- Regretfully so, your Eminence.
- When did this happen?
- Last night.
The Queen's maid,
That petite Constance
brought the Duke
through a secret passage.
Among the ladies
of the Queen's court
There are a few
honest Frenchwomen.
They saw this Constance
approach her Majesty,
Whisper something to her,
and the Queen left the room.
Sit down, will you!
How long was the Queen
absent?
As a nobleman...
I can strip you
of your title!
As a Christian,
I must inform you
that the Queen was out
for three quarters of an hour.
And Buckingham will take from
Paris the diamond studs.
The Queen's casket is empty.
The studs?
A truly royal
gift.
We've lost,
But who knows...
I'm sure, your brilliance...
Will offset
You sluggishness, Duke.
It may all be for the best.
What have you done already?
Damn it!
I've been duped and ridiculed!
A Musketeer!
Could it be Aramis?
The note and handkerchief
Had the initials C.B.T.
Constance Bonaceiux?
But it couldn't be!
Hey, you! Wait!
- What's the matter, sir?
- You are not Aramis!
From your last words I presume
You mistook me for another,
So, I forgive you.
- You, forgive me?!
- Yes.
Let us pass, if you
have no business with us.
I have no business
with you.
But I do have business
with this lady!
- Let me go, for heaven's sake!
- I trusted you!
- Lean on my arm.
- Damn it, sir!
For heaven's sake, milord!
- What? Milord?
- The Duke of Buckingham!
You must neutralize
Buckingham at all costs.
Even if we have to prove
His liaison with the Queen.
It is not in my interest,
but in the interest of France.
That's it, my friend.
Milord and you, my dear lady,
Forgive me.
But why?
I love her,
I was jealous.
Then it's different.
You must know the meaning of
True love.
Me?
Forgive me and command me
To give my life to save you.
Accept his services,
milord.
You're a courageous young man.
See us to the carriage,
That's waiting for me.
And if you notice a spy,
Kill him.
Certainly, milord.
Strangers ahead of us,
milord.
Excellent!
A man, dressed as a Musketeer,
accompanied by a lady,
will come this way.
Pretend you're thieves
And kill the man.
Take the lady to the Bastille.
You two - to the basement,
The rest remain here.
You don't recognize me?
Now you will.
Here I am, gentlemen.
Take a rest.
Get up, there, there.
This way, milord.
I love you.
But promise, you'll never
Spy on me again.
Never.
Good-bye.
I don't need you now.
When you have everything,
And power over everyone,
Why think of love?
As teardrops fall from my eyes,
It's so hard to realize,
That like the rest,
You've been rejected.
Your name to me -
Is manna from heaven,
Let the other one
Call you your Majesty.
Oh, may I call you
simply "Anna."
You've turned a politician
into a poet,
For me there's only
One goddess,
You are Queen of France,
But that is not the reason.
You are the queen
Of my heart.
You name to me -
Is manna from heaven.
Let the other one
Call you your Majesty.
Oh, may I call you
Simply "Anna,"
And be your, yours only,
In body and spirit.
I cannot return
Your affection,
I am faithful
To his Majesty,
You have power
As your lover,
And I regret to say
That a clergyman's passion
Looks ridiculous.
Your name to me -
Is Holy Communion,
Why should your Eminence
Expect a different role?
So may I continue
My life of the sinner
Without your
affection,
Without your
affection.
I didn't call for you.
Monseigneur, Buckingham
Managed to escape from Paris.
What?!
Who's to blame
This time?
You may laugh,
but it's that damn
Gascon again!
Yes, monseigneur?
You shall go to London
at once.
In 6 days Buckingham
Is giving a ball.
The Duke will be wearing
12 diamond studs.
You will cut off 2 of them,
And return to Paris
immediately.
I must present them
to her Majesty.
Take 200 ecus
From my purser.
You'll get 200 more
If you succeed.
- You have something to say?
- No, monseigneur.
- La Chesnaye!
