1. Oh, it's only you. What's the time?Copy !req
2. Oh, I'm sorry, monsieur. I
didn't mean to wake you, I, I...Copy !req
3. Never mind. What time is it?Copy !req
4. It's dawn,
monsieur. The Tocsin's rung. Curfew's over.Copy !req
5. And the 'Sea Beggar' dies today.Copy !req
6. Are we gonna leave Paris now?Copy !req
7. No.Copy !req
8. No, I'm sorry, Anne,
but I must go back to the Abbot's house.Copy !req
9. No! Monsieur, no!Copy !req
10. I must! Now, my friend should be there by
now. He may know who the 'Sea Beggar' is.Copy !req
11. If you go back there, they'll arrest you.Copy !req
12. No they won't,
the Doctor should be able to stop them.Copy !req
13. They'll recognise you
before you can find him.Copy !req
14. The Captain of the Guard
and Monsieur Colbert.Copy !req
15. Perhaps if I disguise... see
if we can find some other clothes.Copy !req
16. Ah, yes. Well, this should do.Copy !req
17. Ugh, but it's so dirty, monsieur.Copy !req
18. Yes, well, never mind. Now,
if I can find that hat...Copy !req
19. Monsieur?Copy !req
20. Good girl.Copy !req
21. Yes, well I don't think the
Captain'll recognise me in this.Copy !req
22. If we ally ourselves to the
Dutch in their conflict with Spain,Copy !req
23. the common cause will unify the country,
and prevent further civil strife.Copy !req
24. Surely the marriage between
Henri of Navarre and HisCopy !req
25. Majesty's sister has already
put an end to the disturbances?Copy !req
26. For how long?Copy !req
27. As I have pointed out,
frequently, in this chamber,Copy !req
28. it would take but one small incident
and the whole of Paris could be in uproar.Copy !req
29. Incidents occur daily,
and still the city does not rise.Copy !req
30. If we allied ourselves with the Dutch
even those incidents would not take place.Copy !req
31. My Admiral has a good
point there. Pray accept it,Copy !req
32. Marshal, and let us finish
with this tedious business.Copy !req
33. Your Majesty,
France cannot afford this war.Copy !req
34. So we are told frequently by our mother.Copy !req
35. The recent conflict inside the
country has brought us almost to ruin.Copy !req
36. There is no money
to pay for the forcesCopy !req
37. that would be needed
to wage war with Spain.Copy !req
38. But is it not so that
under the treaty signed atCopy !req
39. Loire,
the English will come to our assistance?Copy !req
40. Not you as well,
my little Councillor?Copy !req
41. The Admiral and the Marshal
quarrel well enough without assistance.Copy !req
42. I apologise, sire.Copy !req
43. I had hoped to end the
deadlock between them.Copy !req
44. It was good to hear a different voice. So,
Elizabeth of England has agreed to help us?Copy !req
45. Does anyone here trust her? She
breaks more promises than she keeps.Copy !req
46. She has no love for Spain.Copy !req
47. She has yet to come out
into the open and say so.Copy !req
48. However, if Your Majesty
is so eager to fight this war,Copy !req
49. perhaps we could raise the money by leasing
the Alpine hunting grounds to Italy?Copy !req
50. Do you mock me, Marshal?Copy !req
51. Of course not, sire,
but the war will have to be paid for.Copy !req
52. Some sacrifices will have to be made.Copy !req
53. We will give away nothing of our land.Copy !req
54. Besides, the bears there are
French. They may not like to be sold.Copy !req
55. Ha, true! Next winter you
will accompany us on our hunt.Copy !req
56. Your majesty!Copy !req
57. There is enough money in
France to finance the war.Copy !req
58. Enough of this war. I am bored with Spain.Copy !req
59. But I beg to advise, Your Majesty...Copy !req
60. No, Admiral,
please! Talk of it some other time.Copy !req
61. War is so tedious.Copy !req
62. Move to matters closer to us.Copy !req
63. If the King refuses to make war,Copy !req
64. may it please God that another
war will not be forced on him,Copy !req
65. which it would not
be easy to renounce.Copy !req
66. No, monsieur. I won't stay here alone.Copy !req
67. Then you must come with me!Copy !req
68. But they'll arrest me at the Abbot's house!Copy !req
69. They won't.Copy !req
70. Now look, I'm almost certain that
my friend is pretending to be the Abbot.Copy !req
71. Now he'll make sure
that no harm comes to you.Copy !req
72. But, monsieur...Copy !req
73. Now you must trust
me. I'll take care of you.Copy !req
74. You've been very kind to me,
monsieur, but...Copy !req
75. I'm afraid to go back to that house.Copy !req
76. Look, I'll be with you. Besides,
you won't stay here, so where will you go?Copy !req
77. All right, I'll come with you.Copy !req
78. If anything happens
on the way to the Abbot,Copy !req
79. if I'm recognised, then we'll have to run.Copy !req
80. Now you must come back here,
do you understand?Copy !req
81. Well supposing they catch me?Copy !req
82. No they won't.
I'll be the one they chase.Copy !req
83. Now if you come back here
I'll know where to find you,Copy !req
84. and I can join you as soon as possible.Copy !req
85. All right.Copy !req
86. Good girl. Come on.Copy !req
87. How much longer are the Huguenots to suffer
these frequent violations of their rights?Copy !req
88. The treaty drawn up by the Queen Mother
to conclude the religious difficultiesCopy !req
89. of the country was generous
in the extreme to the free thinkers.Copy !req
90. Words were spoken.
Signatures were exchanged.Copy !req
91. But they did not prevent many
acts against the Huguenots.Copy !req
92. Do you question the promises
of the Queen Mother, Admiral?Copy !req
93. It is easy to promise.Copy !req
94. You speak treason!Copy !req
95. Enough! Why is it not possible for our
councillors to talk without quarrelling?Copy !req
96. Sire,
it is imperative that the religiousCopy !req
97. differences of the
country be fully discussed!Copy !req
98. Admiral,
grant me but a few days more in whichCopy !req
99. to amuse myself and then I promise you,
as King,Copy !req
100. that I shall make you
happy and all those of your religion.Copy !req
101. Kings are recognised
only by the power they wield.Copy !req
102. The Queen Mother
seems to claim this power.Copy !req
103. Take care, Your Majesty, that it
does not prove detrimental to yourself,Copy !req
104. and to France.Copy !req
105. - Your Majesty!
- Tavannes, no more. Marshal!Copy !req
106. This meeting is over.Copy !req
107. Since my noble mother has
seen fit to depart, let us do likewise.Copy !req
108. We need to get on with the
Feast of St. Bartholomew, soCopy !req
109. until the day after tomorrow,
let us enjoy ourselves.Copy !req
110. Was that wise? To insult the Queen will
only make her work harder against you.Copy !req
111. It is time her power was challenged.Copy !req
112. The King still fears his mother.Copy !req
113. Surely this may damage all
for which you've worked so hard?Copy !req
114. Let us hope not.Copy !req
115. Admiral, come with us.
We are going to play tennis.Copy !req
116. Your Majesty, I must beg to be
excused. I have work which must be done.Copy !req
117. My dear Admiral,
we are pleased with you!Copy !req
118. Since now our mother will not
speak to us for the rest of today,Copy !req
119. you will come with us.Copy !req
120. I have a new racquet I
want you to see. Come!Copy !req
121. You will have to wait in here.
The Abbot cannot be disturbed.Copy !req
122. Yes, but I must speak to
him. It's most important.Copy !req
123. You do not understand,
young man. The Abbot is saying his office.Copy !req
124. His what?Copy !req
125. His office. We cannot disturb
him while he is at prayer.Copy !req
126. Well how long's he going to be?Copy !req
127. You must curb your impatience,
young man.Copy !req
128. If you will tell me what your business is,
then perhaps I can help you.Copy !req
129. I have a message for the Abbot,
concerning a man who is to die today.Copy !req
130. If it is a case for the last sacraments,Copy !req
131. then there is no need to trouble the
Abbot. I will come with you.Copy !req
132. Well, no. I mean, I mean,
it's very kind of you but...Copy !req
133. Is there something more?Copy !req
134. Well, yes. And I can only
discuss it with the Abbot.Copy !req
135. What is this?Copy !req
136. My Lord Abbot.Copy !req
137. Doctor!Copy !req
138. Silence! Who is this man? And
why does he disturb my peace?Copy !req
139. It appears he comes from a dying man.Copy !req
140. Well?Copy !req
141. I, I... I've brought back
the servant who ran away.Copy !req
142. Monsieur!Copy !req
143. You have done well, my son.Copy !req
144. Father, you may leave
us. I will settle this matter.Copy !req
145. Very well, my Lord Abbot.Copy !req
146. I felt you would be safer here,
as Bondot waits for the 'Sea Beggar'.Copy !req
147. Father Abbot, a word with you.Copy !req
148. The young man has returned the girl to us,
Marshal.Copy !req
149. What girl?Copy !req
150. The one who lodged with the 'Sea Beggar'.Copy !req
151. She is of no importance.
I must speak with you alone.Copy !req
152. Very well. Take the girl and
wait outside. I'll tend you later.Copy !req
153. Is Bondot prepared?Copy !req
154. Of course,
I never fail. Neither will my servants.Copy !req
155. If Bondot...Copy !req
156. Listen!Copy !req
157. Bondot has been prepared
for the last few hours.Copy !req
158. Quick, we've got to tell Nicholas.Copy !req
159. Is the 'Sea Beggar' on his way home?Copy !req
160. I don't know.Copy !req
161. The King delayed
him after the council.Copy !req
162. He had seen fit to insult
the Queen Mother andCopy !req
163. His Majesty was
naturally pleased with him.Copy !req
164. De Coligny will allow no one
to take him away from his work.Copy !req
165. I think we can take it
he is on his way by now.Copy !req
166. The girl, the servant who ran...Copy !req
167. Colbert! How dare you interrupt us!Copy !req
168. But she is with the Englishman from
the Admiral's house. I saw them!Copy !req
169. What?Copy !req
170. The Englishman with the girl. He's
the one who was with the Huguenots.Copy !req
171. Who did he say he was?Copy !req
172. I never asked him.Copy !req
173. Fetch him back!Copy !req
174. I've sent the guards after them.
He was taking her out the side door.Copy !req
175. My Lord Abbot,
what mistake have you perpetrated now?Copy !req
176. He could not hear
what was being said.Copy !req
177. I sent him out of the room.Copy !req
178. In any case,
it is too late for him to warn the Admiral.Copy !req
179. For your sake it had better be.Copy !req
180. Will you get out of my way!Copy !req
181. - But monsieur, I cannot...
- Nicholas! Quickly, it's the Admiral!Copy !req
182. - Monsieur...
- Quiet! What's wrong?Copy !req
183. - The plot!
- The Catholics?Copy !req
184. Yes!
It's the Admiral they're going to kill!Copy !req
185. - De Coligny?
- Today! Now!Copy !req
186. - But how?
- I don't know, but you've got to warn him.Copy !req
187. He's at the Louvre.
There's a council meeting.Copy !req
188. It's over. They're going
to kill him on the way back.Copy !req
189. Where?Copy !req
190. The Rue... St... St. Germaine?Copy !req
191. - The Rue des Fossé St. Germaine?
- Yes!Copy !req
192. Stay here!Copy !req
193. Admiral!Copy !req
194. Admiral!Copy !req
195. See how honest men
are treated in France?Copy !req
196. The shot came from that window.Copy !req
197. Search the house! We
must get him to a surgeon.Copy !req
198. We should have heard by now.Copy !req
199. The King may have delayed him further.Copy !req
200. Due to your stupidity, the Englishman
has had a chance to warn him.Copy !req
201. I said he did not hear anything.Copy !req
202. Then why did he run off?Copy !req
203. I don't know.Copy !req
204. If this should go wrong, you are to blame,
and you will be the one to answer for it.Copy !req
205. The Cardinal...Copy !req
206. Is in Rome and cannot help you now.Copy !req
207. If de Coligny is delayed by the King, then
the news of his death will be delayed also.Copy !req
208. Bondot is an excellent
marksman. You know that.Copy !req
209. There is only one thing for us to do,Copy !req
210. that is to wait. Meantime,
I will retire to my room.Copy !req
211. You will not. You will wait here, with me.Copy !req
212. Father Abbot!Copy !req
213. Well?Copy !req
214. The attempt has failed.Copy !req
215. I see. Was Bondot caught?Copy !req
216. He rode away. The Admiral was only wounded,
not killed.Copy !req
217. So, the 'Sea Beggar' lives.Copy !req
218. You have failed!Copy !req
219. Call the guards!Copy !req
220. It is strange, Father Abbot,
that since you came everythingCopy !req
221. which had been so carefully
planned has gone wrong.Copy !req
222. This man is a
traitor to the Queen.Copy !req
223. Kill him!Copy !req
224. You heard my order, kill him!Copy !req
225. Monsieur de Téligny, I am waiting.Copy !req
226. I... I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but the news
I have must be given first to the King.Copy !req
227. Well, what's the matter?Copy !req
228. Why must I always be
interrupted? And I was winning.Copy !req
229. Your pardon, sire, but I bring
news of the greatest importance.Copy !req
230. Well what is it?Copy !req
231. Admiral de Coligny has
been severely wounded.Copy !req
232. Someone tried to shoot him.Copy !req
233. Will I never have any peace?Copy !req
234. Your Majesty, the Admiral is badly hurt.Copy !req
235. What happened?Copy !req
236. The assassins were waiting in
the Rue des Fossé St. Germaine.Copy !req
237. As we came down the
street they fired at him.Copy !req
238. Were they caught?Copy !req
239. No, sire. We searched the house and
found the weapon, the men had gone.Copy !req
240. Well they must be found.
An inquiry. Call the council!Copy !req
241. The Admiral's assassins must be
caught and punished! Call the council!Copy !req
242. Oh, my Admiral!Copy !req
243. My little father!Copy !req
244. I will see you avenged.Copy !req
245. Take me to my own room.Copy !req
246. Help me up.Copy !req
247. No, Admiral,
wait for the surgeon. He'll be here soon.Copy !req
248. Why did they do it?Copy !req
249. Monsieur, are you sure we
shouldn't take him to his own room?Copy !req
250. No, he's lost so much blood. Go and wait
for the surgeon... bring him straight in!Copy !req
251. Yes, monsieur.Copy !req
252. Nicholas, I'm sorry.Copy !req
253. I tried to tell Gaston,
he wouldn't listen to me.Copy !req
254. I know, he told me.Copy !req
255. I knew that the 'Sea
Beggar' was going to be killed.Copy !req
256. Until this morning I
didn't know who that was.Copy !req
257. I could've told you.Copy !req
258. How did you find out?Copy !req
259. Well, when I ran away from you yesterday,
I went to the Abbot's house.Copy !req
260. The Doctor wasn't there, but I overheard
some men talking about the 'Sea Beggar'.Copy !req
261. Who were they?Copy !req
262. I don't know.Copy !req
263. But, well one of them was the same man
who came to see the Abbot this morning.Copy !req
264. So the Abbot is behind this.Copy !req
265. No! The Abbot is the Doctor.Copy !req
266. Now that I've seen
him I'm certain of it.Copy !req
267. He's just pretending to be the Abbot.Copy !req
268. Now listen, Steven...Copy !req
269. How is he?Copy !req
270. He's very weak.Copy !req
271. The King has called for an
inquiry but it won't do any good.Copy !req
272. What do you mean?Copy !req
273. As I left the Louvre I
heard that some of ourCopy !req
274. men have taken the
law into their own hands.Copy !req
275. How?Copy !req
276. The Abbot of Amboise was
murdered just outside his own house.Copy !req
277. What?Copy !req
278. The Abbot is dead and they're
blaming it on the Huguenots.Copy !req
279. But he wasn't the Abbot!Copy !req
280. The King has summoned the
council. I must return to the Louvre.Copy !req
281. Take care of him, Nicholas.Copy !req
282. Of course.Copy !req
283. and, Marshal, since you claim to know
nothing of this attempted assassination,Copy !req
284. I have a special charge for you.Copy !req
285. You will be responsible
for the Admiral's safety.Copy !req
286. Empty the street of Catholics,
station your men around his house,Copy !req
287. and mark me well, if anything further
happens to him, you pay with your head.Copy !req
288. We do not need the Marshal's protection,
sire.Copy !req
289. To drive Catholics from their homes will
only make them hate us even more.Copy !req
290. Is that possible? Your concern for
your friends does you credit, sire.Copy !req
291. - I gave you an order! See it is done!
- But, sire...Copy !req
292. Not another word!Copy !req
293. From either side.Copy !req
294. I've had enough of your
bickering. Leave me. All of you!Copy !req
295. You summoned the council?Copy !req
296. I gave orders I was to be left alone.Copy !req
297. Without my knowledge or consent?Copy !req
298. I asked to be left alone, mother.Copy !req
299. The threat over your friend,
the Admiral? You are the King.Copy !req
300. Yes, I am the King! And to be obeyed!Copy !req
301. Now keep out of my sight unless
you care to end your days in a convent.Copy !req
302. I would wish you have the courage, my son.Copy !req
303. I have but to give the order.Copy !req
304. Summon your guards, have me arrested.Copy !req
305. But you had better have a good reason
for the council... and for the people.Copy !req
306. The attempted assassination of my Admiral,
by you and Tavannes.Copy !req
307. Do you deny it, Madame?Copy !req
308. No.Copy !req
309. Have a care. I mean what I say. I
shall send Tavannes to the block!Copy !req
310. You would execute the Marshal
of France for doing his duty?Copy !req
311. Duty? He's an assassin!Copy !req
312. He tried to rid you of a dangerous enemy.Copy !req
313. De Coligny is my friend. You,
Madame, are my enemy.Copy !req
314. If ever I were to be... may God help you.Copy !req
315. Look at these before you
decide who are your enemies.Copy !req
316. You think the Huguenots would stop at
killing me? They want your blood too.Copy !req
317. So you keep telling
me every day of my life.Copy !req
318. Why? I protect them. They're all
my subjects. What have they to gain?Copy !req
319. Until now, nothing.Copy !req
320. And now?Copy !req
321. We have a Protestant prince in Paris,
Henri of Navarre.Copy !req
322. You think they give a
fig for your protection,Copy !req
323. now that one of their own is
within grasp of the throne?Copy !req
324. The Huguenots must have done it!Copy !req
325. The free thinkers!Copy !req
326. They shouldn't be allowed
to come here! They did it!Copy !req
327. It's a wicked thing!Copy !req
328. The Huguenots will stop at
nothing! They even kill our priest!Copy !req
329. Nothing is sacred to the Huguenots!Copy !req
330. Something will have to be done.Copy !req
331. The Huguenots must be
banned from entering towns!Copy !req
332. They will kill these poor
defenceless priests elsewhere!Copy !req
333. Now lock them up and kill them!Copy !req
334. You're certain that no one
saw the body brought here?Copy !req
335. Just look at them. They all
believe the Huguenots killed him.Copy !req
336. What happened? What have they done?Copy !req
337. The Huguenots murdered him!Copy !req
338. - No!
- They did. We saw them!Copy !req
339. There were fifteen of them!Copy !req
340. Just struck him down!
But he'll be revenged!Copy !req
341. Hold that man! He's responsible!Copy !req
342. After him! Go on! Get him!Copy !req
