The Face of Alexandre Dumas: The Man in the Iron Mask Page #4

Do not add your own death

to this tragedy.

I beg you!

Get back! Get back!

YOU'RE the traitor.

See to the wounded.

Does your new

apartment suit you?

Sire, when you sent for me

after the news of Raoul,

I came to ask for your help.

I have no way to feed my family.

My father is dead, my mother...

..has a sickness of the lungs.

And your sister has

signs of the condition.

My physician saw them both

and is optimistic.

They will recover

at my country estate.

Your Majesty...

I know that for you, this day...

the earth has

spun round many times.

You must still feel it spinning.

Let us sit at a quiet dinner

and bring it to a pause.

Listen to me!

You've lost someone

dear to your heart.

And I have no desire for you

to turn that heart to stone.

I only ask you this:

that whatever you feel tonight,

you allow yourself

to share it openly with me.

To good health.

You are so beautiful.

I cannot do this.

Christine...

I hope you know there is

more of me to love than a crown.

Of all the wonders I have seen,

I have never seen any

as beautiful as you.

[Porthos] Aramis!

Is this the way to hell?

Hell may be our destination,

but not this trip.

[Porthos] A tomb!

We're in a tomb?

The secrecy is regrettable,

but necessary.

[Aramis] Please, sit.

When we were young and saw

injustice, we fought it.

Some problems cannot

be solved with a sword.

Some can't be settled

without one!

Here is the problem at hand.

The Jesuits oppose Louis' wars

and the starvation that results.

So, Louis has ordered me

to discover the identity

of the Jesuits' general.

And to kill him.

Let the secret general

worry about that!

The problem is...

..that I am he.

I am the General

of the Order of Jesuits.

What do you propose to do?

Replace the King.

- I cannot listen to this.

- It can't be done.

It can!

I am with you.

So am I.

No!

I need you.

All for one and one for all.

I cannot betray my king!

I swore an oath!

When a king is dishonourable,

you are removed from your oath.

An oath is an oath

because it cannot be removed!

Why do you follow him?

Why?

What we fought for is greater

than king or rank or reward.

What do you fight for?

For the belief that every man

can be better, even Louis.

Whatever the plan,

I am with you.

The next time we meet,

one of us will die.

Athos, wait!

D'Artagnan!

Even were I not a priest,

I could see that your heart

carries a secret weight

and that it is hurting you

to bear it alone.

I cannot betray my king.

I will defend him with my life.

Then God be with you.

For none of us will.

I hear there was an incident

at the Musketeers' gate,

where a man came

intent on killing me.

Is it our policy now
