To the drawbridge!

To the drawbridge!

What's she doing?

To the drawbridge!

- The drawbridge is closed.

- Not for long!

Let's go!

That's mine!

It's a great victory, Jeanne.

Your victory.

We must pursue the English to Talbot's

camp, unless you have another idea.

First, we find the biggest army we can.

Then we return to Orlans.

- The bridge is down.

- The English are rebuilding it.

How do you know?

You have been with your counsel,

and I have been with mine.

Come on, come on! Hurry up.

Be careful with my baby.

That's the Tourelles.

Wonderful.

Captain!

The froggy whore's coming

to pay us a visit.

I'd better tell Glasdale.

Put the horses over there.

Fathers, please bless them.

- Please, bless them all.

- We will.

Let's plan this attack more carefully.

Good idea.

Sire.

We've got visitors.

Glasdale!

Do you hear me?

You, who call me a whore!

I feel pity for you,

for your soul...

...and for the souls of your men!

Yield! Yield now

to the King of Heaven!

Or go back to your island!

And you, go back to your pigsty!

Man the walls.

This morning...

...God gave us a great victory.

But it is nothing compared to what

He is ready to give us now.

I know you are all tired and hungry...

...but I swear to you...

...even if the English were hanging

from the clouds by their fingertips...

...we'd pull them down before nightfall.

Now...

...let all those who love me...

...follow me!

Follow me!

You were saying?

Come on!

- I go right.

- I go left!

Come on!

Get that f***ing pot of oil now!

Come on!

Get that f***ing thing moving!

Move that f***er faster! Go!

You're beautiful.

Let's see if you're powerful.

Do something!

Like what?

I don't care!

Fire!

Fire!

F***!

Too high.

Reload!

- Get out of here!

- But the men!

You'll get killed! Get out of here!

Come on, fight!

Come on, fight!

Bring the culverin!

You'll get killed!

- Jeanne!

- Leave me alone!

Follow me! Come on! Come on!

Come on!

Let's go!

You just killed my woman!

Captain!

Go to hell.

Call the physician! The physician!

Damn it!

Louis, find the physician.

We have to take out the arrow.

She'll bleed to death if we do it now.

There must be something

we can do for her.

- You can pray.

- Good idea.

I swear...

...that I will never swear again

in my life if You save her.

But I warn you, if You let her die...

...You're the biggest, god...

Don't swear.

He heard me!

Why aren't you fighting?

You've been badly wounded.

It's nothing.

It's an arrow.

And it's in deep.

Stay still till the physician arrives.

You'll have more luck

with this charm of mine.

It saved my life at Agincourt.

I'd rather die than use magic.

You will die if that arrow

stays in you much longer.

Well, at least this one

won't bother us anymore.

Let's go to the battle!

Please!

She's nuts!

You must stay calm. You must rest.

I'll rest.

But you have to...

...promise me...

...that you'll go back to the battle.

I promise.

Jesus Christ!

Hurry!

Quickly! Do something!

She's sleeping.

What?

Come on back!

Why are you running away?

- Jeanne is alive.

- Good.

- We have to press on the attack.

- Sound the retreat.

- I promised we'd fight.

- I made no such promise!

Sound the retreat!

- No. That was her order.

- I'm fed up with taking her orders!

She swore she'd defeat

the English before nightfall.

Instead, she plays the fool,

gets herself nearly killed!

Look! Look at the mess we are in!

That's her mess, not mine!

We are worse off than

if she'd never come at all.

Now do as I say and sound the retreat!

Where are you going?

Hey, come back!

Come back and fight!

- What are you making?

- A message for the English.

What are the men saying?

She's a gift from God.

Some even call her a saint.

I'd follow her through hell.

Will you go that far

if she asks you to?

Of course I will.

I've been there before.

There's one thing I don't understand.

If she's been sent by God...

...why did He let her be wounded?

So maybe the good question is,

is she really sent by God?

Who knows?

God knows.

A woman with a sword.

Catherine!

Catherine.

Catherine.

You've hurt my feelings.

Frenchies!

What happened to your precious angel?

Frenchies!

I'll tell you what happened!

We sent the little b*tch

back to Hell...

...so she can go f*** with the Devil!

What are you gonna do now, Frenchies?

Why not come out and fight? Come on!

Bastards, wake up!

Or are you too busy praying...

...to bring your little f***ing witch

back from the dead?

Do you hear me?

I hear you!

I'm alive!

May God forgive your blasphemy.

For I never will.

I never will!

What are you doing? You need to rest.

We must wake up the soldiers. Now!

My fine soldiers, wake up.

My fine soldiers, wake up!

To arms! To arms!

Wake up!

Wake up! We must fight the battle!

Wake up!

My fine soldiers, the battle has begun!

Wake up!

To arms!

Wake up! The time has come!

The battle has begun!

To arms!

My soldiers, we need this tower up!

We need it up now!

My soldiers, help me!

Pull!

What's going on?

We're taking back the Tourelles.

Get ready!

Go wake up Glasdale.

- What are you doing?

- Sending a message to Glasdale.

With that?

But you've got it back to front.

Listen, I know what I'm doing.

So either lend a hand

or get back to bed.

I'm going to send a message

to Glasdale too.

My lord?

What?

The French witch,

she's back from the dead.

Hurry up, men!

Shouldn't we take some time

to think about this?

Sooner is better than later.

To arms!

Good morning!

Good morning!

This one.

What is she playing at?

I don't know! The question is,

what is she doing now?

How can we plan if she

doesn't consult with us?

- Did we consult with her yesterday?

- You agreed to attack yesterday.

- But that doesn't count.

- Why?

Because I always agree

to attack. To arms!

Crazy b*tch. She doesn't even

know how to use it.

Come on!

Come on! Go!

Oh, my God!

F***! Close the doors!

Close the doors!

Glasdale!

Open the door!

Load the porcupine!

Pull!

And pull!

Come on! Come on, hurry up!

Come on!

Never wait for miracles. Stay there.

French whore! Come and get me!

Come and get me! Come on!

What are you waiting for?

Find your archers and burn that door.

Right away!

Move it! Push!

Prepare the gate!

Position!

Fire!

Water!

Fire!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Kill her.

F***.

Reload!

More archers!

Fire!

Fire!

Perfect.

More archers!

Help me!

We'll load this up as a battering ram!

Already done.

- What?

- Nothing.

Help me with these men, please.

As you command.

- What are you doing?

- Opening that door.

Isn't that what you want?

Get out of my f***ing way!

Fill the cauldron!

F***ing French! What the f***

do you know about me?

Reload. Reload!

Fill the f***ing cauldron!

What are you waiting for?

More men! More men!

More men!

Ready!

Pour the oil!

Pour the oil!

What are you doing, Jeanne?

I'm playing.

What are you doing to me, Jeanne?

What are you doing to me, Jeanne?
