Nostradamus Page #4

when this is over.

l would like to help you.

Well what do you know

how to do?

Nothing.

So l can learn anything.

Outside, l told you

a hundreds times!

They aren't to be burned here!

Where all the sick can watch!

How are they suppose

to get better!

the dead are to be burned...

on the outskirts of the city!

l am sorry l am on edge.

But it really is not good

for the sick to see that.

What are we going to do

with them all?

Why are burning the books?

Because l love you.

But, that is not an answer.

You are strange today.

l want to thank God

for bringing us together.

Nothing should ever part us

and no one, do you hear me?

Whatever is wrong with you?

l love you, Anne, l love you.

l love you, too.

we are going home.

Why did you burn the books?

Did you think you could

get rid of it so easily?

lt is all in your head,

you fool.

Open your eyes.

He wants you to see.

Get away from me!

You think you can run away

from yourself...

and just forget everything.

You sin against yourself when

you don't obey God's command.

Light the candle.

Leave me alone!

What happened?

What happened?

You are so pale.

There.

There.

There.

Can you read this scribbling?

Could you transcribe it

for me?

Whatever for?

God did not give me

this dreadful gift...

for me to keep it all

to myself.

You are not going

to publish it?

l have to warn people.

lf they keep on like this,

they will destroy everything.

Nature, themselves.

What are you doing?

That is how they will cut off

the king's head...

with a knife machine in Paris.

The knife falls from above

onto his neck...

the head falls into a basket.

They storm the prison

and free all the prisoners.

A mob in the streets,

thousands will die.

l saw it all.

Very clearly.

A revolution.

Everything will be overthrown.

The queen will die, too.

When will all this happen?

ln two hundred years.

Burn it.

How will help anyone?

lf it is all going to happen

as you say,...

they will just be afraid.

l will put everything in code.

Only those who have the key

will be able to understand it.

But will they believe it?

l have been thinking.

We could produce pills

and store them.

ln case the plague

breaks out again.

We could earn money,

pay people decently.

We could make perfume.

What do you think?

lt is a good idea.

l just do not have time.

Every night he stays in

his tower until morning.

Does not sleep at all anymore.

He is never tired.

Really, Helene.

After the way

he has helped us all,...

surely what he does at night

is none of our business.

You could at least be angry

that he treats me so badly.

He makes offensive remarks

whenever he sees me.

Stop it!

Do you think l've not seen

how you make eyes at him?

You are like a b*tch on heat.

Just leave him alone.

Michel said...

that you were talking

about making perfume.

l think it's a very good idea.

You should try it.

We do not know how.

Michel will teach us how.

Or do you not want

to do it anymore?

Yes, of course.

Good. That will please him.

And it will make me happy, too

Anne, wake up. Wake up.

What is it?

The King will die.

Who will die?

Henry ll. Our King.

And l know when and how.

ln a joust.

His opponent's lance will be

thrust to his helmet..

into his eye.

That will be proof that

my prophecies are correct.

l will finally be able

to publish everything.

You are mad.

You will have the church

and the King on your back.

What about the Queen,

Catherine?

She thinks highly of prophets.

He has publicly humiliated

her with Diane de Poitier.

l could not wish

for a better protector.

Your Majesty...

the King is still asleep.

l will wake him.

His majesty is not alone.

l know that.

''The young lion will

overcome the old one...

on the field of battle

in single combat.

He will put out his eyes

in a cage of gold.

Two wounds made one...

then to die a cruel death.''

My time is far too valuable

to waste on rubbish like that.

What do you think of it?

Nonsense.

l have invited the man

to come here.

Then he has got

what he wanted.

Just do not give him

too much money.

He is a cheat.

Like all those ltalians

in your stable.

l was just saying to the King

before you came in...

that it is time

that he visited you again.

l spoke to your doctor.

Tonight would be

the right time of the month.

About ten?

We wanted to play cards

until then.

Or, would you be too tired?

No.

Excuse me, Monsieur.

We heard you were a prophet.

The duchess of Beauveau's dog

has run away...

and she has been crying

ever since.

He is running stray

in the Rue Royal.

Thank you, sir!

You make perfume as well?

My wife does.

To pass the time.

And my sister-in-law.

lt is very powerful.

l thank you and your family.

Please, no ceremony.

l want to speak you

as a colleague.

l read your book.

lt is astonishing.

l have been working

with Ruggiero for years.

Do you know him?

-No.

-That surprises me.

He is generally considered

the best astrologer.

We shall see. Quite skilled in

the secret sciences as well

You predict

the death of the king.

Are you not afraid?

You believe l will

protect you?

Come.

My enemies.

Everything you see here

serves only to destroy them.

Now. Do not look so shocked.

The King is helpless

in the clutches of this woman.

He will die.

Regrettable.

Though about time

before France is ruined.

l want to speak openly to you.

l shall take over the

government for my small son.

lt will be difficult...

but l am the Queen of France.

God willed it so.

Will you help me?

lf l can.

Do you want to?

Yes.

We will continue tomorrow.

This Clouet

has painted me so often,...

you would think he could

manage without me by now.

But l enjoy watching.

Kill this Monsieur

de Nostradame.

Do you really think

that is necessary?

Today.

The King will receive him

this afternoon.

Slip some of your

poisonous brew...

from your witch's kitchen

into his glass.

Why do you take

this fool seriously?

l take everybody who predicts

your death seriously.

l am getting fat.

So this is the prophet.

But l am afraid

you will not impress me.

Even though everyone

is talking about...

the Duchess's dog found

in the rue Royal.

That was not my prophecy.

No, of course not,

slight of hand, doctor.

l do not suppose you care

to show me how you did it?

No magician will ever

reveal his tricks.

Omni notam pro magnifico.

l hear you have

predicted my death.

Do you think that is gallant?

l'd like to reciprocate.

l'll predict your death,

monsieur.

You will die.

What do you say to that? Am l

a good a prophet good as you?

Or do you wish

to deny this fact.

That you too will die.

You have been asleep

for two days.

Did you not know prophet

someone would try to kill you.

l know when l am going to die.

lt is not now.

Even if the stars may align.

Can l be sure that

l am reading them exactly.

Sleep.

Tomorrow you will meet

my children.

One, two, three.
