00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:36,318
(Baby crying)
2
00:00:47,931 --> 00:00:50,465
(Baby cooing)
3
00:00:50,988 --> 00:00:54,035
(Courtiers whispering, indistinct)
4
00:01:06,011 --> 00:01:11,380
- What news, Sire? Does the child...
- Stillborn. A funeral is planned.
5
00:01:12,267 --> 00:01:14,287
Have the tailors arrived for our pavilion?
6
00:01:14,317 --> 00:01:17,426
They are en route.
It is the talk of the court.
7
00:01:17,974 --> 00:01:18,960
Sire,
8
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,010
- my heart is heavy for your loss.
- Ensure the talk does not abate.
9
00:01:22,548 --> 00:01:24,814
Make it the gossip of the card tables.
10
00:01:25,950 --> 00:01:27,366
Leave us now.
11
00:01:38,470 --> 00:01:41,705
- Before we begin, Sire...
- You will not address the king directly.
12
00:01:41,716 --> 00:01:43,444
I think he already has.
13
00:01:44,230 --> 00:01:47,777
The men we apprehended
wore Spanish leather on their person.
14
00:01:47,815 --> 00:01:51,108
If I wore a pair of clogs,
would that make me a Dutchman?
15
00:01:51,228 --> 00:01:54,310
- You would have me be silent?
- Deeply.
16
00:01:54,673 --> 00:01:57,226
I only wish His Majesty to be aware
17
00:01:57,346 --> 00:02:01,486
since we already have a
Spanish influence in our lives.
18
00:02:09,546 --> 00:02:13,157
Her Majesty must remain
abed at least a week, Sire.
19
00:02:13,277 --> 00:02:17,205
And as for the condition of the
child, I have an explanation.
20
00:02:24,486 --> 00:02:26,449
I cannot wait to hear it.
21
00:02:28,013 --> 00:02:29,365
As you know, Sire,
22
00:02:29,395 --> 00:02:32,386
Her Majesty has enjoyed the company of a little blackamoor,
23
00:02:32,439 --> 00:02:33,844
Nabo.
24
00:02:33,897 --> 00:02:35,755
She liked to play games with him,
25
00:02:35,875 --> 00:02:37,591
peekaboo and so on.
26
00:02:37,711 --> 00:02:39,365
As I understand it, Sire,
27
00:02:39,381 --> 00:02:41,571
shortly after Her Majesty fell pregnant,
28
00:02:41,624 --> 00:02:44,094
Nabo hid behind a piece of furniture
29
00:02:44,124 --> 00:02:46,330
and jumped out upon her
to give her a surprise,
30
00:02:47,396 --> 00:02:49,472
and he gave her a look of such force
31
00:02:49,592 --> 00:02:53,158
that it served to corrupt
the royal womb with darkness.
32
00:02:56,541 --> 00:02:59,283
It must have been a very penetrating look.
33
00:03:12,555 --> 00:03:14,186
Where is the child now?
34
00:03:14,306 --> 00:03:16,830
A wet nurse, out of sight.
35
00:03:16,950 --> 00:03:18,468
She has our trust.
36
00:03:18,588 --> 00:03:20,432
(Louis): You're sure?
37
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,627
(Bontemps): Quite sure, Your Majesty.
38
00:03:25,198 --> 00:03:28,030
Very well. Fabien, do as you must.

47
00:04:41,368 --> 00:04:43,884
Sire, we may have war
48
00:04:44,065 --> 00:04:46,884
or we may have splendour,
but I do not believe
49
00:04:46,890 --> 00:04:48,159
that we can have both.
50
00:04:48,364 --> 00:04:50,244
Then it must be war.
51
00:04:50,534 --> 00:04:52,152
Then the Dutch will
secure their trade routes
52
00:04:52,182 --> 00:04:54,610
into West Africa, and we
shall have no part of them.
53
00:04:54,730 --> 00:04:57,306
To see our rivals profit
in wealth and stature
54
00:04:57,426 --> 00:05:00,092
from our own inaction is not
a price we should be paying.
55
00:05:00,212 --> 00:05:03,700
As lucrative as these
routes may be for the Dutch,
56
00:05:03,904 --> 00:05:06,782
you cannot put a price on glory, Sire.
57
00:05:07,748 --> 00:05:10,286
The Dutch are mistaken.
58
00:05:11,254 --> 00:05:14,041
And France has my wife to thank for that.
59
00:05:26,203 --> 00:05:27,963
Como se enceuntra?
60
00:05:28,771 --> 00:05:31,662
Está mejor?
61
00:05:45,849 --> 00:05:48,055
You have no colour in your cheeks,
62
00:05:49,150 --> 00:05:50,797
unlike your daughter.
63
00:05:51,235 --> 00:05:53,297
Please, husband. Where is she?
64
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:55,918
"Husband."
65
00:06:03,297 --> 00:06:06,122
Do you know what Socrates
had to say about marriage?
66
00:06:06,401 --> 00:06:08,554
He said: "By all means marry.
67
00:06:08,818 --> 00:06:11,598
If you get a good wife, you'll be happy.
68
00:06:12,792 --> 00:06:16,433
Get a bad one, you'll
become a philosopher."
69
00:06:17,143 --> 00:06:20,904
I must tell you, Madame, I
am feeling very philosophical.
70
00:06:21,024 --> 00:06:22,754
Madre de Dios.
71
00:06:28,986 --> 00:06:31,622
What we do here resonates
throughout the world.
72
00:06:32,158 --> 00:06:34,145
Do you imagine this William
of Orange in the north,
73
00:06:34,183 --> 00:06:35,270
if he knew what had happened here,
74
00:06:35,285 --> 00:06:37,764
he would pause for a second at our borders?
75
00:06:38,443 --> 00:06:39,983
That he would he see the king
76
00:06:40,006 --> 00:06:42,325
and his country as
anything other than weak,
77
00:06:42,445 --> 00:06:44,425
debased,
78
00:06:44,711 --> 00:06:46,539
a laughing stock?
79
00:06:48,034 --> 00:06:50,723
This was not the act of a wife or queen.
80
00:06:51,017 --> 00:06:53,978
This was an act of sedition by a traitor.
81
00:06:55,089 --> 00:06:56,682
Where is our daughter?
82
00:06:56,962 --> 00:06:59,590
Your daughter is in God's mercy.
83
00:07:02,604 --> 00:07:04,666
(Whispering in Spanish)
84
00:07:05,323 --> 00:07:09,046
French when it pleases you,
Spanish when you choose to hide.
85
00:07:09,166 --> 00:07:11,047
If the court thinks me an idiot,
86
00:07:11,093 --> 00:07:14,237
at least they think me worthy
of something, even if it is pity.
87
00:07:14,357 --> 00:07:16,909
You will find no pity from me.
88
00:07:17,985 --> 00:07:20,090
Her Majesty looks unwell.
89
00:07:20,695 --> 00:07:23,131
See that Masson tends to her.
90
00:07:23,969 --> 00:07:26,016
Her confinement shall be extended
91
00:07:26,371 --> 00:07:29,491
until she is fit to rejoin us.
92
00:07:33,313 --> 00:07:35,933
When you first came to court,
do you remember what I told you?
93
00:07:36,262 --> 00:07:38,252
That you would reward any favour
94
00:07:38,985 --> 00:07:40,821
- with interest.
- Mm-hmm!
95
00:07:41,032 --> 00:07:42,498
And yet,
96
00:07:43,275 --> 00:07:44,756
I am still waiting,
97
00:07:45,028 --> 00:07:48,027
after you had me spread
all those lies for you
98
00:07:48,147 --> 00:07:50,376
about your little blonde friend.
99
00:07:50,557 --> 00:07:53,699
That's what I love about you,
Cousin. You are so very patient.
100
00:07:53,819 --> 00:07:56,569
(Laughing)
101
00:07:59,685 --> 00:08:02,352
Never doubt my affection for you.
102
00:08:06,987 --> 00:08:08,745
Oh! By the king!
103
00:08:08,793 --> 00:08:10,606
"The king invites you
104
00:08:10,726 --> 00:08:13,899
to a private showing of
diverse suits of lace... "
105
00:08:13,911 --> 00:08:16,256
There was a domestic working in the hallway
106
00:08:16,298 --> 00:08:18,431
north of the birthing room.
107
00:08:18,667 --> 00:08:21,465
- "... master tailors, embroiderers... "
- Pallid, green eyes,
108
00:08:21,585 --> 00:08:23,894
- scar on her chin.
- "... a grand carousel"
109
00:08:23,906 --> 00:08:25,495
I want her name.
110
00:08:25,615 --> 00:08:28,722
- "will follow in their honour." Mother!
- Aren't you thrilled?
111
00:08:28,957 --> 00:08:30,063
(Sophie): Oh!
112
00:08:30,087 --> 00:08:32,262
Have we heard from Rossignol on the cipher?
113
00:08:32,292 --> 00:08:33,187
No.
114
00:08:33,398 --> 00:08:35,906
The moment he sends
word, you shall fetch me.
115
00:08:35,948 --> 00:08:37,102
Yes.
116
00:08:37,489 --> 00:08:39,864
(♪ Singing in French)
117
00:08:39,882 --> 00:08:41,876
(Baby sucking)
118
00:08:42,317 --> 00:08:44,021
(Door opening)
119
00:08:47,677 --> 00:08:49,212
Thank you.
120
00:08:49,332 --> 00:08:51,882
(Baby crying)
121
00:08:59,980 --> 00:09:01,581
(Sighing)
122
00:09:02,082 --> 00:09:04,191
That is very expensive firewood.
123
00:09:04,390 --> 00:09:07,447
If I do not burn these,
the rest shall die, Sire.
124
00:09:08,076 --> 00:09:11,072
A greening disease is spread
to many, caused by flies.
125
00:09:11,477 --> 00:09:13,308
But the rootstock is strong,
126
00:09:13,513 --> 00:09:15,887
and if we can girdle and
graft onto the budwood,
127
00:09:15,916 --> 00:09:18,166
scions take, the trees propagate,
128
00:09:18,286 --> 00:09:19,809
the orchard is saved!
129
00:09:21,689 --> 00:09:24,131
How do you know the rootstock is strong?
130
00:09:24,644 --> 00:09:25,949
What is the measure?
131
00:09:26,245 --> 00:09:27,998
I make it my business
to know the provenance
132
00:09:28,016 --> 00:09:30,312
of every tree Your Majesty receives.
133
00:09:31,588 --> 00:09:32,808
This one
134
00:09:33,587 --> 00:09:36,554
came first from the
University of Strasbourg.
135
00:09:37,545 --> 00:09:38,729
This one,
136
00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:41,122
the botanic garden at Montpellier.
137
00:09:41,569 --> 00:09:45,093
Before that, China, Arabia.
138
00:09:45,612 --> 00:09:48,180
To know the seed is to know the root.
139
00:09:48,398 --> 00:09:50,218
To know the root is to know the tree,
140
00:09:50,254 --> 00:09:51,995
and the fruit that follows thereafter.
141
00:09:52,460 --> 00:09:55,976
So, I burn the sick to preserve the pure,
142
00:09:56,206 --> 00:09:59,433
and the king shall have his orange blossom.
143
00:10:01,421 --> 00:10:03,584
You're very well spoken for a soldier.
144
00:10:04,043 --> 00:10:05,664
Words are weapons, Sire.
145
00:10:05,784 --> 00:10:07,517
I've used many in my time.
146
00:10:07,892 --> 00:10:10,074
But I'm a gardener now.
147
00:10:11,886 --> 00:10:13,530
My gardener.
148
00:11:11,193 --> 00:11:12,752
(Mother): Just look at them.
149
00:11:14,806 --> 00:11:19,217
A king either rules his
ministers or is ruled by them.
150
00:11:20,878 --> 00:11:22,987
Only power controls a country,
151
00:11:23,724 --> 00:11:26,854
and as of now, the power lies with them.
152
00:11:29,996 --> 00:11:32,558
It is time to show them who you are.
153
00:11:40,196 --> 00:11:42,171
Without the documents of law before us,
154
00:11:42,189 --> 00:11:44,250
my edict has no legitimacy.
155
00:11:45,223 --> 00:11:48,763
Where are the archives, and
why are they not before us?
156
00:11:49,742 --> 00:11:51,525
Are they still on the road?
157
00:11:52,449 --> 00:11:55,434
Sire, the decision was taken
to turn the caravan around.
158
00:11:56,065 --> 00:11:57,416
Taken by whom?
159
00:11:57,693 --> 00:11:59,512
The road from Paris is very dangerous,
160
00:11:59,548 --> 00:12:00,883
especially when it approaches
161
00:12:00,884 --> 00:12:02,793
the royal lands around this lodge.
162
00:12:03,077 --> 00:12:05,888
We could not have court
materials taken hostage.
163
00:12:06,008 --> 00:12:08,859
That is exactly what has
happened, Mr. Louvois.
164
00:12:09,675 --> 00:12:12,369
The masters of the tailor's
guild arrived safely.
165
00:12:12,737 --> 00:12:14,351
One would think the king's guard
166
00:12:14,383 --> 00:12:16,049
might also stand a chance of survival.
167
00:12:16,097 --> 00:12:19,529
We think only of security.
We merely serve, Your Majesty.
168
00:12:19,577 --> 00:12:20,822
For now.
169
00:12:28,730 --> 00:12:31,279
If Monsieur Louvois does
not soon hold his tongue,
170
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,075
I may volunteer to hold it for him.
171
00:12:33,141 --> 00:12:34,712
I would rather have an honest critic
172
00:12:34,736 --> 00:12:36,488
than a false friend, Bontemps.
173
00:12:36,537 --> 00:12:39,704
Sire, he seems to talk only
of his opposition to you.
174
00:12:40,338 --> 00:12:43,710
He takes contrary positions
to all of your plans,
175
00:12:43,722 --> 00:12:47,595
then declares them thunderously
to anyone who will listen.
176
00:12:47,897 --> 00:12:49,771
And long may he continue.
177
00:12:51,838 --> 00:12:54,025
I am sure I do not understand, Sire.
178
00:12:54,781 --> 00:12:56,170
You will.
179
00:12:59,863 --> 00:13:01,773
What news of your son?
180
00:13:02,981 --> 00:13:04,413
Bontemps?
181
00:13:05,875 --> 00:13:07,361
(Groaning)
182
00:13:10,843 --> 00:13:12,372
Is he all right?
183
00:13:18,028 --> 00:13:20,378
(♪ Classical)
184
00:13:20,498 --> 00:13:22,215
Carmelite and lavender.
185
00:13:23,327 --> 00:13:24,596
Do you like it?
186
00:13:25,997 --> 00:13:27,201
Persian silk.
187
00:13:29,177 --> 00:13:30,335
Leave it alone.
188
00:13:46,761 --> 00:13:48,489
(Crying)
189
00:14:01,661 --> 00:14:03,250
Forgive me, Monsieur.
190
00:14:09,178 --> 00:14:10,695
The royal baby!
191
00:14:11,909 --> 00:14:13,783
We all have a heavy heart.
192
00:14:15,164 --> 00:14:16,870
I saw something.
193
00:14:17,098 --> 00:14:19,299
(Crying)
194
00:14:22,272 --> 00:14:23,897
I do not understand.
195
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,396
The child was alive and
the strangest colour!
196
00:14:30,111 --> 00:14:31,457
(Gasping)
197
00:14:32,043 --> 00:14:33,958
What madness are you speaking?
198
00:14:34,078 --> 00:14:35,246
Please, Sire, I beg you.
199
00:14:35,282 --> 00:14:36,441
I say this in the strictest confidence
200
00:14:36,442 --> 00:14:37,554
and in the spirit of loyalty.
201
00:14:37,584 --> 00:14:39,324
My mother works for you at St. Cloud,
202
00:14:39,336 --> 00:14:40,883
thus I felt I must speak it.
203
00:14:40,937 --> 00:14:44,412
Perhaps you might help me
join her there in service?
204
00:14:44,466 --> 00:14:46,370
I'm so scared!
205
00:15:00,673 --> 00:15:02,951
The doctors made every effort,
206
00:15:03,737 --> 00:15:06,154
but the pox was too strong,
207
00:15:06,662 --> 00:15:08,378
the fever too much.
208
00:15:10,656 --> 00:15:12,275
It took him.
209
00:15:23,434 --> 00:15:25,301
I am with you in your loss.
210
00:15:30,093 --> 00:15:31,278
Go home.
211
00:15:34,081 --> 00:15:36,003
Sire, you are my home.
212
00:15:36,123 --> 00:15:37,580
You must grieve while you can.
213
00:15:37,700 --> 00:15:39,212
I will.
214
00:15:39,453 --> 00:15:40,861
Be with those you love.
215
00:15:40,904 --> 00:15:42,481
I am, Sire.
216
00:15:44,602 --> 00:15:46,077
You defy me?
217
00:15:47,709 --> 00:15:49,896
My place is with you.
218
00:15:51,256 --> 00:15:52,827
God is punishing me
219
00:15:53,262 --> 00:15:55,256
for hurting those closest to my heart.
220
00:15:55,304 --> 00:15:56,917
He is testing you, Sire.
221
00:15:57,932 --> 00:15:59,872
He is offering you a gift.
222
00:16:00,518 --> 00:16:03,515
Vengeance and mercy are both his to choose.
223
00:16:03,781 --> 00:16:05,986
They are also yours.
224
00:16:07,727 --> 00:16:11,128
I believe he placed this child
in your care for a reason.
225
00:16:11,146 --> 00:16:12,500
I've heard enough.
226
00:16:12,548 --> 00:16:15,452
- She is strong. Let her live.
- And then what?
227
00:16:17,397 --> 00:16:18,668
Come now.
228
00:16:19,332 --> 00:16:20,760
Truly,
229
00:16:21,387 --> 00:16:22,678
answer me.
230
00:16:23,487 --> 00:16:27,176
Sire, I do not presume
any authority or judgement.
231
00:16:27,212 --> 00:16:28,675
Of course not.
232
00:16:31,479 --> 00:16:34,385
A secret such as this
has the power of a tide.
233
00:16:34,899 --> 00:16:37,140
Once released, it will go where it must,
234
00:16:37,358 --> 00:16:38,947
beyond our control,
235
00:16:39,527 --> 00:16:42,125
and that will be the end of my life,
236
00:16:42,766 --> 00:16:44,041
of your life,
237
00:16:44,161 --> 00:16:46,137
of everything we know of this court.
238
00:16:46,165 --> 00:16:48,337
- Sire, I meant only...
- Grieve your loss,
239
00:16:49,715 --> 00:16:51,685
but do not forget your place.
240
00:16:54,597 --> 00:16:56,464
(♪ Woman singing in Spanish)
241
00:16:56,639 --> 00:16:58,077
(Claudette): That colour...
242
00:16:58,682 --> 00:17:00,905
She needs the distraction. It will pass.
243
00:17:02,422 --> 00:17:03,570
You sound very sure.
244
00:17:04,174 --> 00:17:05,728
You doubt my opinion?
245
00:17:06,350 --> 00:17:08,761
I only see that she has not recovered.
246
00:17:08,803 --> 00:17:10,597
You have a different solution, perhaps?
247
00:17:11,292 --> 00:17:12,760
Why continue on the same course
248
00:17:12,790 --> 00:17:13,764
if there is no improvement?
249
00:17:13,812 --> 00:17:15,178
Why not change what is being done?
250
00:17:15,184 --> 00:17:17,407
I am not going to argue with you.
251
00:17:18,664 --> 00:17:20,211
Besides, what is done is done.
252
00:17:20,513 --> 00:17:21,993
Have you packed the bags?
253
00:17:22,048 --> 00:17:24,441
Father, stop this thinking.
It will be the end.
254
00:17:24,561 --> 00:17:25,728
Of both of us
255
00:17:26,441 --> 00:17:28,314
if we do not take measures!
256
00:17:28,356 --> 00:17:30,236
Then let me help you.
257
00:17:31,891 --> 00:17:34,218
We cannot unsee what we have seen,
258
00:17:35,807 --> 00:17:37,486
and they will kill us for it.
259
00:17:38,308 --> 00:17:40,960
She needs us here.
260
00:17:45,105 --> 00:17:46,290
(Bontemps): Sire,
261
00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:49,042
I serve you now
262
00:17:49,052 --> 00:17:51,227
as I served your father.
263
00:17:51,971 --> 00:17:54,835
He did things as they
have always been done.
264
00:17:55,427 --> 00:17:59,148
I see you as a very
different kind of man...
265
00:18:00,544 --> 00:18:02,514
born in a new age,
266
00:18:02,526 --> 00:18:04,539
born perhaps years ahead
267
00:18:04,551 --> 00:18:07,300
of all who love and follow you.
268
00:18:08,121 --> 00:18:09,874
The choice is clear, Sire.
269
00:18:09,922 --> 00:18:13,264
There are 2 paths, one
worn and one yet to be.
270
00:18:14,176 --> 00:18:17,119
How you plant your next step ahead
271
00:18:17,312 --> 00:18:21,059
in this moment will determine
the way ahead for all of us.
272
00:18:22,201 --> 00:18:23,899
We know how the kings of the past
273
00:18:23,924 --> 00:18:26,202
would have moved against this problem,
274
00:18:27,604 --> 00:18:30,136
but you are different, Sire.
275
00:18:30,305 --> 00:18:32,933
You are the king of our future.
276
00:18:34,806 --> 00:18:37,936
The only question is what kind shall it be?
277
00:18:44,389 --> 00:18:47,090
Add a monthly stipend
to the royal household.
278
00:18:48,655 --> 00:18:49,960
Under what name should I...
279
00:18:49,984 --> 00:18:52,123
The pension must remain outside of record,
280
00:18:52,455 --> 00:18:55,356
outside of all record.
281
00:18:58,184 --> 00:18:59,664
Do as you must.
282
00:19:06,867 --> 00:19:09,297
Baptize it thoroughly.
283
00:19:09,417 --> 00:19:11,937
(Baby grunting)
284
00:19:16,191 --> 00:19:19,013
See how life fights death.
285
00:19:21,708 --> 00:19:23,533
Cherish this moment.
286
00:19:24,644 --> 00:19:26,487
It is God-given.
287
00:19:32,795 --> 00:19:35,200
Stop at once! Fabien!
288
00:19:36,717 --> 00:19:38,687
- Give her to me!
- Our work protects the king.
289
00:19:38,807 --> 00:19:40,790
Your work here is finished.
290
00:19:40,996 --> 00:19:44,034
What chance does that wretch
have outside these walls?
291
00:19:44,154 --> 00:19:45,775
That is not your concern.
292
00:19:45,992 --> 00:19:47,588
Tomorrow, the Gazette de France
293
00:19:47,612 --> 00:19:49,509
will report on funeral preparations
294
00:19:49,551 --> 00:19:51,485
with all consideration of a royal passing.
295
00:19:51,509 --> 00:19:53,449
A grave is prepared.
296
00:19:58,591 --> 00:20:00,005
(Door slamming)
297
00:20:00,844 --> 00:20:03,165
A grave error, to be sure.
298
00:20:08,797 --> 00:20:10,886
(♪ Woman singing in French)
299
00:20:20,609 --> 00:20:23,631
(Whispering indistinctly)
300
00:20:30,113 --> 00:20:32,845
(Crying)
301
00:21:05,569 --> 00:21:06,977
How is he?
302
00:21:08,288 --> 00:21:09,672
As you would expect.
303
00:21:11,545 --> 00:21:13,376
He should be here.
304
00:21:13,726 --> 00:21:15,666
The king does not mourn.
305
00:21:19,013 --> 00:21:20,608
In public, perhaps.
306
00:21:20,995 --> 00:21:23,098
In truth, anywhere.
307
00:21:23,623 --> 00:21:26,342
It's not only protocol.
The man does not weep.
308
00:21:28,367 --> 00:21:30,131
Not with you, perhaps.
309
00:21:30,349 --> 00:21:32,101
It takes a woman to see it.
310
00:21:33,140 --> 00:21:35,551
His heart will be full of sorrow.
311
00:21:35,726 --> 00:21:37,273
His heart,
312
00:21:38,017 --> 00:21:39,406
if he has one,
313
00:21:39,998 --> 00:21:42,253
is a whole other matter entirely.
314
00:21:47,873 --> 00:21:49,208
Is it not?
315
00:21:53,366 --> 00:21:54,949
You look nice.
316
00:22:01,033 --> 00:22:04,115
Our Father, who art in heaven,
317
00:22:04,362 --> 00:22:06,012
hallowed be thy name.
318
00:22:06,284 --> 00:22:07,886
Thy kingdom come,
319
00:22:08,091 --> 00:22:10,858
thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven.
320
00:22:11,233 --> 00:22:12,985
Give us this day our daily bread,
321
00:22:13,704 --> 00:22:15,970
and forgive us our trespasses,
322
00:22:16,182 --> 00:22:19,027
as we forgive those that
trespass against us.
323
00:22:19,147 --> 00:22:21,523
- (Whimpering)
- Lead us not into temptation,
324
00:22:21,867 --> 00:22:24,719
but deliver us from evil...
325
00:22:25,148 --> 00:22:29,098
- (Choking)
- ... now and forever.
326
00:22:30,164 --> 00:22:31,689
Amen.
327
00:22:32,399 --> 00:22:34,703
(All): Amen.
328
00:23:02,045 --> 00:23:04,281
(Horse snorting)
329
00:23:08,722 --> 00:23:10,376
(Pounding on door)
330
00:23:15,708 --> 00:23:18,200
(Baby cooing)
331
00:23:39,862 --> 00:23:41,622
Who is that?
332
00:23:42,029 --> 00:23:43,850
He's your son.
333
00:23:45,776 --> 00:23:47,883
Louis XIV.
334
00:23:50,942 --> 00:23:52,997
(Louis XIII): Not yet, he's not.
335
00:23:55,888 --> 00:23:57,657
A maid comes crying to you
336
00:23:57,687 --> 00:23:59,787
and says she's got information
about the royal baby,
337
00:23:59,907 --> 00:24:03,157
- and now she's dead.
- (Sword clanging, ringing)
338
00:24:03,791 --> 00:24:06,336
Now we're told we cannot leave Versailles
339
00:24:06,366 --> 00:24:09,191
because the queen is unwell.
340
00:24:11,396 --> 00:24:12,748
What's going on?
341
00:24:13,375 --> 00:24:14,893
What is your brother hiding?
342
00:24:16,306 --> 00:24:18,111
You know him better than anyone.
343
00:24:22,825 --> 00:24:26,125
You be careful about what you
say and how loudly you say it.
344
00:24:29,381 --> 00:24:31,064
Do you think the king would think twice
345
00:24:31,093 --> 00:24:32,345
about dispatching you?
346
00:24:34,574 --> 00:24:36,498
Perhaps the baby was alive after all.
347
00:24:38,045 --> 00:24:40,977
- We saw the child buried.
- We saw a box buried.
348
00:24:53,155 --> 00:24:54,923
Your brother thinks you're weak.
349
00:24:56,784 --> 00:24:59,346
You have more power than you realize.
350
00:25:00,844 --> 00:25:02,325
Use it!
351
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,014
I intend to.
352
00:25:10,603 --> 00:25:13,292
This is your moment to shine, my love.
353
00:25:13,347 --> 00:25:14,428
I know.
354
00:25:15,069 --> 00:25:16,809
Show them who you are.
355
00:25:20,386 --> 00:25:22,241
The Spanish have fortified the towns of
356
00:25:22,253 --> 00:25:24,785
Charleroi, Tournai, Douai and Lille.
357
00:25:24,905 --> 00:25:28,447
Général Aumont has his
troops in the north, Turenne.
358
00:25:28,513 --> 00:25:30,815
His battalions lie to the east of Cambrai.
359
00:25:45,443 --> 00:25:46,875
I say cut off all of Flanders,
360
00:25:47,035 --> 00:25:48,307
along with Lille
361
00:25:49,057 --> 00:25:51,341
and the large Spanish bases in the east...
362
00:25:51,461 --> 00:25:52,730
Bruges,
363
00:25:53,963 --> 00:25:55,129
Ghent,
364
00:25:56,409 --> 00:25:59,262
Brussels and Namur.
365
00:26:00,217 --> 00:26:01,371
But to achieve your goal, we'd have
366
00:26:01,401 --> 00:26:03,177
to cut the Spanish off
from Tournai and Douai.
367
00:26:03,208 --> 00:26:05,184
Who would lead? Every man is accounted for.
368
00:26:05,522 --> 00:26:07,328
There is one, perhaps.
369
00:26:10,923 --> 00:26:13,858
But in truth, he may not be ready.
370
00:26:16,004 --> 00:26:18,290
(Councilmen whispering, indistinct)
371
00:26:38,844 --> 00:26:40,839
(Birds chirping)
372
00:26:56,060 --> 00:26:57,819
To meet here is too dangerous.
373
00:26:57,862 --> 00:27:00,079
We cannot leave while the queen is unwell.
374
00:27:00,199 --> 00:27:02,604
- The king will not have it.
- Perhaps that is his intention.
375
00:27:02,623 --> 00:27:06,072
Many noble families will ride
in for the carousel of fashion.
376
00:27:06,369 --> 00:27:08,780
This is our moment to make our case.
377
00:27:10,726 --> 00:27:14,124
I hear the Duc de Cassel shares our intent.
378
00:27:14,404 --> 00:27:15,588
Then let him come.
379
00:27:16,077 --> 00:27:17,715
De Cassel does his own will.
380
00:27:17,938 --> 00:27:19,345
He's too rich and too powerful
381
00:27:19,369 --> 00:27:21,119
to listen to any other man but himself,
382
00:27:21,771 --> 00:27:24,212
but if we were to persuade his friends,
383
00:27:24,444 --> 00:27:26,276
then we might yet persuade him.
384
00:27:27,537 --> 00:27:28,726
No matter what,
385
00:27:28,978 --> 00:27:32,319
the building of Versailles must be stopped.
386
00:27:33,454 --> 00:27:35,851
We grow in number everyday,
387
00:27:36,591 --> 00:27:40,346
and not even a king can stop a tide.
388
00:27:55,216 --> 00:27:57,744
I have never seen a cipher quite like this.
389
00:27:58,174 --> 00:28:00,055
Even Rossignol cannot break it.
390
00:28:00,306 --> 00:28:03,356
This was in Montcourt's rooms,
you say, yet he walks free?
391
00:28:03,375 --> 00:28:04,855
Free, but not unwatched.
392
00:28:05,121 --> 00:28:06,852
So we do not know what it says?
393
00:28:07,911 --> 00:28:10,212
These symbols share a common thread
394
00:28:10,275 --> 00:28:12,818
with those we liberated from the prisoners.
395
00:28:13,891 --> 00:28:15,090
Spaniards?
396
00:28:15,443 --> 00:28:18,478
Someone inside your court was helping them.
397
00:28:18,652 --> 00:28:20,460
Someone inside was a friendly face.
398
00:28:20,532 --> 00:28:22,674
Then we must summon Montcourt to us.
399
00:28:23,312 --> 00:28:25,757
Better to lie fallow
and collect information.
400
00:28:26,961 --> 00:28:28,195
This paper
401
00:28:28,315 --> 00:28:30,737
was placed freely upon Montcourt's bureau.
402
00:28:30,857 --> 00:28:33,034
So he may not have known its true purpose.
403
00:28:33,479 --> 00:28:35,766
Well, one thing is clear:
404
00:28:36,288 --> 00:28:38,430
There is a plot against you, Sire.
405
00:28:38,662 --> 00:28:40,640
Montcourt has wounded you before,
406
00:28:40,656 --> 00:28:42,124
and he may try again.
407
00:28:42,728 --> 00:28:45,044
(Horses neighing and trotting)
408
00:28:53,432 --> 00:28:55,520
(♪ Woman singing in French)
409
00:28:55,689 --> 00:28:58,014
Oh! See, that's very nice!
410
00:29:00,673 --> 00:29:02,568
(♪ Singing in French)
411
00:29:19,357 --> 00:29:22,078
The men are at war, and so are we.
412
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,616
The men use their
swords. We use our beauty.
413
00:29:24,950 --> 00:29:27,053
But the end is the same, my dear.
414
00:29:27,812 --> 00:29:29,267
Conquest.
415
00:29:30,224 --> 00:29:31,617
This one is nice.
416
00:29:32,318 --> 00:29:34,169
Oh, you'll need more than just a dress.
417
00:29:34,289 --> 00:29:36,335
A filigree bracelet and
a necklace of diamonds,
418
00:29:36,354 --> 00:29:37,490
believe me!
419
00:29:37,610 --> 00:29:39,331
But how will we pay?
420
00:29:40,568 --> 00:29:42,299
Oh! Let me worry about that.
421
00:29:42,584 --> 00:29:44,344
Your job is to bring me a king.
422
00:29:44,832 --> 00:29:46,186
He's not even here.
423
00:29:59,919 --> 00:30:01,457
When you gaze at a king,
424
00:30:01,466 --> 00:30:02,863
do not avert your eyes,
425
00:30:03,671 --> 00:30:05,672
especially when you
look as you do right now.
426
00:30:07,485 --> 00:30:09,650
You were never more
beautiful than at this moment.
427
00:30:11,733 --> 00:30:12,738
Leave us.
428
00:30:30,745 --> 00:30:31,829
Take it off.
429
00:30:48,575 --> 00:30:49,943
There is talk of war.
430
00:30:51,089 --> 00:30:52,109
Always.
431
00:30:53,612 --> 00:30:55,541
My husband would love to fight.
432
00:30:57,794 --> 00:30:59,355
Is that his desire?
433
00:31:01,395 --> 00:31:03,063
He talks of nothing else.
434
00:31:05,117 --> 00:31:07,249
If I send him to the Spanish Netherlands,
435
00:31:08,192 --> 00:31:09,618
he may not return.
436
00:31:10,884 --> 00:31:13,494
A glorious death would not displease him.
437
00:31:14,809 --> 00:31:16,902
That is my brother you are talking about.
438
00:31:19,421 --> 00:31:21,523
I speak it, Sire,
439
00:31:22,335 --> 00:31:23,974
but you think it.
440
00:31:25,429 --> 00:31:27,695
Well, a little death is good for everyone.
441
00:31:27,710 --> 00:31:28,879
(Chuckling)
442
00:31:28,999 --> 00:31:31,117
(Spear pounding on ground)
443
00:31:31,127 --> 00:31:32,746
(Guard): Le Chevalier de Lorraine!
444
00:31:33,297 --> 00:31:35,274
Philippe, Duc d'Orléans!
445
00:31:35,724 --> 00:31:37,861
(♪ Woman singing in French)
446
00:31:48,955 --> 00:31:51,082
(Man chuckling)
447
00:31:51,202 --> 00:31:52,818
(Chuckling)
448
00:31:53,088 --> 00:31:54,814
Oh, look!
449
00:31:57,308 --> 00:32:00,243
(♪ Singing in French)
450
00:32:00,363 --> 00:32:02,771
(Man laughing)
451
00:32:06,811 --> 00:32:07,894
You mock me?
452
00:32:09,804 --> 00:32:10,891
How can I not?
453
00:32:11,612 --> 00:32:13,439
You are an embarrassment to the king.
454
00:32:14,010 --> 00:32:15,871
(Man laughing)
455
00:32:16,774 --> 00:32:18,408
You mock me, you mock my brother,
456
00:32:18,418 --> 00:32:20,323
and that makes you a traitor.
457
00:32:20,443 --> 00:32:22,450
If I smite you, you will fall,
458
00:32:22,783 --> 00:32:24,867
which makes me a dead man.
459
00:32:28,822 --> 00:32:29,822
Coward!
460
00:32:30,088 --> 00:32:31,710
(Courtiers exclaiming)
461
00:32:31,844 --> 00:32:33,636
(Men grunting)
462
00:32:35,111 --> 00:32:38,416
(Moaning and panting)
463
00:32:40,805 --> 00:32:42,921
(Panting)
464
00:32:50,540 --> 00:32:51,777
(Both grunting)
465
00:32:52,498 --> 00:32:54,697
(Groaning)
466
00:32:56,359 --> 00:32:57,834
(Giggling)
467
00:32:58,829 --> 00:33:00,367
(Grunting)
468
00:33:04,973 --> 00:33:06,674
(Groaning)
469
00:33:12,238 --> 00:33:13,984
(Groaning)
470
00:33:16,734 --> 00:33:18,276
(Groaning)
471
00:33:18,807 --> 00:33:20,127
Stop!
472
00:33:21,582 --> 00:33:23,274
I think you've made your point.
473
00:33:31,124 --> 00:33:33,033
(Moaning)
474
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,085
Have you lost your mind?
475
00:33:54,729 --> 00:33:56,121
You choose who I marry,
476
00:33:57,224 --> 00:33:59,645
you choose where I live and
how much money I can spend,
477
00:33:59,674 --> 00:34:02,222
but you do not get to choose
what I wear and who I fuck.
478
00:34:02,256 --> 00:34:03,513
Understand this:
479
00:34:03,827 --> 00:34:06,422
Everything you are reflects on me.
480
00:34:06,775 --> 00:34:08,911
I've been dressed like this
since I was 3 months old.
481
00:34:10,202 --> 00:34:12,324
My goal in life was to be less than you.
482
00:34:13,344 --> 00:34:14,960
It was not my choice. It was my duty,
483
00:34:14,996 --> 00:34:17,691
so that I would not be the
cloud in front of the sun.
484
00:34:18,555 --> 00:34:21,388
You think it's hard to be a king?
485
00:34:21,425 --> 00:34:23,666
Try being a king's brother for a day.
486
00:34:25,908 --> 00:34:27,400
You can't trick me.
487
00:34:28,947 --> 00:34:30,850
I know what you're planning here
488
00:34:32,735 --> 00:34:34,233
and what you're hiding.
489
00:34:36,189 --> 00:34:37,301
That's right.
490
00:34:38,437 --> 00:34:39,491
I know you,
491
00:34:40,380 --> 00:34:41,260
Brother.
492
00:34:42,633 --> 00:34:44,074
I have never given you anything other
493
00:34:44,107 --> 00:34:45,606
than my love and respect.
494
00:34:45,620 --> 00:34:46,722
Is that what you say to yourself
495
00:34:46,751 --> 00:34:48,902
- while you're fucking my wife?
- Someone has to!
496
00:34:57,028 --> 00:34:58,677
Everything I have, I share with you,
497
00:34:59,048 --> 00:35:00,832
but you won't share the truth.
498
00:35:01,499 --> 00:35:04,854
How can I have your back if
you won't tell me the truth?
499
00:35:04,912 --> 00:35:06,813
There are some things you cannot know,
500
00:35:07,650 --> 00:35:09,881
that only a king can know.
501
00:35:10,258 --> 00:35:11,510
What happened to the baby?
502
00:35:11,879 --> 00:35:13,963
The child did not survive.
503
00:35:19,334 --> 00:35:21,517
Don't you understand how rumours start?
504
00:35:23,156 --> 00:35:25,463
Your silence only fuels the fire.
505
00:35:31,325 --> 00:35:32,737
Let me help you.
506
00:35:34,339 --> 00:35:36,769
I have never uttered
an ill word against you,
507
00:35:37,329 --> 00:35:38,275
my brother.
508
00:35:44,592 --> 00:35:46,476
It's not your words that worry me...
509
00:35:49,562 --> 00:35:50,481
Brother.
510
00:35:57,223 --> 00:35:58,087
(Louise): Majesty,
511
00:35:58,110 --> 00:36:00,559
I wanted you to know
I've been praying for you.
512
00:36:02,543 --> 00:36:03,627
Why?
513
00:36:08,336 --> 00:36:12,280
As we sink into our deepest
misery, we must remember:
514
00:36:13,293 --> 00:36:15,259
God's will is to rouse our souls
515
00:36:15,268 --> 00:36:17,419
in longing for our promised Saviour.
516
00:36:19,109 --> 00:36:20,934
"Know that our redeemer liveth."
517
00:36:35,762 --> 00:36:37,487
You are a whore.
518
00:36:39,271 --> 00:36:41,141
You come to me for contrition
519
00:36:41,142 --> 00:36:44,014
even as my king's seed swells your belly.
520
00:36:46,950 --> 00:36:50,304
We are all damned in this
place. Do you not see?
521
00:36:50,695 --> 00:36:54,049
I am the queen of harlots, and
you are a pious puta,
522
00:36:54,067 --> 00:36:56,220
and we can beg for mercy all we like.
523
00:36:56,288 --> 00:36:59,360
The hellfires are gaping
and will swallow us all.
524
00:36:59,646 --> 00:37:02,190
Her Majesty is tired. You must leave.
525
00:37:07,665 --> 00:37:10,509
You tend to Her Majesty.
I'll get items for a poultice.
526
00:37:10,523 --> 00:37:12,007
(Claudine): She's sick
because of the birth.
527
00:37:12,185 --> 00:37:13,695
Where is Nabo?
528
00:37:13,854 --> 00:37:16,468
And the poultice will reduce
the swelling of the womb.
529
00:37:16,699 --> 00:37:18,428
It is swelling for a reason.
530
00:37:18,492 --> 00:37:19,707
Do as I say!
531
00:37:19,989 --> 00:37:22,673
(Groaning)
532
00:37:24,806 --> 00:37:26,326
Help me, please!
533
00:37:28,668 --> 00:37:29,762
And call for the king.
534
00:37:31,248 --> 00:37:33,542
Your Majesty, let me at
least make you comfortable.
535
00:37:34,466 --> 00:37:35,609
Your Majesty?
536
00:37:41,907 --> 00:37:43,050
Your Majesty!
537
00:37:43,528 --> 00:37:44,907
Get my father, quickly!
538
00:37:45,027 --> 00:37:46,226
(Footsteps retreating)
539
00:37:46,932 --> 00:37:48,361
Your Majesty!
540
00:37:58,278 --> 00:38:00,358
The north and the east
are out of the question.
541
00:38:00,408 --> 00:38:01,660
We simply cannot...
542
00:38:02,934 --> 00:38:03,960
You took it.
543
00:38:04,768 --> 00:38:06,192
Brother, you are red in the face.
544
00:38:06,242 --> 00:38:08,650
You took my tactic, and you gave it to him.
545
00:38:09,715 --> 00:38:13,380
All my life I have longed for
war, even the smallest taste,
546
00:38:13,402 --> 00:38:16,197
and you deny me again and again.
547
00:38:16,206 --> 00:38:19,257
- Ask me who will lead the charge.

You will.
549
00:38:22,244 --> 00:38:23,365
Sire,
550
00:38:23,746 --> 00:38:26,027
you mentioned that the
man might not be ready yet.
551
00:38:26,078 --> 00:38:28,200
I was talking about you, Louvois.
552
00:38:29,195 --> 00:38:30,930
Congratulations, Brother.
553
00:38:31,539 --> 00:38:32,984
You are going to war.
554
00:38:33,376 --> 00:38:35,624
(Man): Sire, the queen!
555
00:38:48,754 --> 00:38:51,036
- It must be in there.
- God in heaven!
556
00:38:51,087 --> 00:38:53,186
Push on her stomach where you feel my hand,
557
00:38:53,306 --> 00:38:54,876
near the ovarium.
558
00:38:55,115 --> 00:38:57,334
- I'll pull it out through her lower womb.
- Pull what out?
559
00:38:57,510 --> 00:38:59,342
If she dies, we both die.
560
00:38:59,376 --> 00:39:00,804
There, I have it!
561
00:39:05,537 --> 00:39:07,301
Her pulse is stronger.
562
00:39:07,335 --> 00:39:08,860
We will never speak of this.
563
00:39:08,903 --> 00:39:10,599
Speak of what?
564
00:39:10,934 --> 00:39:13,773
Her Majesty was unwell, Sire, and bled,
565
00:39:14,131 --> 00:39:17,391
but I'm glad to say her condition
now looks as though it will improve.
566
00:39:17,821 --> 00:39:19,278
So I see.
567
00:39:19,642 --> 00:39:21,127
You may leave.
568
00:39:24,438 --> 00:39:26,150
You will stay.
569
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:29,336
Privacy!
570
00:39:44,934 --> 00:39:46,277
Show me your arm.
571
00:39:46,761 --> 00:39:48,604
What is that in your hand?
572
00:39:49,161 --> 00:39:51,408
Is this how you stopped the bleeding?
573
00:39:51,875 --> 00:39:53,792
Lie to me, you lie to God.
574
00:39:53,968 --> 00:39:55,526
Afterbirth.
575
00:39:55,566 --> 00:39:58,634
- I removed it from her uterus. It is...
- I know where it is.
576
00:39:58,874 --> 00:40:01,249
How did you know it would stop the blood?
577
00:40:01,456 --> 00:40:02,928
A guess.
578
00:40:03,497 --> 00:40:05,824
I'm a midwife trained by my father.
579
00:40:06,711 --> 00:40:08,850
I am also a student of
anatomy and medicine.
580
00:40:08,907 --> 00:40:13,394
I do not recall signing any
laws allowing women doctors.
581
00:40:14,595 --> 00:40:19,076
I took body parts, studied the organs,
582
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,387
took down detailed notes and drew them.
583
00:40:21,507 --> 00:40:24,781
A justice would assume the worst
and have you burned at the stake.
584
00:40:25,705 --> 00:40:28,647
- If that's your command...
- My command...
585
00:40:31,656 --> 00:40:34,607
is that you will remain close
to me on medical matters.
586
00:40:35,162 --> 00:40:36,905
As to your father's position,
587
00:40:37,025 --> 00:40:40,624
in the eyes of the court,
he will remain our physician,
588
00:40:40,631 --> 00:40:43,219
but the advice I will
heed will come from you.
589
00:40:45,224 --> 00:40:47,308
Bontemps, let in some air.
590
00:40:50,380 --> 00:40:52,648
Unless you advise against it?
591
00:40:53,075 --> 00:40:55,814
As long as we cover her, the
fresh air will give much benefit.
592
00:40:56,122 --> 00:40:58,135
Comfrey and calendula will aid her healing,
593
00:40:58,150 --> 00:40:59,573
rosemary for the pain.
594
00:41:11,892 --> 00:41:13,440
Don't look so surprised.
595
00:41:14,031 --> 00:41:15,823
I've put many women to bed.

She passed away 6 weeks ago, sadly.

Thank you for the speed with
which you rushed back to court.

I can see you didn't even have time

These are not my mourning clothes, Sire.

They're not your evening clothes, either.

Neither are they French clothes, Montcourt.

Your father, the baron,
638
00:44:12,702 --> 00:44:15,512
inherited his title
from his grandfather, no?
639
00:44:15,888 --> 00:44:16,902
Yes, Sire.
640
00:44:17,414 --> 00:44:20,485
Yet this was a title originally
bequeathed to his grandmother,
641
00:44:20,605 --> 00:44:22,270
the Baroness of Saint-Maur.
642
00:44:23,056 --> 00:44:25,137
But she married no higher than "seigneur."

de Saint-Maur no less, Sire.
645
00:44:29,545 --> 00:44:31,426
And no more, sadly, for you.
646
00:44:31,911 --> 00:44:33,856
A farmer's son might call himself

Charles de Saint-Maur

if indeed that is where he was born.
649
00:44:38,248 --> 00:44:40,559
Your father was a common
man with a fiefdom,
650
00:44:40,764 --> 00:44:43,561
a vassal to his overlord, the true noble,
651
00:44:44,127 --> 00:44:45,695
the Grand Seigneur.
652
00:44:49,403 --> 00:44:50,896
Isn't that right, Montcourt?
653
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,580
You might be labelled a vassal, perhaps,
654
00:44:56,178 --> 00:44:57,342
or a peasant,
655
00:44:57,951 --> 00:45:00,279
yet you seek to raise
yourself above those men,
656
00:45:00,662 --> 00:45:04,084
both of whom would gladly sweat
and toil to feed their families,
657
00:45:04,128 --> 00:45:05,502
pay their taxes
658
00:45:05,696 --> 00:45:07,722
and honour their duties to their king.
659
00:45:09,011 --> 00:45:10,838
You think yourself above them, Montcourt,
660
00:45:10,860 --> 00:45:12,353
yet you lie far below.
661
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,575
You pay nothing
662
00:45:15,957 --> 00:45:18,783
and do nothing, which leads me to believe
663
00:45:18,975 --> 00:45:21,077
you are nothing,
664
00:45:22,165 --> 00:45:24,073

665
00:45:25,728 --> 00:45:27,700
What is a nothing doing at my court?
666
00:45:28,449 --> 00:45:30,568
I can find you my papers, Sire.
667
00:45:31,225 --> 00:45:32,459
I beg you,
668
00:45:32,804 --> 00:45:34,528
allow me to prove my worth.
669
00:45:34,566 --> 00:45:36,285
The papers are all here, Montcourt,
670
00:45:37,045 --> 00:45:39,045

671
00:45:39,077 --> 00:45:41,805
As to the delay, Sire, as I mentioned,
672
00:45:41,805 --> 00:45:43,573
um, we did not wish to bother you
673
00:45:43,589 --> 00:45:46,606
- with such trivial affairs of the state...
- I AM THE STATE!
674
00:46:01,797 --> 00:46:03,305

675
00:46:03,321 --> 00:46:05,545

Your noble birth freed you from our taxes.
685
00:46:30,845 --> 00:46:33,090
Your falsehood has condemned you to pay.

00:50:12,537 --> 00:50:16,511
they will write stories
about this place of wonder.
728
00:50:17,043 --> 00:50:18,707
But when they do,
729
00:50:19,044 --> 00:50:22,784
I fear those that hear
it might not believe it...
730
00:50:23,707 --> 00:50:25,869
(Screaming)
731
00:50:26,247 --> 00:50:29,366
... and think it some kind of fairytale.
732
00:50:29,373 --> 00:50:31,340
Oh my God! Oh my God!
733
00:50:31,460 --> 00:50:33,670
(Woman screaming)
734
00:50:37,672 --> 00:50:39,356
(Sobbing)
735
00:50:42,893 --> 00:50:45,621
Did your son approve of the dream?
736
00:50:50,041 --> 00:50:53,120
He asked me if that was where he was going.
737
00:50:54,831 --> 00:50:56,677
I told him it was.
738
00:51:06,493 --> 00:51:09,362
Some would say your son
is in a better place.
739
00:51:12,698 --> 00:51:14,739
I happen to believe that true paradise
740
00:51:14,739 --> 00:51:16,822
lies in his father's arms,
741
00:51:17,765 --> 00:51:20,710
to be here with you
742
00:51:21,586 --> 00:51:23,566
in this moment.
743
00:51:26,565 --> 00:51:28,693
But that is not our choice.
744
00:51:29,508 --> 00:51:31,704
God has made his plans,
745
00:51:31,731 --> 00:51:34,298
and we cannot question his design,
746
00:51:35,275 --> 00:51:38,489
just as my people can't question mine.
747
00:51:40,368 --> 00:51:42,066
But they will.
748
00:51:43,872 --> 00:51:46,445
They mean to kill me, friend.
749
00:51:46,809 --> 00:51:48,864
They would kill us all
to preserve the past.
750
00:51:48,897 --> 00:51:50,835
They may even succeed.
751
00:51:51,154 --> 00:51:54,288
But change will come no matter what.
752
00:51:56,409 --> 00:52:00,278
(Horses trotting in distance)
753
00:52:03,475 --> 00:52:06,419
And if we are to endure,
there is only one course.
754
00:52:07,342 --> 00:52:09,512
Which is what, Sire?
755
00:52:11,391 --> 00:52:14,248
We must lay our own foundation here.
756
00:52:15,627 --> 00:52:17,261
Why here, Sire?
757
00:52:17,395 --> 00:52:19,793
Because I will not be the King of Paris.
758
00:52:19,913 --> 00:52:22,848
- (Horse neighing in distance)
- I know who I am.
759
00:52:24,717 --> 00:52:27,000
I am Louis XIV.
760
00:52:27,858 --> 00:52:29,930
I am King of France.
761
00:52:32,693 --> 00:52:36,600
Now these nobles must
prove their worth to me.
762
00:52:40,457 --> 00:52:43,034
See how they run.
763
00:52:54,899 --> 00:53:01,899
