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08We can then choose a moment to abuse it.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I must admit I'm impressed, dear brother.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14You set a fine example on how to deny your passion
0:05:14 > 0:05:15in the service of your duty.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Where were you?
0:05:27 > 0:05:31What business is it of yours?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33You're fucking him, aren't you?
0:05:33 > 0:05:37We devised a deft game at cheating at the card-table.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41That hardly constitutes consummation.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44See?
0:05:44 > 0:05:45You can't even deny it.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I want to know exactly what you've been up to.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51You're drunk.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Don't patronise me.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56There are bigger things going on here.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59You have no idea what this is about.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02The whole fucking salon knows what's going on.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Do you have to rub my nose in it?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12It's complicated. I can't explain it right now.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Maybe this'll help you find the right words.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26You dare threaten me?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29No.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32I have a much better idea.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35You're bluffing. You don't even know how to load it properly.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42HE SOBS
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Do you really want to know how much I feel for you?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Do you want to know what's really in my heart?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Let me show you.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01I don't recognise you any more.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05You stay away from me.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17I'm at prayer, Bontemps.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Sire, I insist you come with me.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Monsieur Louvois awaits you in the council room.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Regarding what?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28A messenger has just arrived from the Palatinate.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35We have killed hundreds.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Possibly more.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40And how many were soldiers?
0:08:40 > 0:08:44None, Sire. They were all unarmed civilians.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Our troops? Loyal, professional Frenchmen
0:08:48 > 0:08:51have slaughtered innocent women and children?
0:08:51 > 0:08:55They were out of control. Drunk. Rampaging.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59They looted, butchered, raped.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03They say the world has never witnessed such barbarity.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Turenne is a man of restraint. How could this happen?
0:09:09 > 0:09:13He claims, Sire, he had his king's blessing.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19He's lost all reason.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23War has destroyed his mind, eroded his judgment.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24It would seem so, Sire.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27The Elector Palatinate was our staunch ally.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32No more, Sire. He has joined William of Orange against us.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43I must seek guidance from above.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Ours is a God of wroth and we have angered him much already.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59Would His Majesty share this news with the Princess Palatine?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01She will find out soon enough.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04If she has not heard already.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14What of your family?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Some are unaccounted for.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I have cousins and childhood friends living in the heartland.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26So they might have survived.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29They say your forces killed everyone in sight.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38My country will never be the same again.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51My brother's actions have nothing to do with me.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03I'm sorry.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I am married to the family that has destroyed my people.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Everybody out!
0:11:16 > 0:11:19There are conventions to be observed, sir.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20I don't give a shit. Tell them to leave.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23I don't think that's apt.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24If you don't, I will.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26You cannot overrule the king.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30I have things to say that can only be heard by those who shared
0:11:30 > 0:11:32a bloody womb.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Go on, get out! Or do you defy your king's brother?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Must you live your entire life in a melodrama?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49You are a monster.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53What you did in the Palatinate makes you no better than a common killer.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Every war involves regrettable casualties.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Not the mass slaughter of innocent people!
0:11:58 > 0:12:00There are rules, boundaries.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Basic human decency!
0:12:02 > 0:12:06I was here at Versailles. These events were outside my control.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11Of course. It's always someone else's fault, isn't it?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13You've never said sorry in your entire life.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Turenne was acting on his own initiative.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18This butchery could not have happened without your consent.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20You're as guilty as he is!
0:12:20 > 0:12:22What am I supposed to do?
0:12:22 > 0:12:23I have a spy in my palace,
0:12:23 > 0:12:28my troops are in retreat and half of Europe has vowed to destroy me.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32You have blood on your hands, brother.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Maybe that's your true legacy.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44You don't want to be loved,
0:12:44 > 0:12:45you want to be feared.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55THUNDER RUMBLES
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Why am I still being tortured?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I cannot say, Sire.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19I've crushed all carnal thoughts, I've acknowledged my errors,
0:13:19 > 0:13:23yet still God is punishing me with this massacre.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25I've done everything in my power to please him.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28What else can I do?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31To pray is the only solution, Sire.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37All answers will come to you through Him.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54Hardly the first bastard child to be disposed of without ceremony.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I cannot talk now, I have matins.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30God can wait. I'm here on behalf of the king.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Tell me about the church's refuge Saint Genevieve.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38An institution for lost souls.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42They take the children of whores.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Such charity is misplaced.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Sinners must pay their own debts.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48The church has no such place.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51How can you be sure?
0:14:51 > 0:14:56Because I have authority over all France. That includes you.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Do you know a priest in Paris, Father Etienne?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02No, I do not.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Etienne...
0:15:13 > 0:15:15..Guibourg?
0:15:20 > 0:15:26If Guibourg is at large in Paris, you must stop him.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Quickly.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53You requested my counsel, Majesty?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57As a woman of experience,
0:15:57 > 0:16:00I thought you might understand the nuances of modern life.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06I wish to become a better lover for my husband.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09The profound love of wedlock can only come through God, Majesty.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14How would you characterise your marriage?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19My late husband was very busy with his work.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23He wasn't one for... physical prowess.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Hmm.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30Although occasionally, my husband seemed to find me
0:16:30 > 0:16:33irresistible after I bathed in aromatic oils.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Aromatic oils?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I beg your pardon, Your Majesty.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Solange, that won't be necessary.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Indeed, I had a favour to ask of you.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49I understand you and a certain lady...are no longer close friends.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54To compensate for your loss, I would like you to become mine.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I am honoured.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59I want you to feign friendship and keep a discreet eye on her for me.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Madame de Montespan?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Don't mention that name in my presence again.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Yes, Majesty.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07I don't trust that harlot to keep her distance.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11If she sets another fragrant foot near the king, I will make her pay.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Is that quite clear?
0:17:15 > 0:17:21"That the friendship and love of the king may be assured to me,
0:17:21 > 0:17:26"that I may be honoured by all the Court,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29"that my lover deny me nothing I ask."
0:17:34 > 0:17:36So I just have to read it?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Guibourg will explain the rest.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46You must follow his instructions precisely.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53You seem troubled, pretty one.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I do not like going against the teachings of Rome.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01The Church.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07The Church likes to believe there was nothing of spiritual
0:18:07 > 0:18:09worth before Christ.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14They try to deny the ancient wisdom.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17They cannot ignore it.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26To doubt is natural.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I will stop at nothing to secure the king's love.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Good.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37To seal the charm, you will need a few drops
0:18:37 > 0:18:40of your lover's fresh sweat.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I am forbidden all access to him.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47You're a resourceful woman.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48You'll find a way.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25No sign of that priest, sir. And no-one willing to talk.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32Find the whore named Mathilde. She plies her trade in that purgatory.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58My master expects me, sir.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01I'm here on the behalf of the king.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02A problem?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Has Odile incurred your disapproval?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Merely my suspicion.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14So I may have my servant back?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16That's a distinctive brocade.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21Yes, I'd give you the name of my tailor if you could afford him.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I prefer a less tawdry cut.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Some of us were born to set fashions,
0:20:25 > 0:20:29others merely to follow them.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Come on, Odile.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52SHE PANTS
0:20:58 > 0:21:00FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:21:29 > 0:21:32DOOR CLOSES
0:21:32 > 0:21:34FOOTSTEPS

0:22:10 > 0:22:12Are you spying on me?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14I thought you were my friend!
0:22:14 > 0:22:15I was.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16And this is how you betray me.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Everything I know of treachery, I learnt from you.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24SHE SCREAMS
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Argh! Argh!
0:22:53 > 0:22:56SHE PANTS
0:23:01 > 0:23:04I've done nothing wrong, sir.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07I don't care about your sins.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11I need your help to find Father Etienne Guibourg.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14You gave him your child.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15Well, that man's a saint.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19He...he's helped countless others the likes of me.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22If you care about the safety of your child,
0:23:22 > 0:23:24you will tell me what you know.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Why?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29What's happened to her?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31I cannot say.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Tell me where he can be found.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Will it suffice?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42So long as it contains his essence.
0:23:42 > 0:23:48Yes, you must cover your skin with half of this at daybreak,
0:23:48 > 0:23:52the other half at dusk.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57And ingest nothing but this tincture in advance. Is that clear?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02I don't know if I can do this.
0:24:04 > 0:24:11I would not have invested in your future if I did not believe in you.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14But it's not too late. I can still turn back, can't I?
0:24:17 > 0:24:22But you know in your heart you've already taken that first step.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26She was my friend.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31She may have betrayed me, but she did not deserve this.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37There can be no salvation without sacrifice.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38What if I am damned?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Were you seen?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- I'm not sure. - Was there a witness?
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Maybe. I don't know.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Then you must believe.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48And you will soon be at the king's side.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52How can you be so sure?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Because I have faith.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Long is the road to enlightenment and hard is the way.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32I can feel my enemy's breath on the back of my neck.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Find them.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Here I am before you.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46A sinner, penitent.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Do you hear me?
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Do you see me?
0:25:54 > 0:25:59You taunt me, is that it? I am here for your amusement?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Punish me if you must,
0:26:03 > 0:26:05but why should the people of France suffer for my sins?
0:26:10 > 0:26:11What must I do?!
0:26:13 > 0:26:18With your help, I will confront my foes and bring the enemies of
0:26:18 > 0:26:20your kingdom to justice.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22But I need your help.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Do I have it?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30DO I HAVE IT?!
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Horses.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Keep our distance. Hyah!
0:27:39 > 0:27:41I gave orders not to be disturbed.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52I came to pray, Your Highness.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56What do you pray for?
0:27:56 > 0:27:57For you.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01I'm in no need of prayer.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03I disagree.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06You need it more than anyone.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09You carry all our hopes,
0:28:09 > 0:28:13our desires, our dreams.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17I also live a gilded life, don't I?
0:28:17 > 0:28:20I have everything in the world a man could ever want.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Bearing the heart of France is a terrible burden.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27You must be stronger than all of us.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30What if I can't find the strength?
0:28:37 > 0:28:39God will help you.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41He will show you the way.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49How did you find such strength?
0:28:52 > 0:28:54I have lived a full life.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00I have known sin and redemption.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04I have achieved inner peace.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08I wish it were so simple.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12You must recognise your fear...
0:29:13 > 0:29:16..admit your weakness and confess your sins.
0:29:16 > 0:29:17I do nothing else these days!
0:29:25 > 0:29:27But something...
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Something is sapping the breath from within me.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39You are only human
0:29:39 > 0:29:41and you are a good man.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47You are not alone.
0:30:12 > 0:30:18Ad vos magna cum humilitate fideque venimus.
0:30:18 > 0:30:24Prae vestram potentatem immortalem et gloriam nos prosternimus.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29Do you agree to serve the Lord?
0:30:33 > 0:30:34I do.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10BABY GURGLES
0:31:33 > 0:31:34Circle round!
0:31:35 > 0:31:36Hyah!

0:31:58 > 0:31:59BABY CRIES
0:32:05 > 0:32:10Astarothe, Asmode, lucis domini,
0:32:10 > 0:32:13vos invocamus ut hunc sacrificium recipietis.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24MEN SHOUT
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Shhh. Shh.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04You help me find my strength.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08You carry your responsibilities like a cross.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12As king, I must carry the sins of all my people.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14That was the sacrifice of Our Lord.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17He does want me to follow Him, doesn't He?
0:33:17 > 0:33:21Yes. But He does not ask you to become Him.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Then I am just another man -
0:33:28 > 0:33:32weak, fallible, mortal.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33You ARE just a man.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39But you have forgotten how to see...
0:33:41 > 0:33:42..to hear...
0:33:44 > 0:33:45..and to feel.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54(And you must remember how to breathe.)
0:33:58 > 0:34:00SHE BREATHES IN AND OUT
0:34:42 > 0:34:44My heart beats again.

0:35:10 > 0:35:14"My heart aches every hour we're apart.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16"How will we ever be together?"
0:35:16 > 0:35:18DOOR SHUTS
0:35:30 > 0:35:31Something is wrong?
0:35:31 > 0:35:34What makes you say that?
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Your expression. I can't read it.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41I've spent a lifetime perfecting that particular skill.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43What are you thinking?
0:35:43 > 0:35:48A wife should never ask her husband that question.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51The answer will always disappoint.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00HE COUGHS
0:36:02 > 0:36:04You frighten me.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Oh, I'm not the one to fear.
0:36:10 > 0:36:15A girl like you should be more careful in her choice of lover.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17I don't know what you mean.
0:36:17 > 0:36:22Never trust a man who presents more than one version of himself.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Or one who writes stories for a living.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34You're sure Thomas suspects nothing?
0:36:34 > 0:36:37I have him eating from my perfumed palm.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Then you will tell him tonight that the king is arrogant,
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- pig-headed and paranoid. - Shouldn't be too difficult.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47You will say that I am losing my grip on reality,
0:36:47 > 0:36:49rejecting all reasonable advice
0:36:49 > 0:36:51and that you wish to leave Versailles for good.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Again, I think I can manage that.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Then you will tell him that the war is lost,
0:36:55 > 0:36:57my men are cornered like rats in a trap.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59We cannot hold on to Utrecht another day.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03We will withdraw all our forces after nightfall.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06How can you be so sure this will work?
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Because I have seen the light.
0:37:28 > 0:37:33Is that the delicate touch of the Duc de Cassel?
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Very droll.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Your eau de toilette is unmistakable, monsieur.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Therefore worth every penny.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42How do you fancy going out,
0:37:42 > 0:37:45making a fortune on the card table and getting blind drunk?
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Tough day?
0:37:47 > 0:37:49You have no idea.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- No. Don't read that, it's not finished yet.- What is it?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55It's a scene from a new play I'm working on about the war.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59It's a proper comedy if my brother has anything to do with it.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- Really? - He's a natural disaster.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05You wouldn't believe the mess he's making of it now.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Perhaps you should play the lead role, since you didn't get
0:38:07 > 0:38:09a chance to play your part during the battle.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13Hmm. Would I have to audition along with all the other actors?
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Mm.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Well, that all depends on how good you are.
0:38:25 > 0:38:31"Your voice is the guttural roar of the cannons on fire.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37"Your eyes...
0:38:37 > 0:38:40"are the flames from the torches of Satan with ire."
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Try some more. This time with real feeling.
0:38:50 > 0:38:56"The kick of the musket, the flash of the powder ignites."
0:39:00 > 0:39:07"The glint of the blade, the clash of the iron jaw that...
0:39:10 > 0:39:12"..bites."
0:39:12 > 0:39:14HE GASPS
0:39:14 > 0:39:18Lucifer has been celebrating his evil in the very heart of France.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25These sinful pages deal in the devilish rite of human sacrifice.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32This unholy priest feels no remorse?
0:39:32 > 0:39:34No pity?
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Not yet.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40But one of his disciples spoke.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42It seems the priest had accomplices in the village.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Chief among them, a woman.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51Extract their names from him.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56And show him the full force of my justice.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15SHE GASPS
0:40:20 > 0:40:21Athenais.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24Athenais.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Oh, my child. My poor child.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Athenais...
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Oh. Oh, I was dreaming.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40- What? FAINTLY:- I was dreaming.
0:40:45 > 0:40:50SHE MOANS AND HYPERVENTILATES
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- Shh...- I sold my soul!
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Our Lord will protect you.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59He is your master.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03What of Father Etienne?
0:41:03 > 0:41:07Monsieur Marchal and his men took him.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09What if they saw where I went?
0:41:09 > 0:41:11No. He's never betrayed any of his followers.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13SHE PANTS
0:41:14 > 0:41:16APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Then he's never met Monsieur Marchal.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24We must have faith in him.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28What do I do now?
0:41:30 > 0:41:34After the way the King has betrayed you,
0:41:34 > 0:41:36don't tell me you do not seek justice.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43DOOR OPENS
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Until the next time.

0:42:55 > 0:42:56Hey!
0:43:03 > 0:43:05I'm deeply grateful. Thank you.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07I will see to it that each one of you...
0:43:08 > 0:43:11Hold on a second, what are you doing?
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Hey! This is an outrage! How dare you?!
0:43:13 > 0:43:15You fucking scum!
0:43:26 > 0:43:27MAN COUGHS
0:43:35 > 0:43:38Look what you've done to me now.
0:43:38 > 0:43:40Compliments of your new lover.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42Thomas?
0:43:44 > 0:43:46I didn't see his face but it had to be him.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49I was following the oleaginous little shit.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51Why?
0:43:52 > 0:43:56Because I wanted to discuss the weather over Armagnac and macaroons.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58Why do you think?
0:44:09 > 0:44:12Ow! You're making it worse.
0:44:13 > 0:44:17- Why won't you let me help you? - Because this is your fault.
0:44:17 > 0:44:21I'm going round right now. I'll kill him properly this time.
0:44:21 > 0:44:22You can't!
0:44:22 > 0:44:24I have my honour to think of, and so should you.
0:44:24 > 0:44:26We mustn't cause him any more trouble.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29- We have to leave him alone. - Why?!
0:44:29 > 0:44:33- Trust me - it's important. - Trust YOU? Seriously?
0:44:35 > 0:44:39- Get your hands off me! - I love you.
0:44:39 > 0:44:41But Thomas has to be left alone.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45We both need to show a brave face.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49Can you do that, for me?
0:44:55 > 0:44:57Run me a bath.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19You seem preoccupied.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21It is nothing, Sire.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36It's about the Princess Palatine.
0:45:37 > 0:45:40She's been in mourning since the loss of her countrymen.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44I'm sure it's simply an oversight,
0:45:44 > 0:45:48but a few words from His Majesty might ease her pain.
0:45:50 > 0:45:54You're right. I shall express my deepest regrets.
0:45:54 > 0:45:56Yes.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58That is not what you had in mind.
0:46:00 > 0:46:02I think you should ask her forgiveness.
0:46:04 > 0:46:06Confession is not the same as apology.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17Why can't my priest be like you?
0:46:29 > 0:46:31Do I frighten you?
0:46:33 > 0:46:35No, Sire.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40So what do you fear?
0:46:41 > 0:46:43Only myself.
0:46:52 > 0:46:55I would like to show my appreciation and respect.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59You are a model of humility and restraint.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06You have fulfilled your duty as my brother's wife
0:47:06 > 0:47:08under trying circumstances.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19And now you must feel...
0:47:19 > 0:47:22great distress after what has happened in your country.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28Is that supposed to be an apology?
0:47:31 > 0:47:34Obviously, I would let you return home were you not carrying
0:47:34 > 0:47:37my brother's child.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40My child will grow up within a family of murderers.
0:47:42 > 0:47:46I came here to discover a new life.
0:47:46 > 0:47:47Of joy.
0:47:48 > 0:47:49Of liberty.
0:47:51 > 0:47:52I am now your captive.
0:47:55 > 0:47:57You have complete ownership of me.
0:47:59 > 0:48:01I am at your mercy.
0:48:04 > 0:48:06I'm sorry.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35'The priest had accomplices.
0:48:35 > 0:48:37'Among them, a woman.'

0:49:00 > 0:49:02What ails you, Sire?
0:49:18 > 0:49:20I drew this in my own blood.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25And now I recall where I saw it first.
0:49:32 > 0:49:35And now the labyrinth returns to haunt me.
0:49:37 > 0:49:40The tarot sorceress may be part of this heresy too.
0:50:10 > 0:50:14I thought you might like to go the way of our Lord.
0:50:14 > 0:50:20My soul is immortal, you cannot destroy me.
0:50:20 > 0:50:23Is that so?
0:50:23 > 0:50:25Well, I will enjoy trying.
0:50:26 > 0:50:29I only believe in the here and now.
0:50:29 > 0:50:33And right now there is only you and me, so...
0:50:33 > 0:50:36who else is behind this abomination?
0:50:39 > 0:50:42I'll give you nothing.
0:50:50 > 0:50:55I imagine you can appreciate the significance.
0:50:56 > 0:51:04Oh, yes just...as I appreciate your INSIGNIFICANCE.
0:51:04 > 0:51:08My prince is all-powerful.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12Yes.
0:51:12 > 0:51:15It appears that your lord has forsaken you.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21Give me a name.
0:51:23 > 0:51:27I already know of Madame Agathe.
0:51:27 > 0:51:28Who else?
0:51:32 > 0:51:33(The young doctor.)
0:51:33 > 0:51:35What?
0:51:37 > 0:51:39(The young doctor.)
0:51:47 > 0:51:50Claudine?
0:51:50 > 0:51:53Oh, so soft to the touch.
0:51:59 > 0:52:05She cried for your help, you know, as she died.
0:52:06 > 0:52:11She... Like a lamb to the slaughter.
0:52:17 > 0:52:24It was gratifying taking the life-force from one so...
0:52:25 > 0:52:27..so sweet.
0:52:27 > 0:52:29ARGH!
